    zeynep tufekci Retweeted The Associated Press

    America, 2020. George Floyd tested positive for the coronavirus. And AP still cannot use an active sentence—black people just “die” instead of getting killed even when there is a knee on their neck for nine minutes. 😢https://twitter.com/AP/status/1268361796815110145 …

    Autopsy report shows George Floyd, the handcuffed black man who died after a police officer pressed a knee against his neck for several minutes, had tested positive for the coronavirus. http://apne.ws/0bcmuoW

        “Police killed him”. That’s the missing sentence.https://twitter.com/garrett_wollman/status/1268375014618824706 …

        Um, check your grammar text. That *is* the active voice. "Be killed" is the passive.

        Also it's already been ruled a homicide in the autopsy. He was killed by the police. That's a fact. Whether he was officially murdered is a legal question that will be answered but I'm not sure why they can't at least say what is already established.

        Replying to @zeynep

        Standard J school teaching - need to treat a suspect as innocent until proven guilty, or else, in assuming someone is guilty of a felony, you've opened yourself to libel and convicted them in the press. So someone is "arrested on a burglary charge," not "arrested for burglary."

        Have you heard of "in fraganti"? The cellphone camera of a passer by caught Chauvin "in fraganti," killing Floyd. Hard to treat suspect as innocent when caught in fraganti.

        “Several minutes” also doesn’t look innocent. They know exactly how long the killer put his knee on Floyd’s neck.

        You write for The Atlantic and NY Times. They are not that different 🙂
