Definition of the day. Ambush.

5. I agree.

The death of a man is the important part of the story. So why is it necessary to increase the visceral revulsion about this event by mischaracterizing it in such a way? Is it not enough to say an officer lost his life in a shootout in the early morning hours? Why must we throw in deceptive terms to make it an even greater tragedy?

I feel sorrow for the loss of live. I feel disappointment at the blatant manipulation of normal human feelings by the statements of the department categorizing the loss of life. I dislike having people try and manipulate me.
