Friday, September 18, 2015 a Deputy
in San Bernardino County in California shot at, and killed, a home invasion
robber. Around midday on Friday, the robber was caught fleeing the scene of a
home invasion, prompting a 100 mph car race in east LA. Five shots are reported
to be in the Grey Chevy Yukon hood, however it is unknown if the shots killed
the driver. The suspect was traveling southbound, through oncoming traffic, on
Interstate 215, endangering him and other drivers. This is what prompted the
Deputy to fire. He struck a Dodge Durango, injury three people, as he rolled
out of the car. He died close to the accident, but it isn’t clear as to how.
The author of this article isn’t
named personally, but was published by the Associated Press on September 19, 2015,
the day after the car chase. Reading the article it was difficult to gain any
feelings regarding the suspect, situation, or shooter. The writing is dull and
not at all descriptive. The author lists no opinions they have towards the
situation, and the journaling is incompetent. Who was the suspect? What was his
race? Would it have changed the connotation of the story if he had been
identified? Who exactly shot him because it’s unclear in the article? It seems
that the author simply wanted to state an event, not inform the readers about who,
why, when, how, and if it affects anything.
I agree with your analysis on the subject because it is hard to determine who is in the wrong when there isn't enough information being let out and no one can identify what even really happened.
