    Gdism I hate the passive voice here

    How about::

    Officer arrested for r*ping 13 month old child

    I’m surprised it’s not MORE passive.

    Child suffered injuries in possible officer involved….

    Fsck this POS

        Yes.

        Thank you; you are correct

        I’m annoyed that news editors use the passive voice when ever there is anything involving an officer.

        It is rarely “ suspect shot by police “ And usually “ officer involved shooting “

        And to be certain. I do want him to have a truly fair trial.
