Original Note:
In common parlance (e.g., in a tweet) the word "killing" can be synonymous with murder. But in legal parlance, killing does not equal murder. This tweet is misleading because it conflates killing with murder w/o acknowledging the legal distinction. https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/murder https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1536-murder-definition-and-degrees#:~:text=1111%20and%201112.-,18%20U.S.C.,degree%20is%20punishable%20by%20death.
