1. When there are two conflicting versions of a story like this,
which usually proves to be the truth?

Answer: the one that is so incendiary it needs covering up.

2. On MSNBC someone from the ACE called in to Cosby and told
her the original story...so it was "deviants" and "thugs" (her words) who fired on people trying to repair the canal.

So still no FINAL story.

5. Why don't they just use the story which sounds best...
...Gunmen fired on the Contractors when NOPD tried to return fire a Helicopter loaded with Al Qaeda militants lay-ed down cover fired to retrieve the gunmen. :sarcasm:

7. The truth *will* come out
Here's my guess on what really happened:

Men walking on bridge.

Cops assumed they were citizens--uh, I mean an armed gang of thugs

Cops opened fire without cause/provocation--pre-emptive strike

Cops realized that they fucked up

Quick, they need a boogie-man

Lie, lie, lie
