    Just happened to pick up a Metro on the way to work this morning and couldn’t believe that someone would use such a headline given the events of the past week! Surely there must be someone editing the thing who speaks english/reads a newspaper? :eek:

    I can see your point, but, tbh, I wouldn't have made the connection myself.

    I'm only on one cup of coffee so far. What's the faux pas? Did a cop beat someone? Or should they not be mentioning the war? :)

    a cop car ran over and killed a young man a couple of days before the story was written.

    Ah yes, I remember now. Really you'd have to be close to the store to story to find that headline in bad taste.
