Find some more straws

Well we have people protesting because they think the police killed a black man for being black. So how do they resolve the fact it was a black police officer?? Simple question or they maybe need to just give up on the whole he was shot because he was black.

Per the Charlotte Observer twitter feed (local newspaper)

Charlotte Observer ‏@theobserver · 37m37 minutes ago Medic: Five people transported from demonstration. More treated on scene. All had non-life threatening injuries

Per Brad Panovich's twiter feed (WCNC wx guy) 15 min ago

Protesters have now blocked both sides of I-85.

To the OP and anyone else that is watching the live local feed. It's not live. It's on an odd loop. Maybe a few bits of live footage getting through. Strange.

Do you have another live feed other than the one I posted. I used to live in N.C. and I know they can get rowdy.

Yeah I noticed that and found it strange also. Someone who lives there stopped by and gave an update in this thread. Wish I could find another live feed.

Probably due to something along these lines:
from WCNC wx brad

Our station vehicle was damaged all crews were pulled from the scene.

Protestors decided to smash my work vehicle van window. Not a safe scene tonight.

and from another station one of the reporters was hit with a rock--I can't find the link.

Yeah I found the link as well looks like police have set up a line along the highway. And appears at this point they are just waiting.

I was just listening to the livefeed that I just posted. One guy was commenting about how a white guy could to McDonald's and then go to a church and shoot it up - nothing happens. The remaining crowd got behind him in rants. Guess they are confused that a black cop shot Mr. Scott. This one isn't about race - or I don't see how it could be.

No kidding!! I'll keep looking for live feed.

Geez...

Just watchimg protestors appear to have set truck stuck on thr highway on fire. This will cause the police to have to respond. Buy you could see smoke but there camara man is on a bridge over thr interstate so hard to be sure. Could have set something on fire near the trucks.

I guess negative attention is better than no attention. I am not a fan of BLM.

Now the police is making the press Lea e the over pass and we're wearing full riot gear. So think what ever they are going to do us going to happen now.

Semi's have been looted that were stopped on I85 along with the fires that were started.
