Weird way to say cop murders innocent person.
Yeah, it’s always interesting to see how newspapers will twist the English language to keep using passive voice with cops. It’s not “cops kill innocent” it’s “innocent killed by police’s gunfire.” Notice that in the former, it’s the cops actively killing, while in the latter it’s the victim who is listed first, then the gunfire is what is active. It’s a small bit of psychology to make the police’s actions seem more distant and removed from the situation.
Those guns just discharged themselves, didn't you know? The cops had absolutely nothing to do with it. (/s)
I'm so fucking sick of this handling cops with kid gloves bullshit.
