I'll help the reporter out. "Three scumsucking thugs use rifle to kill officer. Officers should be issued rifles and shotguns on patrol."

Au contraire, mon frère. It takes two to tango, editor and writer. The editor represents the best interests of the newspaper, which are obviously to print misleading, sensationalist stories with no basis in logic. We know the gun, didn't kill, you know it, I'm even willing to bet that the reporter knows it, too, but they're planting trash in the minds of impressionable readers.
