Spin works many ways.
Ray, you can't be serious! Yes, he was shuffling slowly with hands in pockets. Perhaps deserving of a strong word and, if that doesn't work, some proportionate coercion. Take him by the arm, two of you, one on either side if necessary, and move him to where you want him. But take a baton and whack him from behind with no forewarning and then shove him so hard in the back he goes flying (hands still in pockets) and breaks his fall with his skull?

Sorry, spin it how you like, and though the whole 'truth' of the matter may not come out (was he p1ssed? Was he deliberately shuffling (the evil dangerous git) or was he confused?), the lie was lazy and plain to see.

You need further proof? How often does something like this need three autopsies in as many weeks?

But to the original point of the thread -- perhaps technology is making it easier for us to detect lies such as the example above which has always happened, but I also believe the flipside is that it makes it easier to lie. Sometimes for very little reason (such as the gorgeous photo of 'not-Canada').
