Cleared

I have to add this as a footnote to my previous post. It really is amazing how frequently the words ‘police’ and ‘cleared’ appear next to each other in a news headline. Do a Google News search. Surely this mysterious phenomenon is begging for some serious scientific research to provide an explanation.

Just today we have:

Police cleared in Forest Gate shooting

Police cleared over death in custody

And a couple of weeks back:

Officers cleared in tube shooting

I confidently expect the future Korea Herald headline:

Police cleared of any wrongdoing in death of Posco protester
