(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by describing the death of Police Officer Jonathan Diller as a 'horrible tragedy'. This statement is not supported by any evidence and could be seen as an attempt to manipulate emotions rather than provide factual information. Secondly, the article quotes former President Donald Trump calling for a crackdown on violent crime without mentioning specific policies. This statement is misleading because it implies that Mr. Trump has a clear plan for reducing crime when in reality he has not provided any details about how he would achieve this goal. Lastly, the author uses selective reporting by focusing solely on Mr. Trump's attendance at the wake and his message on crime without providing any context or background information about the officer's death or the broader issue of police brutality.

The video shows the fatal shooting of NYPD cop Jonathan Diller during a routine car stop in Far Rockaway, Queens.
Guy Rivera is accused of hitting Diller with one shot that hit him in the abdomen beneath his bullet-resistant vest while Lindy Jones allegedly fired two shots at Rivera, striking him in the back.
