A woman died in Ohio this week after exposure to teargas; her respiratory system stopped functioning despite not having asthma before.
Officially the use of rubber batons (bullets in common parlance) in Northern Ireland killed 17 people; although one would be wise in doubting the veracity of English reports on English behavior in Northern Ireland.

This passive voice enrages me, it is more appropriate to say the police murdered a woman with tear gas. There were people with agency who actively made decisions which directly caused this woman's death.
I didn't mean to direct that rant at you specifically, I've just seen a lot of usage of the passive voice lately that serves to decouple police actions and their consequences.

These tools are quite dangerous.
