4. Post-Mortem Notes
KNOWN ISSUE:System continues to exhibit a disconnect between initial official reports and verifiable reality. This has been observed in previous incidents.REGRESSION:Significant decline inPublicTrustScorefollowing rapid release of potentially misleading information.WORKAROUND:Independent video footage and social media analysis currently serving as de facto primary truth source.TODO:ReviewDHS.StatementProcessor.generateInitialReport()for premature execution without sufficient evidence validation.FIXED (temporarily):Public outrage metrics are currently off the charts; system likely to self-correct via immediate public backlash.
