Hmm, very interesting. You used all the words, used two different current events and combined them into one story about the fate of the country. Too bad you were limited in words. Well done.

This story is one that needs to be told -- we have got to stop "blaming" and begin learning what it is to be accepting of differences in people. Good job.

Comment from Bill Schott
This story and comments are examples of how we feel our media is quick to point a finger at overworked and underfunded police as opposed to what happens when a criminal gets himself shot. Most people can see TGIF plain truth of all this.

Comment from sibhus
A well written piece of contemporary fiction, though tomorrow it could be front page news. You have done a good job of capturing todays events in this short piece while incorporating the required words very. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from justafan
Well written entry. It was a sad day. Why is it that the taking of a life has become a political statement?
Horrible.
I agree with you that "all lives matter".
Good luck in the contest.
Always justafan,

Comment from judiverse
So true. You managed to pack a lot within the limited word count. When is someone going to convince the black youth that it matters that they obey the law, and if a police officer orders you to stop, it isn't too smart to start running. We clearly see the way the propaganda has influenced this young man's action of vengeance. Sorry I don't have a six left, and it's still so early in the week! Best of luck in the contest. judi

Comment from royowen
I must admit I agree, I'm afraid no race is to blame, and they're all to blame, I'm afraid it's the human condition, and we are all subject to it, it's called taken advantage of a political situation guilty or not, truth is always the victim. Well done, great entry in the contest, good luck, blessings, Roy.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Brilliant. And daring in this age of PC policing. This sentence says it all:
The morning's headlines told the story of another young Black male murdered by White Police Officers.
The leftist media is to blame for most of the problems in this country. If they only did their job right and told the truth, told of all the blacks killed by other blacks and all the whites killed by black cops, things might be less insane. But they have control over the "truth" that we hear. THankfully the web has a lot more that they don't want us to hear, but not enough people know how to use it.... or even desire to know the truth.

Comment from Domino 2
Whatever their colour, when terrorists, murders or protesters resort to violence or murder, sympathy is usually lost for them and their cause.
Of course, just ONE individual can ruin the progress of a just cause, except amongst its most extreme supporters.
Excellently expressed.
Good luck and best wishes, Ray
