Humor Argument

My humor argument is a cartoon. Because my article was found in the Houston Chronicle, that is where my humorous argument is going to appear. My topic is dashboard cameras in police cars/police corruption. Recently in Bellaire, Texas there was a situation where a police officer shot a boy in front of his house in front of his parents after they pulled him over saying his car was stolen when it was not. This was a big deal in Houston and almost everyone heard/was talking about this. In my cartoon I'm going to show a tv with the news on it about the situation with Moats and the officer and show Houston police watching it. The news is going to have a caption that says "Officer Powell may lose his job with Dallas Police Department" and then show the Houston police officer saying, "if he gets fired, maybe he could work for Bellaire Police Department." This is funny because it is related to Houston and because it is talking about how Dallas is not the only department with problems. It is also funny because it is making a joke about how different departments tolerate different things. Its kind of a satire because it is looking at the Moats situation from a different perspective, looking at it compared to what happened in Bellaire recently.
