Statement summary
William Kristol wrote that a peaceful, law-abiding man was killed while driving to work by agents of the government. He wrote that the government is "stonewalling and covering up", "refusing so far to provide any information at all about what happened Tuesday morning in Houston."
“why a peaceful and law-abiding man was killed while driving to work by agents of our government ... And it is our government that is stonewalling and covering up, refusing so far to provide any information at all about what happened Tuesday morning in Houston.”
William Kristol's section discusses Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's life, criticizes his killing and supports his sons' call for an investigation.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)Relative to the fatal use of force against Salgado Araujo, Kristol writes that a peaceful, law-abiding man was killed by agents of the government and that the government is "stonewalling and covering up". That is criticism of the killing and of the response to it. The closest competing label, Challenged the characterization, loses because the passage does not stop at disputing a description.
