“One-Year-Old Boy Killed After Officer Fires at Vehicle in Mississippi,” said the New York Times headline (6/16/26). So, a “one-year-old boy”—what most people would call a baby—was “killed after” a police officer fired at a vehicle, but there’s no verb you could use to connect those two things?
It’s never been about “protecting the public” unless that public consists of old rich white people and/or land/people owners. Always been a class war. Always will be a class war.
