Analysis:
This article was written by Holly Yan, and uploaded at 7:15 PM Mon December 3, 2018.The shooting took place on thanksgiving but is still yet to be clear. Their are still many question surrounding his death and it almost seem that authors are trying to cover up the story by finding the "shooter."This reminds me of the Treyvon Martin shooting because somehow someway police can not recognize innocent bystanders. As a police officier they teach you these things but people are still ending up dead. Rather shoot in the chest or back the impact their death brings are the same message of rascism , misjudgement, or discrimination. The article takes a side to which believes the incident was ridiculous because in the article they mention the police while not be releasing the body cam footage. This important because nowadays it doesnt matter if your in the right place orwhere your suppose to be because your life can be taken in an instant for your appearance.

    Part of me doesn't blame the police for shooting at this person, because if there is a crime taking place, you don't join it... you walk the other directions. So naturally if the police saw someone with a gun, at a crime scene, they would most likely shoot the "suspect." But it is also sad that the police just shoot without double checking or thinking, because it is not fair to end an innocents' life in the blink of an eye.

    I did my current event over this also and this just goes to show in my opinion that police need to be trained harsher to eliminate the situation at hand and not cause another one. I know humans aren’t perfect but this is happening too often.
