More Media Tight Focus On Details


NBC had this lovely headline: Family of Mexican father fatally shot by ICE near Chicago 'wants justice to be done' 

Get down far enough in the article, and you see that justice, in fact, was done. But it takes quite some time, as NBC buried the facts either deliberately or in an act of journalistic malpractice.  

And NBC posted this bit on Facebook on the same article: 

  
 
Per the family and MBC, how this illegal died is such a complete mystery that needs answers: 
Nearly a week after a Mexican immigrant was fatally shot by an immigration officer during a traffic stop in the Chicago area, his family in Mexico and community members continue to seek answers as they call for more transparency in the probe looking into the sequence of events surrounding his death.
Only when you get 10 paragraphs, and about two full screen scrolls down the article, do you find out what occurred and why he got fatally shot: 
According to ICE, two officers pulled Villegas González over, but he resisted arrest and attempted to flee the scene.

Yep, it's the whole resisting arrest decision by a criminal leading to things going pear-shaped.

 But wait, there's more, a lot more:

Surveillance footage from a nearby nail salon broadcast by a local CBS News TV station shows an SUV blocking Villegas González's car. Two ICE agents are seen by Villegas González’s car, one on the passenger side and the other on the driver's side. Villegas González starts backing up. As he drives his car forward, the ICE officer standing by the passenger side attempts to go after Villegas González; the other officer is not visible in the video anymore.

One ICE officer "was hit by the car and dragged a significant distance," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, which added the officer "sustained multiple injuries and is in stable condition."
Oh, it was that kind of resisting arrest, where you drag an officer with your car and then get shot.  

"Fearing for his own life, the officer fired his weapon," striking Villegas González, DHS stated.

Surveillance footage from a nearby auto shop captured the sounds of at least two gun shots.

A video from a witness shows the two ICE officers removing an injured Villegas González from his car after he crashed into a cargo truck. A video from the cargo truck driver obtained by Telemundo Chicago shows both ICE officers providing first aid to Villegas González.

According to ICE, both Villegas González and the injured officer were taken to a hospital. Villegas González died of multiple gunshot wounds at the hospital. The ICE agent, who has not yet been named, was released from the hospital after receiving care for back injuries, lacerations to the hand and knee tears.
Yep, it is just a complete mystery, at least to NBC, leftists, and his family as to why he was shot.
 
To the rest of the world, not so much, really.
