That's just not true.

1) Cops issue statement
2) Black people say it's a lie
3) News prints cops' statement as the truth
4) Facts come out later proving that the cops lied
...
5) New incident happens
6) Cops issue statement
7) Black people say it's a lie
Etc...

Repeat ad infinitum.

It's a weak excuse to say that journalists have no choice but to credulously print whatever lies the cops give them. You don't need to go to journalism school to understand that there are options.
