Ugh, and journalists often slip into cop dialect in their articles. It's disgustingly propagandic.

Notice that cops never kill or shoot someone, even in situations where they're blatantly in the wrong. It's always, "service weapon was discharged" or "subject was fired upon." Make sure to throw a couple "proceeded to's" in there for good measure.
