Fuck this headline. Even looking at the pure facts, it should read “State police investigate after after officer kills good samaritan that was helping shooting victim”

that’s what happened. the text in the article says that and supports that. Yet news media can’t help themselves and have to be as obscure as they possibly can with their language whenever the truth would paint the police in a bad light.

Yeah, the headlines are often the worst and divorced from the reality of what was reported.

The media will do anything to protect the cops because they fear losing access to the (usually misleading or blatantly false) information those cops provide them about developing stories.
