Good Job Media. Slow Clap to You.

According to FoxNews, Mississippi faces a brand new murder case. Sadly, this one involves police officers being killed. After the two officers were shot at what appeared to be a "routine" traffic stop, a state-wide search went into effect. During the search for the fugitives, three criminals were arrested for the murder itself and one was arrested as an accessory to the murder. Not only did the individuals who shot the officers murder them, slapping on a second degree capitol murder charge, but one of the criminals actually fled the scene in one of the officer's patrol cars, adding on grand theft auto, as well. Not to mention the counts of illegal possession of a firearm. The officers passed away at a hospital later due to the injuries sustained from the gunshots. These were the first deaths for the Hattiesburg police department in approximately 30 years. Many officers and other individuals were hit especially hard by this shooting, as some had even gone to high school with one of the officers by the name of Benjamin Deen. As of now (5/11/2015), the weapon(s) used have not been found and/or retrieved. However, two of the individuals, Marvin Banks and Joanie Calloway, were found and arrested at a hotel and a convenience store, respectively. I would just like to give a sarcastic "Good job media." I cannot help but think that this attack was in response to the large amount of negative light that has been shined on the police force in the media as of late. All the media seems to do anymore is talk about celebrities no one really cares about, make firearms look like terrible killing machines when they are really just tools to protect one's self, and make police officers look like racist and brutal murderers when most officers in the force are good people. The media only makes the world a more paranoid place and the media needs to realize that their stories affect more than just the money going into their wallets.

A word to the media directly: There is more to this world than money.
