Comic Strip Analysis

 This satirical comic is displaying a play on words with its message “Don’t shoot!” As it’s being said by both the citizens and the cop. The Ferguson Shooting was a shot that was heard nationwide, that is of course once the media got a hold of the story. This comic is symbolizing how media is one of the most dominant cultural medium’s in our society, and the sway it has on has on how our society views everyday prevalent issues. The real world issues this comic is emphasizing is police brutality, and this ongoing movement of black lives matter. The media as shown in this comic resembles a very unemotionally attached by stander of the situation that’s happening between the cop and the citizens, while the cop and citizens are emotionally affected by the what’s going on. I think this is portraying that media is always going to display what’s going on in our society, especially since media is one of the major contributors to what makes American Pop Culture what it is today. However, it’s the people within this society that’ll ultimately judge what the reaction will be.
