Author: Joe Sutton
Summary:
A 6-year-old boy was shot to death in the front seat of his father's vehicle while he was buckled. The shooting happened on a dead-end street and it is unclear why officers pursued or why shots were fired. Investigators say there were no outstanding warrants against the father and the child’s father wasn't armed. The child was hit by five bullets in the head and chest which was all filmed on police body cameras. The footage was considered to be “most disturbing thing ever seen”. Both officers were charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.
Democratic Value:
Common Good- the common good is general safety, security, and welfare. This case goes against the common good of general safety, security, and welfare because an innocent child was killed and his father was injured for no reason.
Bias:
There was little to no bias in the article. The article just gave information about the incident and stated facts surrounding what happened. We didn't feel as though it author took a side of wether the shooting was justified or unjustified, the author just explained the information. This article was written to tell people what was going on and provide them with information.
Victim of the shooting
Amelia Damboise & Mikayla Clifford
