PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Deborah Danner ? City EMT Patrick Moore said he was prepared to move emotionally disturbed  Deborah Danner  safely out of  her  Bronx apartment â and then the shooting started.
An angry  Danner   66  had stopped screaming as Moore went to grab a chair used to move patients. A half-dozen police officers simultaneously entered  her  bedroom on Oct. 18  2016  the first responder testified Friday.
âI assumed they were going to restrain  her  â said Moore under questioning from Bronx prosecutor Newton Mendys in the murder trial of NYPD Sgt. Hugh Barry.
Instead  Moore recounted  he heard cops shouting at the heavy-set older woman to âput it down  get downâ â apparently a reference to a baseball bat that  Danner  was holding.

Within a short time   Danner  was conducting a âfairly normal conversation with Brittney â Moore testified  adding that he kept his distance from the patient to avoid upsetting  her  âin any way.â
Barryâs lawyer has argued the sergeant was forced to make a split-second life or death decision when  Danner  grabbed the baseball bat.
â Mrs. Danner  was the aggressor and  she  was about to kill my client â said defense attorney Andrew Quinn.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chuck Grassley ? Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) was besieged at a town-hall style event in Logan  Iowa on Friday with questions about President Trump. Mr. Trump won Iowa by almost 10 percentage points  according to the Des Moines Register.
 Grassley  is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee  which is investigating Russian meddling in the election.
 Grassley  tried to emphasize that a deal on DACA needs to be reached before the March 5th deadline  saying "we've got to convince the American people that we don't make the same mistakes we did 30 years ago when we thought we had secured the borders because we did away with the magnet of people coming here to work."
According to KMTV   Grassley  said Mr. Trump's "sh*thole" remark "detracts from the very important issue that we got to get solved by March 5th ... it's better to keep to the issues  don't do anything to detract from the issues and bottom line  all people ought to be treated with respect."
 Grassley  will be holding another event in Sac City  Iowa  on Saturday morning  according to the Des Moines Register.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tonya Harding ? A quirky little Brooklyn museum focused on the saga of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan has won the “gold” that eluded the Winter Games hopefuls — as it has grown so popular in recent weeks that it has been forced to move into an Olympic-sized new space.
The pair debuted the gallery after watching ESPN’s 2014 “30 for 30” documentary “The Price of Gold” — which chronicles the clash between Kerrigan  sweetheart of the skating scene  and  Harding    her  troubled  working-class rival.
 Harding  became a tabloid fixture when  her  ex-husband hired someone to bash in Kerrigan’s right knee ahead of the 1994 US Figure Skating Championships.
Kerrigan recovered in time to compete while  Harding   despite not being charged with a crime  saw  her  career and reputation destroyed.
“What we both ended up taking from [the documentary] was this shock that there hasn’t already been a movie made showing what  Tonya Harding  had to go through. This was the first time we were seeing it and we thought  well   she ’s still alive. It’s time for people to rethink this ” said Harkins.
“ Tonya  said  she ’s heard of [the museum]   she  thinks it’s cool  but  she ’s not coming  which is totally fine ” Harkins said. “And then somebody from Nancy’s agency came and said they thought it was absurd but fun.”

Positive
