    From the talk page. It gave me a much needed laugh.

    Paradox of engaging in speculative thought

    We at Wikipedia as a rule try to stick to explicit, verifiable facts. However, given that the government and quarters in the media that are supportive of the government are endeavoring to support a narrative that Good attempted to use her vehicle to attack an officer or officers, it is understandable that Wikipedia is going down the path of speculation.

    To wit, it is appropriate that this is entered into the text in brackets: “[disputed – discuss]” --toward the end of the paragraph, beginning with the sentence, “One agent attempted to open the door of the car and reach through the window.” Nonetheless, we need to take care to return to Wikipedia principles, be conscious of the risk of going down this path and be aware that we are seemingly going down this path.

    It’s usually more effective to just say what you mean.
