Who's ready for even more burn loot murder?

If anyone can find the guys outstanding warrant info, that'd be good. It's been memory holed hard, and I can't find it

Brooklyn Center police said officers pulled over a driver — whom they said had an outstanding arrest warrant — just before 2 p.m. on the 6300 block of Orchard Avenue. As officers were trying to arrest the driver, police say they tried to get back inside their vehicle. An officer then shot the driver, who then drove a couple blocks more before hitting another vehicle in the area of 63rd Avenue North and Kathrene Drive. No one in that second vehicle was hurt.

police say they tried to get back inside their vehicle

And this is why “they” is awful as a pronoun. I take this to mean that the suspect tried to get back in his (or their) vehicle. But it could mean that the police officers tried to get back into their vehicle.

I mean, it’s really not that hard to figure out with context clues

There have been major court cases, multi-multi-million dollars, over the use of the oxford comma, or lack thereof, in contracts.

Context clues are great, but clear writing is even better.

This isn’t a court case. It’s a news story about the police shooting someone.

Why would the police try to arrest a guy, then randomly try to get back to their squad car, then randomly shoot the guy? Did you think they had one foot in the door then decided to pop one off from thirty feet away?
