This likely means that the knife never existed in the first place, and was made up by the cops in order to justify shooting into a crowd.

    By “recovered” the cops unironically mean the opposite of recovered - as in a non-police person has taken the knife.

    I can’t tell from just this article if I should lean more to standard cop butchering of language or intentional deception.

    EDIT: Or not? I found another article that says they retracted that statement about recovering the knife - that it was the wrong knife. That definitely doesn’t make me less suspicious…
