That's a lot of trust...

Not really. More like common sense.
This reminds me in one way of the Rodney King video.
Egregiously irresponsible mainstream media released a video of what appears as OBVIOUS and way over the top police brutality. How could it be anything else? The video shows a group of cops clearly beating the bejesus out of an unarmed man lying on the ground.
But hold on...several YEARS later a copy of an unedited video, also (and most important) showing several crucial minutes BEFORE the cops beating on the guy...and what do we see...why it shows a very large male fighting 3 police officers...and winning. He throws one cop in the air, he shoves another knocking two other cops down.
But alas, the MSM systematically did not show this...and a very bad riot that resulted in multiple fatalities is what happened because of it. They should be in jail with Rodney.

In this video we cannot see:

1) What happened before the attack.
2) What else is happening around the attack.
3) What intelligence, if any, led the Apache to observe them.
4) etc. etc.

And just like the R. King video...it is irresponsible to make judgement calls without knowing these things.
