    The fact that he was a SovCit idiot prompted him to shoot at the cops. It’s relevant background.

      Except they dont say “gunfire exchange” so the headline def means to slant towards sovcit being the victim

        You have to read more than the headline:

        “After stepping out of his vehicle, the man, armed with a pistol, began shooting at deputies. They exchanged gunfire and the man was shot dead. No deputies were injured during the exchange, Gonzalez said.”

          Im just commenting on the clickbait and slanted headline and its intended effects.

          I did read the article and thats how I came to see the slant, and why I chose to comment on it.

        the headline def means to slant towards sovcit being the victim

        Or lazily slanting towards “ACAB”.
