Let's see:
1. "Denise Ford, who said her son was one of the survivors."
"survivors" was an interesting choice of words. You can already taste the bias.

But I think tagging the end of the article really sets the tone for this steaming piece of unbiased journalism. No agenda there right?

2.In 1999, NYPD officers killed Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant who was shot 19 times in the entry to his apartment building. The four officers in that case were acquitted of criminal charges.
In 2003, Ousmane Zongo, 43, a native of the western African country of Burkina Faso, was killed during a police raid on a warehouse where he repaired art and musical instruments. Zongo was shot four times, twice in the back.

And this has what to do with anything? How is it connected other than to indict the NYPD as murderers and torturers? Why don't we make a little effort and find out what happened? Where they drunk? Were they armed? Were the cops on duty? Was this an arrest attempt? How about finding out what went on? If the two in the hospital were cuffed, then the police obviously have them in custody on a charge. What is it? Oh, wait, that would mean the reporter would have to go ask questions in person. No need for that, we already know the facts.
If the cops were wrong it will come out. If the people in the car were wrong it will come out. But which one will be on page one and which will be on page F-7?
I hate laziness and people that won't do their jobs well.
