We love the passive voice, when a cop kills somebody, they were actually just "hit by gunfire"

This means the cops were responsible for half the casualities. Cool. Great job, guys

Looks like the cops shot another person, as well, Yoni Finlay. So two people were killed, and three people are in the hospital, meaning that the police are responsible for half of the deaths and a third of the hospitalisation. The cops better pray he makes it because killing more people than the terrorist, while trying to stop said terrorist, is embarrassing.

They shot two victims, one of which was killed. They were shot through a door they were sheltering behind. It's not only the flags, we're being Americanised lads.

It was really weird reading about a gun being used, I thought the main reason the British police doesn't use guns is for this reason.

Ngl hearing "gun" and a location in the UK definitely makes me do a double take.

Here in the States it was reported that they were hit "in the crossfire," even though the attacker didn't have a gun. And that was from NPR, which is usually better about that sort of passive voice, bootlicking bullshit.

one of those injured was also hit by police. 2 out the 5 victims were hit by police gunfire.

Never fire in mixed traffic. Ever. In certain parts of the world, a 10 year old can say this. Makes one worry about the standards of trained officials

If the only reason they knew a cop killed him was because the suspect only had a knife... what percentage of shooting victims have been killed by cops and were just assumed to be killed by the "bad guy"?

The passive voice is doing some WORK in that sentence.
