A video on social media shows the officer pepper-spraying the woman in the face, turning and then walking away.

    You’re a big fan of the “more accurate headline” shtick, huh?

      Yes, I think we should be accurate in our words and we should not be afraid to say what things are.

      I would editorialize the post headline if that was allowed in this community.

        Editorizing generally makes things less accurate. I assume you dislike it when a far right publication editorializes a headline, yes?

          There is no such thing as objective journalism.

          I would prefer journalists write what they actually think and feel then to try to hide behind creative word choice to influence readers.

          I wouldn’t say Epstein had sex with underage women, I would say he raped children.

            Hey, farm all the fake internet points you want. It seems silly bordering on infantile to me, but what do I know? Maybe throw in some extra “slams” for good measure haha.

                  Points aren’t a thing here, an plenty of instances make down voting not possible, further making any points worthless. At you not also farming by commenting?

                    I’m pretty sure all my comments on this thread are negative. Is that what you would call “farming”? Haha

              I don’t think it’s silly to share the news of the crimes of a fascist regime.

              I don’t think it is infantile to call things by the words they actually are.

              I will continue to do this, I dont need your approval.

                I agree with your first and last sentences, but that second one is iffy. In the example above, you’re kind of making stuff up to suit your narrative in some of your edits. “As they actually are” is overselling some of it. It would be like changing “School encourages students to stay hydrated” to “Government education facility pressures children to consume dihydrogen monoxide”. It’s not strictly wrong, but it’s also a worse title than the original, and arguably misleading.

                Do you see what I mean?

                  You are not worth debating. I bet you didn’t even read the article I posted.

                  You are just going on about how I shouldn’t make a comment about what I think is happening in the format of a headline.

                  I’ve added a tag to your name to remind me not to take you seriously as anything more than a troll. Have a day.

      It’s validated because the media constantly softballs the headlines whenever the government abuses its authority.
