A more appropriate headline:
An ICE [fascist paramilitary] fired at an SUV fleeing [an unmarked] car stop in Pennsylvania. That’s not how it should happen, policing experts say [because it endangers everyone]
Thanks. I’m glad that the recognition of passive language titles is becoming more obvious to everyone. I’m seeing comments, like yours, calling it out more often.
After nearly 3 years of genocide in Gaza I was going mad watching people being accepting of the “Israeli citizen kidnapped from tank” style language.
This headline isn’t passive voice, though. Passive voice would be “SUV fired at by ICE”. “ICE fired at SUV” is active voice.
Sure. But you’re speaking specifically about grammar. I guess I am speaking more generally about the use of passive language not nessacarily “passive voice”.
The action of violence is placed on the object instead of the person/people. It’s not necessarily about strictly passive voice but removing humanity from the victims of the violent actions.
“ICE fired at innocents fleeing in SUV” is more appropriate. It makes it clear that the intent is to cause harm to the victims. The title infers there is possibly some reason to fire shots at a moving vehicle that could be justified in the scenario. Which there wasn’t.
Police says you shouldn’t do, does bot say it was illegal. Police just mad it was on video
You should be free to flee when guns are pointed at you without warning
You should be able to return fire.
When they aren’t providing identification, any asshole with a Amazon account can cosplay as ICE.
I’m more for “stand your ground” and shoot back when it comes to ICE.
Glad we have “police experts” to tell us that we aren’t supposed to be getting shot in the back by police.
By masked unidentifiable people in unmarked cars
Still missing the point, focusing on “They didn’t block him good enough”
How is one to discern this isn’t an attempted car jacking? And how else would one respond when a couple of random cars try to box you in and some jackhole comes up and immediately breaks your window while screaming at you?
Goddamn right I’m going to flee!
Earth is sphere-ish so by driving away, they were also moving toward the ICE agents and putting them in fear for their lives. Won’t play well with the flat Earth segment of the base but you can jingle keys somewhere else to distract them.
Policing amateurs also say this
All sane people say this
Even some insane people say it.
This is what happens when you hire a bunch of unstable racist neo-Nazis.
that’s how they do it on tv, which is the only education and/or training these knuckle draggers ever got
Happened an hour away, ACAB
Sigh…
