SUMMARY:
This news, written by Nicole Hensley and published last Saturday six of
May, is about 15-years-old boy, who was killed by police in Sant Diego.
The
reporter explains that the boy held a BB gun outside his school after calling
991 to get a welfare check. Lieutenant Mike Holden stated in a communiqué that
when the police arrived, the boy held the gun and refused to release it, as he
approached the police. The police saw their lives in danger and fired several
times at the boy. The teenager was taken to the hospital but didn’t survive. Police
declined that he was a student at the suburban Carmel Valley school and lived
in the neighborhood.
The
police identified the gun of the boy: a semiautomatic BB airgun, but they
havn't revealed the name of the tenageer. The cops were a 28-year veteran and
another police officer who had been in the department for four years, Holden
said. San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent, Eric Dill, also
sent a word to the the family and friends of the boy.
MY OPINION:
First
of all, I would like to explain why I chose this news.
Therefore, in English class we have been working on human rights and I believe
that in this news violates one of the most important fundamental rights: the
right to live.
From my
point of view, although the child carried a weapon and was a danger, I consider
that the case could have been treated differently without the need to kill
anyone. In my opinion, could have acted differently and disarm the child to be
able to find the reasons why he was in that state with the gun.
I want to point out that
it is true that the child was a danger but I consider that there were other
ways to solve the problem.
WORD I DIDN'T KNOW.
