Racial profiling (shot 7 times)

Well I agree with Erica about emphasizing the fact the officer shot him 7 times because 7 shots just isn't necessary. Once I saw the gun held by the little boy my view on the whole situation did change. I don't agree with taking a life away that easily though, because I think there were other ways to handle it. If anything, the officer could of tased him, hit him with a Paton, or something less fatal then bullets. But I still question why 7?! I'm also curious how the bullets were shot.. Were they all shot in a split of a second or one by one? Before I give my full opinion on this I would like to know more details.

Why doesn't school teach you how to make money since it is a necessity?
