I genuinely don't understand this 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!
