I was admonished to look at facts. At this point the headline “SUV driver is chased and beaten after running over motorcyclist”, while sensational, is more factual than any presumption of guilt or innocence.[/quote]
That implies Lien instigated the chain of event by running over the motorcyclist.
That is simply not true nor impartial.
if you want a headline that’s absolutely impartial and gets to the heart of the problem, it would be:
“Full blown melee between SUV and biker gang in broad daylight in middle of NYC, police presence completely absent.”[/quote]
Better still: heated road incident between motorcycles and SUV leads to injuries. That avoids the use of “gangs” or blaming the police.[/quote]
Even better: something happened, maybe.
The tires on the SUV were slashed during the first stop. The driver decided to try to run away after that. What was he supposed to do at that point?
