Charlotte police shoot and kill man, sparking growing protest

16 according to the chief just now.

 

North Carolina just went to Trump. Thanks, rioters.

 

lmao. The election is already in Trump's hands. I find the duplicity of the people wailing about entrenched elitist interests voting for him to be hilarious.

c'est la vie.

 

Not according to the reports this morning.

 

Not what i said at all.... Try again.

If that was the case then we wouldnt hear every day of the supposed thousands of unarmed black men being gunned down.. How about dealing with facts instead of perception eh?

We have two sides. One says gun the other says.. Book.. I am trying to think of a situation where officers dont know a book from a gun.. Can you?

 

Uh, no... it was a Black perp WITH A GUN who was killed by a Black police officer. Just out of curiosity, what has that got to do with an 1816 plantation...? Honestly, race-obsessed hyperlibs are the most mindlessly stupid people in this country....

Hope they give the officer a medal for ridding the world of another scumbag.

 

Has America become a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing death cult or something?

Hmm...

 

Just an FYI, runaway slaves weren't killed, they were captured and forced to do harder work, or sold further South.

As for the entirety of your comment, as long as people think like you, we'll never resolve these issues of making something out of nothing and attaching race to it.

 

1) There was no book
2) Everyone is racist including the Black Police officer and the Black Police Chief

Which is more likely.

 

Forget it, PA, his mind is already made up and he needs no facts. When the facts of all of these shootings are presented, people like TWoG are back to square one and can't push the race issue.

 

One person (witness or hear say?) said that the police were undercover and did not give any orders other than shout out "gun". So the victim had no idea that they were police and all he would have seen were armed men approaching

 

Family and friends say he was armed with a book... Yeah, not buying that.

 

Seems the book has gone missing but yet a gun was found in its place!!! Must be racist magic!

 

I wonder how many people have this kind of thinking. So simply defining an obnoxiously complex issue. Let's have a go at it. The ridiculous amount of scrutiny you speak of? It means nothing without consequences Last year even with convictions? ZERO officers did any jail time for shooting/killing someone unlawfully. In this context unlawfully means the standard to use lethal force as handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States of America. How is that even possible someone may ask? Well it's possible because Prosecutors and DA offices are I'm sorry to say corrupt. I don't think it's always intentional but they have day to day working relationships with their police departments so when a shooting happens they don't indict. There will be no indictment I think here because of the lack of video. The overwhelming sway that just an officers written report has with DAs will see to that. In almost all cities all across America it's this way.

The Black Lives Matter movement is a good one unfortunately it has some very corrupt and power hungry people in positions of power inciting violence. They desperately need a MLK to emerge and focus their efforts in a lawful way.

These Riots are going to continue, look at Tulsa, now how that entire city didn't blow up is beyond me as that Officer executed that man in the heat of the moment. You can see it yourself. That officer also had two write ups for using excessive force in the past. Nothing was done and now a man is dead because she believed she has a license to kill. Only because of the video will she even be forced to resign but prosecuted by a jury of her peers for manslaughter, convicted and sentenced to prison? No.

Riots out of frustration and fear and anger will continue until people see real consequences for cops killing people unlawfully. No matter if it be because of fear, profiling , racism or stupidity. It is not a right to be a cop but a privilege with very real dangers. I would not be able to do it.

Consequences.

 

I can't recall the last time democrats had something besides the race card. I'm certain I'd have to go back to the 90's when Bill was president. And that was before the race card was readily available and the democratic president and his wife were increasing law enforcement because of thugs like Keith Scott.

Yeah but all the thugs needed was an excuse. With the family claiming their punk ass thug relative was only armed with a book was all the low information ignorant crowd needed. Now the facts are irrelevant.

 

Facts need not apply once the spark has been lit. See Ferguson & Michael "hands up don't shoot" Brown.

 

It's a sad day when Americans celebrate death like we're in some (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Roman arena.

Have you people listened to yourselves?

He had a gun.

Since when was it illegal to have a firearm?

You're celebrating the "Death of a criminal thug" when no one has been proven guilty of anything.

 

Well they are running the cops side as if it were verified as well. Maybe time to wait for the facts.

 

I dont recall anyone claiming he was shot for owning a gun have you?

 

Hard to believe the cops would coordinate their stories. Yeah, right.

 

So by default its a conspiracy.... Got you...

 

No the family says he was shot for owning a book.

 

That attitude looks eerily familiar to several PF posters. I don't know why they don't say "f*ck it" and go ahead and segregate people like this into their own city so that they don't have to deal with evil white people. All residents and store owners and police (if they want any) can be black and no whites can enter or pass through, have routes around each city like this for whites and blacks that aren't racist. Let em wallow in their own slop from now on.

 

What book? Where is it?
