Relevant Matter Discussed in Class #1

Relevant Matter Discussed in Class #1

Now, I'm not exactly sure what to write about here. Am I supposed to talk about different media binaries? Perhaps, mass communication? Or, even more exciting, (not sarcasm, I am really just a journalism nerd) demassification?
I think a lot of matters are relevant.
What I'd like to write about, in all honesty, is news. Crimes, hurricanes, Kavanaugh. Take your pick, the options are endless. I think that a man getting shot in his own apartment is a relevant matter, and we did, indeed, discuss it in class; so, th at's what I'm going to write about here.

Botham Jean, a 26-year-old man residing within his apartment, was fatally shot by a policewoman who thought Jean's flat was her own-- or claims that she did-- September sixth at around 10 P.M. This case is very obviously unusual in that Botham Jean was in his home when Amber Guyger allegedly fumbled with her keys and her two bags from the store when Botham Jean opened his door and she shot him. How on earth could she make a mistake as grave as this one?
Guyger's story is flawed. She claims to have been certain that the apartment was her own when Jean had a very distinct red welcome mat in front of his door. In response to this, she claimed to have not seen the mat because of the two shopping bags she was carrying. How, then, did she manage to try and jam her key in the lock and fiddle with it enough with two bags; and how, after seeing the key did not work, did she not look down or take her surroundings into account and realize, 'Wait, this isn't my apartment!'?
With Jean's side of the story lost with his life, the police searched his house. They found marijuana. But, how is this relevant? The answer is, it's not. It's not relevant to his murder at all.
The public and Jean's mother are outraged with the fact that Guyger has not been terminated from her job, rather, placed on administrative leave.
The case continues to unwind as Guyger changes stories. Where it ends up, time will only tell.
