7 TIMES

1. Ericas tone was very emotional, and somewhat confused. She became emotional when she began to talk about when the kid was shot, it was like she was there watching it all happen. She seemed confused however when the shots were fired. She repeatedly asked why 7 shots? That it was not necessary and was too quick of a reaction to do on that kid.
2. The facts given to us that are for sure facts are that the young boy was shot 7 times, he did in fact carry a fake gun that looked realistic from a far, but did the young boy really point the gun at the police officers? Or was it simply him turning around ad the police overreacting?
3. Erica makes her conclusion really clear and obvious to anyone who reads this response. She believes that the actions of the police officers were understandable but shooting the boy 7 times is outrageous.
4. To me a good tactic used by Erica was repetition. If you notice through out her entire post she would repeat the question 'Why 7?' This showed her main points of view and completely eliminated the question 'what side is she on?'
5. The two posts are very similar, but Javier's post gives one clear image that Erica's doesn't the picture comparing the fake gun to a real one. That alone gave us an extremely clear image of what this whole situation really looked like.
