> Post the latest news from mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only. No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours. Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread

This is the latest news. The AP article is provided as background information and is not the source, as you know from reading the OP.

> Your source for the article is the AP/DailyMail Your title does not match it. The AP story is already covered in the other thread.

Incorrect: My source for the article was my own reporting. As stated in the OP, the subject of the article is the injury of a 15 year old girl.

Per academic standards of journalism, when no secondary source is available, which is the case, primary sources are acceptable reporting.

The other thread does not cover the subject at all. The other thread is about a police officer who was injured by a criminal, and whether or not the perpetrator was brought to justice. Totally different story. The AP story is not about either topic.

> "Citizen Journalist" does not meet the criteria for "mainstream website and blogs"

Yes it does.

>The event occurred more than 12 hours ago as the article refers to Saturday Morning.

Incorrect: The event occurred Saturday evening. I arrived on site at 2 PM. The eviction happened at 4-6 PM.
