A comment on Stanford's “Elimination of Harmful Language” Initiative. Parent comment
In the olden days, a news report would say "A suspect was fatally shot by a police officer."
Now, they'll only say "A suspect was fatally injured during an officer-involved shooting."
Which is like, yeah no kidding the officer was "involved" -- he pulled the trigger!
