Presumption of innocence

Since we haven't even heard yet about the charges against Emanuel Kidega Samson, let alone any conviction, is it proper to identify him here as the perpetrator? Legally these are allegations, and I think that they should be identified as such. Kelisi (talk) 06:25, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Washington Post reports "Police identified the shooter as Emanuel Kidega Samson". That's unequivocal. It's not like he was a suspect that was tracked down; he was nabbed at the scene. WWGB (talk) 06:34, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Washington Post doesn't decide these things, trials do. In the meantime, the official police word is as cautious as ever. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:19, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civil rights investigation

What is a civil rights investigation, and why should one be launched for this attack, but not previous church shootings? These points need to be clarified.203.80.61.102 (talk) 22:24, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Civil rights in America is particularly concerned with racial and religious freedoms, so when a crime involves mixed races and a temple, an investigation into the motive is par for the course, whether the crime involves shooting, arson or graffiti.

Is there a particular church shooting you remember not getting one? InedibleHulk (talk) 11:04, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
