One of my favorite passages, that I’ve used many times is the real vs the really real.
A cop comes upon a known scourge on the streets who has been shot. The “real” is he does chest compressions to save him. The really real is he is pumping the heart so the POS bleeds out faster.
I lived in California many years ago.
I remember back in the 1990’s when a gang banger killed another gang banger, the LAPD cops would call it an NHI killing.
NHI = No Human Involved.
