I see little relevance of this to HN. That said, the opening line stands out:<p>> A Dallas officer fatally shot a 26-year-old man Thursday night<p>This is a departure from the way this is usually written up these days, which would be: "A 25-year-old Dallas man died as a result of an <i>officer-involved shooting</i>."<p>This manipulation of language infuriates me to no end. The officer was not just "involved" in a shooting -- the officer did the shooting! This choice of words is not an accident. Law Enforcement has somehow convinced the press to use language that removes the direct causality (and therefore, the responsibility / culpability) of the shooting.<p>Longer articles on this phenomenon:<p><a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/craig-martin/time-to-kill-the-term-off_b_7428072.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.huffingtonpost.com/craig-martin/time-to-kill-the...</a><p><a href="http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/09/02/stop-saying-officer-involved-shootings/" rel="nofollow">http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/09/02/stop-saying-office...</a><p><a href="https://news.vice.com/article/some-nypd-officer-involved-shooting-narratives-just-dont-fly" rel="nofollow">https://news.vice.com/article/some-nypd-officer-involved-sho...</a>
Seems like justice would be a manslaughter conviction plus the loss of her job due to the felony and/or a determination that she doesn't have the judgement to wield a gun. Along with whatever recompense to the family that a civil judgement can extract from her.
