here is the "yes,l agree that the sun rises in the east" disclaimer: no one should have to be shooting cops, cops shouldn't have to be shooting others (but there is a lot more to cops using deadly force)
But the way that @CBSNews @CBS8 & @nbcsandiego are covering the #ComptonShooting of LASD deputies lays bare broadcast #journalism's dependence on quick, easy content from reliable sources at the expense giving viewers a fuller context.
Context to why someone is this volatile world would shoot an LASD deputy could be explained by the suspicious death of #AndresGuardado

It fits in perfectly with the #blacklivesmatter narrative about how law enforcement uses less restraint with BIPOC than people with less melanin.
That's true in San Diego, too. This is the only local coverage that I have seen on that story.

I haven't seen any follow up about it.
LASD has grave problems within its ranks, too.

Little coverage by broadcasters has been given to the situations in S.D. jails

Maybe you could cover those instead of the batshit crazy stories and being spoon-fed half of the stories by someone wearing a badge.
