    I know it’s just standard boilerplate language for describing what happened in the most neutral tone possible, but

    During the encounter, a Columbus police officer discharged their duty weapon, striking the subject. Another officer deployed a taser during the incident.

    feels gross to read. I know that “motherfucker shot the kid, and the other motherfucker tased him” isn’t exactly neutral, but I think it expresses what happened more honestly.
