@sfleetucker Sorry, that's still passive voice with implied "was" to save space. Active voice would say: Corrupt Cop Murdered Innocent Black Woman.
@WordNerd usually it’s “shots were fired and a bullet struck”. This time it s police killed.
@sfleetucker Sonya is the subject of the sentence. Police is the object of a removable clause within the sentence. To make it active voice, police would have to be the subject of the sentence. This headline does not say police (subject) killed (verb).
Sadly, we can only imagine a headline like that. At least it wasn't an "officer-involved shooting". 🤷

💔when will it ever end?
