Why do all headline and legal documents allow the use of “failed” when it is in fact “refused”.

Criminals do not “Fail” to drop the gun, they “refused the order” to drop the gun. Mamdamny did NOT condemn means he approved. things are often black or white, yes or no, hot or cold... Creation of grey areas where folks desire to insert their truth contextually instead of FACTS.

Let your yea be yea and your nay be nay.... every thing else is offering haven for lying and sinful, wicked behavior and words.

Article titles are deliberately deceptive. Most times after you read the article, there's nothing actually in it related to the claims in the title. It always seems like the media wants to portray bad people in a good light, and many times as victims.

One term that I loathe is when they say someone who deliberately used or took illegal drugs "accidentally overdosed." You don't "accidentally" use drugs. It's a deliberate act. Any time anyone snorts, ingests, or injects drugs into theirselves could result in an overdose. It isn't an accident.
