10. Bullshit.

The couple said it was only after his gun was drawn that the man told onlookers he was a police officer.

When her husband returned from getting an item they forgot, he described the situation he encountered as “a guy in her face, yelling at her.”

If I walked up to a guy who was "in my wife's face, yelling at her," I'd push the LIVING FUCK out of him. He didn't identify himself. She wasn't "breaking the law." He crossed a line. FUCK him.

The headline is not "misleading" and it sure as fuck is NOT "an outright lie."
