Brickbat: Partners in Crime

This brief Reason article uses measured, factual language ('will be sentenced') without inflammatory rhetoric, yet the framing—highlighting police misconduct in a section called 'Brickbat' (a criticism column)—reflects libertarian skepticism of state authority. The headline's alliterative wordplay ('Partners in Crime') suggests editorial criticism of police conduct, positioning law enforcement as wrongdoing rather than law-enforcement. No charged language or advocacy tone, but the selection and minimal context reflect a perspective critical of institutional power.
