Funny how “fatally shot” takes the sting out of “gunned down” or “killed”.
“Murdered Two Innocent People.” Allegedly. But also actually.
And it’s so easy to get around that too. Just say “the Police killed a woman…” That is an absolute fact. Not saying murder which is a crime that they haven’t yet been found guilty of.
Died due to complications around a lead allergy. Yea, journalists are super bad about passive headlines around the roving police gangs murdering folks. Reform begins with using appropriate language.
“heavy metal poisoning”
“Haemorrhagic issue” (i.e. bled to death on the kerb)
They take your life in the street, then they take your humanity at the press conference.
Agreed. Too ambiguous. Plus the photo makes it seem like she lived! WTF
