Protests Erupt in Charlotte After Police Kill a Black Man
New York Times
Alan Blinder 20 Sept 2016
Who: Keith L. Scott
What: Protests
Where: Charlotte North Carolina
When: Wednesday
Why: Shooting

On the afternoon of Tuesday, September 19, Keith L. Scott was shot four times by police. The police state that Mr. Scott held a weapon and “posed an imminent deadly threat.” Later Mr. Scott’s family said that he had a book and was going to pick up his child. Protest for the shooting started on Tuesday and turned ugly late into the night. Protesters looted trucks on interstate 85 and clashed with police. Police then protected a Walmart from the protesters after they left the highway.

In my opinion protesters should not loot and try to burn down Walmarts because they are mad, they have every right to be mad but not to to harm to property or person.

I learned that there was another shooting in America to a black man from a white police officer.

This impacts the black community most, but also impacts police and America in general too.

Why was Keith L. Scott being in his car a deadly threat?
Why did protesters try to attack a Walmart?
How is this shooting trial going to be different from others?

Consumers Lab Reflection

The consumers lab was focused on two caterpillars grown in a cup with medium and to observe their growth. As time progressed over a few weeks, caterpillars were growing larger with their large amount of food intake. Soon they entered their next stage of life, the pupa, and stayed like that throughout the rest of the experiment. During the experiment the masses of both cups changed as evaporation and conversion to energy for the bugs. Reflecting back, more observations throughout the day would have helped as most were when they were cocooned, eating, or resting on the walls of the cup.

Donald Trump Gambles on Immigration but Sends Conflicting Signals
New York Times
Patrick Healy 31 Aug 2016
Who: Donald Trump
What: Immigration
Where: Mexico and Phoenix, AR
When: August 31, 2016
Why: Immigration policy with Mexico
Donald Trump went to Mexico in the past week to speak with the President of Mexico. The talk went well between the two as Trump was calm. Back in the United States, Trump released a roaring speech one how illegal immigrated are rapist and drug dealers among other horrible things. Trump continued to change his mind over everything in his campaign. With no clue way to make his immigration policy happen, many followers are loosing interest.
My opinion is that Trump has become a more bipolar person with his campaign policy, and is not ready for presidency whatsoever.
I learned that Donald Trump can seemingly act presidential, yet can be drastically different just a couple hours later.
This information affects anyone who pays attention to the news for the up coming election, in who is ready for presidency.
What is your immigration policy?
How is Mexico paying for the wall?
Why does your opinion keep changing?
