[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Shocking video shows the moment that 17-year-old Erik Cantu was shot multiple times by a police officer in San Antonio on Sunday night

  • Cantu was sitting in his car eating a cheeseburger outside of McDonald's alongside a female companion when Officer James Brennand approached the car and told him to get out

  • As the pair struggled, Brennand fired his weapon five times, wounding Cantu

  • Prior to the release of the bodycam footage of the shooting, the officer maintained he only fired his weapon after he was hit by Cantu's car

  • On Wednesday, Brennand, a probationary officer who was on the job for seven months, was fired from the San Antonio Police Department

  • At the time of writing, Cantu is listed as being critical but stable condition

#4  There was a sidebar discussion about article titles and how they might be considered copyrighted with the subject content, ergo should be presented pristine as the source intended.

Modified titles redirecting to the original were consider non-threatening as a 'redirect' has fallen common into the web lexicon.

The DM titles are lengthy and sensational but in 2-3 sentences generally encapsulate the subject matter content so that a reader may choose a deeper survey, or not.

Misleading clickbait title.
Clickbait? Seems to have worked for you.

#3  It looks like both parties have watched entirely too many Shoot’em’up cop shows, which developed poor instincts.

What was a young policeman still on probation doing out without a training partner? At least he caught up and performed CPR until the ambulance arrived.
