Blog-Writing Prompt #5

Pick a news story that you've read this week or last week in your Reading Period , and comment on the issue covered in it. How effectively was the story reported? Did it not cover any information you'd hoped it would?

If the story is availabe online, please provide a link.


The news story I've read last week during the Reading Period was of five policemen in Brazil firing their pistols at a 13 year old boy for no reason. I feel that the five policemen should receive severe punishment, as they took advantage of their rights to have a firearm for security reasons, to shoot at the civilians. THe police is supposed to protect the citizens of the country, and in this case, the police took advantage of the citizens and almost caused the young boy his life. I feel that the story is not very effectively reported as it didn't state the punishment for the irresponsible policemen.
