Riots in Charlotte NC

[BigDGarciaFan]

One injured on the second night of protest. State of emergency has been declared.

 

[nobody]

Yes, because nothing screams "making a difference" like destroying property of people not even involved, looting, etc.

It's taken alot of thought and research...night after night, but I've come up with a solution. Ready??



99% of the time, everything will be alright if you follow an officers commands.

99.9
Maybe even higher
But 99.9 is 1 in 1000. So it probably higher still.
Thats actually still too many.
But the irony is that based on arrests, the odds of someone getting shot are almost exactly the same across racial lines.

This is for another forum though.

Ridiculous.

 

[Tabascocat]

It is beyond ridiculous now. Anyone caught looting, breaking windows or any violent crime should get a mandatory 6 month jail term........no ifs ands or buts.

Seems simple doesn't it?

Apparently not, or this wouldn't keep happening.

The guy was shot by an African American police officer for not dropping his gun. There was no book like the family insisted. They are going to be showing the family the body cam video this morning. No word yet on if they will release it to the public, but I think it is likely.

Yeah, because police reports are definitely accurate, there is no incentive to ***** those.

I would rather wait for all the facts come out. Not going by the police report nor what the family says.

75% of stats are made up, just like this one.

There have been pictures released that show the gun at the persons feet after the shooting. I do think the Mayor and Cheif should release the video. But they just had a press conference that said they would not be releasing it.

Wonder why.

edit:

It would be inappropriate to present footage of "a victim's worst day" for public consumption, Chief Kerr Putney said. Asked if there was a time at which the public could expect to see it, the chief said there should be no such expectation.

Pictures from the police.

Pictures from the police.

Police sources confirm to NBC Charlotte that a witness' photo taken moments after the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott shows a gun at his feet.

So why are they rioting the last two nights...they can just say "sorry my bad" I guess to all the cops injured and the businesses and property destroyed

Their is a certain segment of the population that just wants to rage at the police and will use any reason to do it......they see other cities doing it on TV and they think that looks cool.... the facts and the movement have nothing to do with it

Ferguson was all based on lies..........Hands Up Don't Shoot never happened....... Mike Brown was a criminal that charged and assaulted a cop......most of these martyr stories have fallen apart later.....if they wait for the facts their will no reason to protest and riot

Who is saying rioting is OK? There is no excuse for that either. I don't trust the police and their "sources". I have good reason not to. It may end up being accurate. It might not be. I don't take the word of police who have history of unethical behavior nor the emotional victims.

there's an opportunistic quality to this as the original demonstration/protest was peaceful and was at Marshal Park. Then this group moved the "protest" to the center of the commerce district, which filled with various stores, business', etc.
