I think it's the whole "Flashing/Pointing/shooting a gun at cops." thing that's used to "justify" the shooting. The other stuff is the typical "Who was Kenneth Harding?" type of information that the media generally presents when someone becomes relevant to them.The Prime Minister;2988429 said:In the case of the murdered pregnant chick, dude was only wanted as a person of interest. For all we know he didn't even do that shit, but decided to run because he knows who did. We don't know. Read the article, and pay attention to how the article is written. The cops had NO IDEA who this cat was until AFTER they killed him. What's also very disgusting about this is that's it's totally a smear campaign on a dead dude.
So clearly a cover up...
sboogie;2988543 it is unethical for PUBLIC SERVANTS to turn their backs on a dying citizen...[/QUOTE said:technically, they didnt turn their backs on him, they watched him die

Like when a poster here named "Busayo" got ethered to death, most of the stories presented him as a "dedicated engineering student", even though that likely played no role in his getting shot up in his driveway.
It's all about having some background information to go along with the story.
It's not a comparison, it's substantiation that the media typically includes background information with their stories; even if the background information did not play a role in the circumstances that made the story a "story" to begin with.Hyde Parke;2988648 said:thats not a fair comparison, Busayo did not get shot up by police ossifers.

The alternative would be stories like, "Some guy named 'Busayo' got shot in his driveway -- the end." or "Some guy named 'Kenneth Harding' got shot by police -- the end.", with no further information on the people shot.
The two factors (in addition to relevance) that determine whether something is included as background information are probably what's readily available and what best sets them apart from other people.Hyde Parke;2988713 said:Not so sure about that, typically if the subject has a criminal background, that information takes precedence over anything else. as demonstrated in this story.Im sure there were many other aspects to this guy's life that were intentionally omitted.

Shit like criminal records and college info are pretty easily obtained. And information like "Kenneth Harding's favorite food was shrimp fettuccine alfredo." or "Busayo stubbed his toe once when he was 17.", wouldn't really answer the typical "Who was Kenneth Harding?"or "Who was Busayo?" type question.
So, in a story about crime, it makes sense that easily-obtainable, crime-related background information--that distinguishes someone from a non-criminal--would be presented.
