Local media may be taking baby steps in the direction of veracity. CBS Cincinnati affiliate WKRC-TV managed to get through this story without once referring to a guy calling himself Nina Devillez as “her.” They managed this by avoiding pronouns altogether:

An Indiana resident allegedly pulled an object that appeared to be a sword on an officer before stealing a police cruiser and fleeing into Kentucky. …

No wonder the UK has decided to make itself safe from the mayhem it has been importing from the Third World by banning ninja swords.

The incident started when officers attempted a traffic stop in Chandler, north of Evansville. The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Nina Devillez, was confronted by officers and shots were fired. Devillez then stole a police cruiser, leading to a high-speed chase.

Guys who call themselves “Nina” can be expected to behave a little eccentrically.

It will surprise no one that Nina had been previously arrested, then unleashed on the public:

Devillez was facing an attempted murder case in Lawrence County, Indiana, and was out on bond at the time of the incident.

The video report accompanying the story actually admits that Nina is a he. In contrast, Fort Wayne’s 21Alive lies to our faces by calling him “she”:

Please welcome Mr. Devillez to the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors.
