QUESTION: Why do you think people often rush to conclusions when a major news story first breaks?
The Water Cooler – Why Do You Think People Often Rush To Conclusions When A Major News Story First Breaks?

Regarding the case in Minneapolis, it’s because both sides, the right and the left believe they are right, and the opposition is wrong. It’s worse with the left because they work themselves
up into a frenzy and turn a deaf ear to reason. My question to the left is why weren’t they this upset on Jan 6 when a Capitol police officer shot and murdered an unarmed Ashli Babbitt?
But of all the people that should wait until all the facts are in, it should be the President of the United States. I was disappointed when I read Trump’s statement that the ICE agent was run over, when the videos clearly show him still standing.

It’s human nature ….. it will never change…. there’s a saying something like “your first impression is the most lasting”
I think it depends on your mindset. Some people prefer to rush to conclusions while others are more patient, and prefer to wait until all the facts are in. As the saying goes, let it play out…

Let’s be honest: we all do. But then we should back up a bit, wait for more details. I wish thec2vMinnesota politicians would have done that in the last day before they became unhinged before the public, which could further fuel hatred among the liberal lefties.
Havent read all the facts to make an educated opinion and are fed fake news. Just a hunch
It’s because that’s how the American corporate media has trained the American public.
Many appear to listen to the extreme left greedy
media, who aren’t journalists anymore, but ironically greedy socialists. Psychologically easier to make a quick misguided opinion, rather than observing, listening and forming
a well-informed, educated opinion
based on facts.
Well, when’s there video of it there’s really no confusion, is there?…
@concerned Citizen
One would think so, wouldn’t they? But during Auto-Pen’s administration, there was plenty of video coverage of our open borders showing thousands of illegals crossing into this country; however, said administration, the mainstream media, and dem politicians kept saying our borders were closed and secure.
Concerned Citizen,
.
Not necessarily. Videos from different angles can make things appear differently.
Basically, it’s called emotions. They are unpredictable, hence, not controllable.
Just look at what’s coming out in the last hour of the woman that was shot in Minneapolis, turns out her and her wife were sitting there in their cars taunting ICE along their route. She was an agitator, both her and her wife not to say she should have been shot and killed but FAFO.
I saw the video of the officer drawing his weapon and firing at the woman as she accelerated toward him and she actually did hit him.
Haven’t all of you seen the video?
What is the controversy here?
Maybe the lefty networks aren’t showing it?
Because almost everything the main stream media reports is a lie designed to skew people’s thinking in their preferred direction.
Therefore some of the population believes it all and jumps to a conclusion based on that reporting, and another part of the population believes none of it and is left to draw their own conclusion knowing they are always lied to.
As a function of this, America has become a bad marriage on a large scale.
However neither group can afford a divorce.
Because lots and lots of people react according to their emotions and feelings, and not according to logic and reason.
