@RCMPNS @ChrisHalef @CAN_Femicide @NSMassCasualty @NS_Justice Hey #RCMP, rather than this ridiculous #Copspeak, you should #CallItFemicide.
“The woman’s death was a result of homicide. The investigation has determined that the man, who died as a result of self-inflicted wounds, was responsible for the woman’s death.”https://t.co/RyQR9F3RaV
Hey @CBCNS, how does a pedestrian “collide” with a bus?
The physics of this seem incomprehensible.

Again, pedestrians don’t “crash” into vehicles. And drivers, not vehicles, hit pedestrians.

@danahlstrand & @ChrisHalef #HRP are investigating a fatal vehicle pedestrian crash near the intersection of Spring Garden Rd. and South Park St. https://t.co/S1bP4BhsGW
@shaunmicallef He’s not that bright is he? #copspeak
@hinakalam Thank you Hina Alam, for the clear language and avoiding #Copspeak:
The Serious Incident Response Team, which is investigating the shooting said one of the officers used a stun gun to subdue the man, but that didn’t work. The 2nd officer shot him w. his gun, killing him. #SIRT
Be sure to add this one to your #Copaganda glossary.
The Serious Incident Response Team is investigating an incident in Shediac last week that led to the death of a 43-year-old man after an "interaction" with RCMP during a medical call.

@zwoodford ADAM JOHNSON @FAIRmediawatch: The close relationship between reporters and police is often marked by diffusion of language from the police PR team to the front page. #CopSpeak #CityNewsHalifax https://t.co/pVnV9H0Elx
@WriteLikeUTalk I didn't know you could negotiate with intersections. I am going to head to the street corner with my attorney as we speak. Hopefully, we don't need an arbitrator!
When cops call someone "an adult age male," you should say "a man."

Michaela's cop training kicking in: "Closest hospital to the DC that's not on diversion - figured the bus would come here." Bus = ambulance. On diversion = sending away ambulances because they're at capacity. #copspeak #Manifest #ManifestSpinoff
Heard on a network broadcast: "marijuana grow," where "grow" is #copspeak shorthand for "growing operation." The word is not a noun and you shouldn't be talking like a cop.
Q: What's the difference between a STABBING and a STABBING INCIDENT?
A. None. Drop the unneeded word INCIDENT.

#Tennessee again.#Guns again @Walgreens likely will say they never tell employees to follow out of store. So why did this guy? Women are told to carry protection- she had Mace some guy coming up to her & her friend. Civilian learning #copspeak #Iwasinfearofmylife #walgreens what say you? There is no death penalty for shoplifting if G.
NEW: A Nashville Walgreens employee pulled out a pistol and shot a pregnant woman he says he thought was shoplifting. Doctors performed an emergency c-section; both the woman and her baby are in critical condition. The employee is claiming self-defense.

Question: The phrase ACTIVE SHOOTER is...
1) #copspeak
2) redundant
3) broadcast news hype
4) all of the above.
Answer: 4.
Use SOMEONE SHOOTING, etc.
More #copspeak to be stricken from your copy:
HIGH RATE OF SPEED - Redundant. Just say HIGH SPEED, FAST
JUVENILE MALE - Say BOY.
EXECUTED A SEARCH WARRANT - Say SEARCHED. If unannounced, say RAIDED.
ABRASIONS, CONTUSIONS, LACERATIONS - Also known as scratches, bruises, cuts.
The worst!
Eliminate #CopSpeak
