A Crash Blossom for Your Morning

[gnomi]

This morning's hard-copy Boston Globe had the following headline on a story about recent violence in Dorchester (they changed the headline for the online version):

Police Bear Down After Killing

mabfan and I had a conversation about the police bear and what might have happened to make the bear so sad.

(For more on crash blossoms, see this "On Language" column or Wikipedia.)

Don't most people feel down after a killing? Either he's sad, or he feels guilty. I think that's very evolved for a bear, but I would expect no less of one with such a strong sense of public duty that he joined a human-centric police force. :)
