The Headline You Never See
“An Angry Man Is Met by a Smart, Experienced Police Team”
But this headline is real. And it’s not from the Onion.
It’s from the New York Times. The story is by Al Baker. I did not know, as his bio says, that he’s the son of a police officer. Maybe that’s why his stories are generally more nuanced and intelligent than your average reporter’s.

I am STUNNED! How did that get past the editors?
Editors write the headlines, not the authors. Maybe we've uncovered part of a greater conspiracy!

Yeah, right. No doubt they all got together afterward to eat pasta and cannolis and sing Louis Prima songs.
A good ending but I would never just take fire without shooting unless there were civilians/hostages involved.
