Deception

The article is deceptive in its omission of information about the context and nature of the video. It implies that the officer was engaging in explicit content while on duty, but does not disclose that the video was part of a sting operation by detectives to catch him soliciting bribes from sex workers. This misleads readers into believing that Herman groped a woman's breast during a traffic stop when, in fact, he was acting out a script provided by undercover officers. Additionally, the article fails to mention that Herman had been under investigation for months prior to his arrest and had numerous previous encounters with sex workers.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy and a formal fallacy. The appeal to authority is present when the article states that Herman was fired after detectives with the Specialized Investigations Divisions discovered the video and identified him while wearing his MNPD uniform. This implies that because of the detectives' findings, it must be true. Additionally, there is a formal fallacy in stating that Herman can be seen taking part in a mock traffic stop in the video when it was later revealed to be an adult film. The author presents this as fact without providing evidence or context for how they reached this conclusion.
