McCall was methodical as he observed a blood trail going down the stairs as if Jamarion’s body was dragged down the steps after being shot(emphasis mine), so why are we saying this as fact?

There are conflicting reports about whether he was shot 59 times or 76 times. Most sources seem to report the number 76. But according to the medical report, while there were 76 wounds, 59 of them were entry wounds and the other 17 were exit wounds: "The medical report for Robinson lists 76 bullet wounds – 59 of those wounds are believed to be where bullets entered his body, 17 mark where they exited." [1] I believe that accounts for the difference – one shot can produce both an entry wound and an exit wound, so I believe the official number of times he was shot is 59, although the number of wounds is 76. Of course, when someone has been shot that many times, it is probably difficult to establish an exact count – some shots may go through the same wounds. But 59 seems like the correct number to report.

There is at least one source that is cited in the article that says the officers were serving a " no-knock warrant". However, most of the other cited sources do not say this. On the contrary, one of them says "When the team knocked on his girlfriend's door and Robinson failed to answer, they broke down the door and entered, firing submachine guns and pistols," and another one says that according to a lawsuit filing, it "was supposed to be a knock warrant operation". I have therefore removed the mention of it being a no-knock warrant. — BarrelProof ( talk) 18:45, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
