    This article shows how the media manipulate people:

    Headline, the bit that most people look at:

    Man 'wearing explosive belt' shot by police at Brussels Central station
    In the article, the bit it seems that most people don't look at:

    Police say they are unable to confirm media reports that the suspect was wearing an explosive belt.

          Davis get his ass kicked

          Whereas you actually mean this:

                  But they had the good sense to shoot him anyway. Fake explosive belts seem to be all the rage for the cash-strapped jihadis these days.

                    Nicolas Van Herrewegen, a railway sorting agent who was in the station as the incident unfolded, said: “I went down to the mezzanine level. Someone was shouting. Then he cried: ‘Allahu Akbar’ and he blew up a trolley.


                    “I was behind a wall when it exploded. I went down and alerted my colleagues to evacuate everyone. [The suspect] was still around but after that, we didn’t see him.

                    “It wasn’t exactly a big explosion but the impact was pretty big. People were running away.”
