Audrey Gavitt- Charlotte shooting

Summery-

A week after 43 year old Keith Scott was shot by police in Charlotte North Carolina the first city council meeting was held. The hall was filled with protesters who have been protesting all week and want the be herd by the police and the mayor. A young girl named Zianna Oliphant spoke with tears streaming down her face she said, "It's a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed and we can't see them anymore,".

Analysis-

This article was written by Madison Park on September 27 and it was published by CNN. It is truly horrible that we see and hear these kind of things happen everyday, it seems nothing is getting better. When a child is crying about dead parents and still nothing changes, something is wrong. It took almost a week for the police to release the body cam videos of the shooting, and even after they were released to the public something didn't seem right. It feels like every week there is another police shooting, there are more and more protests and more lives lost. A child should not have to cry for something to change.

  1. I can't believe shootings are happening more frequently.

  2. It seems like shootings happen more frequently. It's sick when people don't think about how others have actual lives and kids to look after.
