Poor taste: Chron.com runs front-page photo of smirking cop killer
On its front page, Chron.com is currently running an image identified as a "2003 family photo" of Juan Leonardo Quintero, the illegal alien who shot an HPD officer in the back yesterday, killing him.
I will submit to readers that it shows incredibly poor taste for Chron.com to be running a photo of a smirking cop killer today. I hope they're not planning a Chron Eye For the Undocumented-Immigrant Cop-Killer Guy tomorrow.
What do you think?
ANNE LINEHAN ADDS: After being out most of the day and evening, I was surprised to click over to Chron.com and see a picture of Officer Johnson's killer. Why isn't Officer Johnson's picture prominently displayed on Chron.com's front page? And where did the Chron get that terrible picture? Did they search it out? Did someone send it to the Chron? It's very strange and shows poor judgment.
