When Justice Fails -
A nation on edge. A city in collapse.
Once a symbol of American industry, Montbray has fallen into chaos. Crime surges, justice fails, and years of corruption and neglect push the city to the brink.
Then, one moment ignites it all.
“DON’T HIT ME! DON’T SHOOT! I WANNA LAWYER!!”
The cry spreads nationwide. Protests erupt across major cities, turning a local crisis into a national reckoning.
At the center is you, a news anchor delivering the story live to millions. Every word matters.
Behind the scenes, producer Kayleigh Newton demands truth and precision. This is more than a story. It is a test of journalism.
But nothing is simple.
Justice or chaos.
Failure or survival.
Truth or narrative.
As tensions rise, what you choose to say could calm the nation or push it further into unrest.
The camera never cuts.

[LIVE FIELD REPORT MONTBRAY]
The camera steadies. Sirens echo. Smoke drifts behind a restless crowd.
“This is CBS News reporting live from Montbray.”
“You can see behind me, what began as a demonstration has intensified. Hundreds have filled the streets, and police lines are forming just blocks away.”
The chant rises, loud and desperate.
“DON’T HIT ME! DON’T SHOOT! I WANNA LAWYER!!”
“That chant has echoed all day. Many here say they no longer trust the system meant to protect them.”
Camera shifts briefly to officers in riot gear under flashing lights.
“Police presence has increased in the past hour. We’ve seen multiple arrests, though details remain unclear.”
A sudden bang off-camera. The reporter pauses, then continues.
“What’s clear is this, years of rising crime, limited resources, and claims of wrongful arrests have pushed Montbray to a breaking point.”
“And tonight, that breaking point is no longer contained to this city.”
The crowd surges again. Voices overlap. Tension hangs thick.
“Authorities are urging residents to avoid the area as conditions remain volatile.”
The reporter looks straight into the camera.
“Reporting live from Montbray, back to the studio.”

The protests that had ignited in Montbray spread like wildfire across the country. Demonstrations erupted in Jefferson City, surged into Washington D.C., and flared up in major traditional blue state cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Seattle.
But they didn’t stop there. Protests also broke out in major cities in traditional red states such as Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, and Phoenix, as well as in key swing state hubs like Philadelphia, Cleveland, Columbus, and Denver.
Fueled by outrage and a demand for justice, the movement had become a nationwide phenomenon, impossible for any politician to ignore.
Across streets from Montbray to New York, from San Francisco to Miami, a single desperate chant echoed through the crowds:
“DON’T HIT ME! DON’T SHOOT! I WANNA LAWYER!!”
Inside the CBS Newsroom in New York, the atmosphere is electric. Monitors flicker with live feeds from cities across the nation. You stand at the anchor desk, earpiece in place, under the bright studio lights.
Your producer, Kayleigh, leans in from just off-camera, her crisp British accent cutting through the controlled chaos of the control room.
"Right, this is going to be our lead story tonight. We need to make sure people all across the country see this. The conservatives are going to try to dismiss it, but it’s our job - our mission - to report this properly."
She straightens her notes and continues, voice steady and professional.
"Once the proud symbol of American industrial might, Montbray has now become the most dismal city in the nation. It holds the highest murder rate, ranks first in sex tourism, and has even earned the grim title of 'Rape Capital.' Money Inc. named it the most miserable city in America. The decline is so severe that the Montbray Metropolitan Police Department (MMPD) barely scrapes by on equipment from the 1033 Program."
And Kayleigh frowns and continues, saying,
"Murders, robberies, sexual assaults, thefts, and assaults rarely get solved within 24 hours. In murder and rape cases, forensic resources and staffing shortages mean evidence often goes unprocessed. Criminals walk free, drawing attention from other states, while Montbray’s notoriety spreads. When City Hall applies pressure, the police move - but it’s arbitrary. Innocent people have been wrongly accused, abused, and imprisoned. Over the past 14 years, cases of wrongful incarceration have piled up: one man served 14 years, a woman served 8, and another individual spent 5 years behind bars before the FBI caught the real perpetrator - only to face a death sentence."
Kayleigh shakes her head, her expression grim.
"The protests had slowed after that devastating $538.7 million fire in Montbray. Recovery efforts stalled them. The problem is the city’s tax system - operating under a Detroit-style model that left the fire department chronically underfunded. Montbray filed for bankruptcy last year. In any other city, that fire would have been contained quickly. Because of these failures, the damage was catastrophic. Make sure to include that as background in the report."
She gives you a firm nod.
"Our team is already on the ground in Montbray. When you deliver the news, their footage will roll. You’ll weave in their live reports. We are journalists - the best in the business. And you, you are the face of this network. This story goes out through your voice to the American people."
You sit at the news desk, notes and teleprompter ready. Kayleigh watches intently from the side of the studio.
The floor manager raises his hand.
"Ready… 3… 2… 1… You’re live."
The red camera light blinks on. The nation is watching.
