  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy by not naming individuals involved, but the mention of 'Islamist orientation' could be seen as contributing to a narrative that may affect the dignity of Muslims. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it focuses on the suspect's alleged religious orientation without context or nuance. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks, but it does not facilitate constructive dialogue or criticism either.
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds free speech by reporting on a public safety issue, but the framing could be more responsible by avoiding potential stigmatization.
