1971 shooting of Dallas police officers → 1971 Dallas shooting of sheriff's deputies – Per WP:CONCISE and WP:DIFFCAPS. None of the officers directly involved in the primary incident were with the Dallas Police Department, and the Ellis County deputies were technically outside of their jurisdiction, so they were not Dallas officers in either an official or an informal sense (and were presumably accompanied by Dallas County deputies for this exact reason). Although the current title is spelled "Dallas police" rather than "Dallas Police", this is insufficiently concise to convey at a glance that no Dallas Police Department officers were involved.

 * Oppose. The proposed title is actually less concise than the current one, and I don't see how WP:DIFFCAPS applies as "1971 shooting of Dallas Police officers" does not refer to a separate event that could confuse readers. I'm not convinced that there's a problem that needs solving here. Rublov (talk) 00:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
