Brickbat: Too Fast for Conditions

The framing is factual and minimal, presenting a legal outcome without editorializing adjectives or emotional language. The headline uses a straightforward metaphor ('too fast for conditions') that mirrors typical police/traffic incident language rather than advocacy framing. By centering the court verdict and criminal conviction of a police officer, the piece implicitly adopts a accountability-oriented perspective, though without rhetorical amplification—typical of Reason's libertarian-inflected crime/accountability reporting that critiques institutional failures without polemical tone.
