"We weren’t aware the child was in the car I can tell you that.

"We weren’t aware the child was in the car I can tell you that. But do you know who was? Oscar. Oscar knew he had a child in his car. Oscar chose to accelerate at a high rate of speed and ram two different vehicles as it appears he was going towards officers. And so the public outcry should also be towards this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer, the outrage should be with him for endangering the five year old.” @SecMullinDHS

Loaded Language The phrase 'ram two different vehicles' uses viscerally charged language to frame the action in the most aggressive possible terms — for example: ram two different vehicles, thug and gangbanger.

Name Calling Multiple derogatory labels are stacked in rapid succession to discredit the individual rather than address facts — for example: 'this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer'

Repetition The word 'this' is used repeatedly before each derogatory label, and 'outrage/outcry' is repeated to hammer home the emotional message — for example: 'this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer'

Appeal to Fear The framing of the suspect as a murderer endangering a child is designed to provoke fear and redirect public anger — for example: 'this possible murderer, the outrage should be with him for endangering the five year old'

Card Stacking The statement redirects all public outrage toward the suspect while omitting any acknowledgment of the officers' role in the incident or the circumstances that led to it — for example: 'the public outcry should also be towards this criminal'

I will say this about the five -year -old child. As a father of six, I would never endanger my kids. My job as a father is to protect my family, and I will die doing that every day. We wasn't aware the child was in the car, I can tell you that. But do you know who was? Oscar. knew he had a child in his car. Oscar chose to accelerate at a high rate of speed and ram two different vehicles as a parent. And rammed two different vehicles, as he was, as it appears to be going towards officers. And so the public outcry should be also towards this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer. The outrage should be with him for endangering the five -year -old.

Appeal to Prejudice The speaker invokes his identity as a father to establish moral credibility and create an in-group contrast with the subject — for example: "As a father of six, I would never endanger my kids".

Glittering Generalities Vague, emotionally resonant language about duty and sacrifice used to build moral authority without substantive content — for example: 'I will die doing that every day'

Card Stacking The speaker asserts officers were unaware of the child without providing evidence, presenting this as established fact to deflect accountability — for example: We wasn't aware the child was in the car, I can tell you that, knew he had a child in his car and as it appears to be going towards officers.

Loaded Language The phrase 'accelerate at a high rate of speed and ram' uses vivid, aggressive language to frame Oscar's actions in the most threatening light — for example: ram two different vehicles, thug and gangbanger.

Appeal to Fear The suggestion that Oscar was 'going towards officers' implies a lethal threat to law enforcement, invoking fear to justify the police response — for example: as it appears to be going towards officers and endangering the five -year -old.

Name Calling Multiple derogatory labels are stacked in rapid succession to discredit Oscar rather than address facts — for example: 'this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer'

Repetition The word 'this' is repeated four times in rapid succession to hammer home each derogatory label, amplifying their cumulative emotional impact — for example: 'this criminal, this thug, this gangbanger, this possible murderer'

Scapegoating Oscar is singled out as the sole party responsible for the danger to the child, deflecting scrutiny from the officers' role in the incident — for example: the public outcry should be also towards this criminal and The outrage should be with him for endangering the five -year -old.
