"Police shoot and kill 13 year old during early morning high speed chase"?

As it stands, the headline leaves it to you to fill in the gaps and usually, people put themselves or their kid in the position of the "13 year" and the cops in the position of the bad guy.

I've seen too many headlines that show bias now to take any at face value.
