    “One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver,” the statement said. “The vehicle then traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle.”

      “One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver,”

      I always lose my shit when I see this passive, tertiary phrasing every media outlet uses to describe cops murdering people.

      "The man tried to flee the scene, so the officer decided to kill him" doesn't quite sound so nice because people might start to believe that it's excessive force.

        Schrodinger's gun too. They're used with intent to kill, yet pigs are not intending to kill when they use them.

      Weird they didn't write "A firearm was discharged"
