    • During the fight, multiple shots were fired at around 8:45 p.m.
    • At least one person was taken into custody for assaulting an officer during the chaos.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position of violence at the Oakland Juneteenth celebration. The author does not provide any context or information about potential causes for the violence or alternative perspectives. Additionally, there are emotional manipulations in quotes from Tamia Robinson and her criticism of police response.
    • Multiple shots rang out during a fight down the street from the sideshow.
    • An Oakland Juneteenth celebration at Lake Merritt ended in violence Wednesday night.
    • Participants in the celebration were seen getting verbal with police. Some people at the event criticized the police response, saying they didn’t respond quickly enough when people were injured.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The author makes an appeal to emotion when quoting Tamia Robinson's statement 'It's a shame we can’t even get together as a community and enjoy each other, celebrate each other. Celebrate our ancestors without somebody being killed.' This is an informal fallacy as it attempts to elicit an emotional response from the reader rather than presenting factual information.
    • It's a shame we can’t even get together as a community and enjoy each other, celebrate each other. Celebrate our ancestors without somebody being killed.
  • Bias (80%)
    The author uses language that depicts the crowd as chaotic and confrontational, and some people at the event are quoted as criticizing the police response. This suggests a bias against the police.
    • 'During that fight multiple shots rang out,' said Paul Chambers, OPD’s strategic communications manager.
      • 'Participants in the celebration were seen getting verbal with police.'
