Protests erupt after man killed in officer-involved shooting in Charlotte

a reply to: SCGrits

So they are going to double down on bad MSM information again tonight? Stay classy NC.

Oh man another black on black shooting they are so rare. /sarcasm

They would be protesting daily and Chicago would be burnt to the ground nuclear style if they protested every black on black death. Detroit? Left in ruins. Pine Bluff Arkansas? Left in ruins. Pretty much anywhere where white flight has taken hold, they should just riot and burn it to the ground.

Stay classy NC.

One can only hope & pray.

With the numbers they can turn out in, if they just mobbed around in a silent mass they would certainly get a positive message out. It would be something to be proud of.

When the select few dissolve it into barbaric riots, all is lost.

I wonder if it's by design.

I wonder if it's by design.

With the long range scope of the PTB with their own private agendas, no doubt in my mind there are outside agitators present, those "select few dissolve it into barbaric riots, all is lost" you mention.

Question becomes, Is the community strong enough to resist and repel these outsiders? Or will they resort to finding the common ground of violence in an effort to assuage their grief and anger?

One has to wonder why a city like Charleston SC didn't erupt like My Vesuvius after not one, but two horrific challenges to racial discrimination, while other cities seem to implode at the least provocation.

My money is on the strength & quality of leadership and their ties to the community.

The PTB on the other hand excel at finding chinks in psychological armor to exploit to their benefit. The question then becomes --How are they benefiting from this? /What do they stand to gain? How would a race war benefit anyone through a scorched earth policy? Or martial law/ posse comitatus? Answer those questions and you'll begin to see through the veil to wizzards behind the curtain. Or as some would say "the military industrial complex" that Eisenhower warned us about.

Seem's protesters are on the move again, some leaving the prayer/protest vigil at the park and moving towards the courthouse around the corner.

Others marching to CMPD at corner of Trade and Davidson, 2 blocks away, where earlier LEO's formed human barrier to entrance.

Now surrounding a bus in uptown at trade and Tryon

Now disrupting and blocking traffic uptown

Night has now fallen here at 7:50 pm--it's dark outside.

Keeping in mind that this didn't get out of control like Ferguson, I'd say that's good. It was mentioned earlier about mob mentality and how it takes over. Whoever the detractors are and whatever their motivations, it's good enough to light the fuse.

After the steam has run it's course, there's rarely any mention of penalties inflicted upon the perpetrators. I feel this too is by design.

The courthouse!? Now that's a step in the right direction.

Not yet, but keep in mind Ferguson stewed & simmered for a few days, increasing in violence and mayhem each night, as the local LEO's dwaddled in releasing information. Which is unfortunately what I'm seeing here in Charlotte - CMPD does have the body cam images of the uniform LEO's present at the shooting but are not releasing them to the media.

CMPD needs to release the body cam vids

Police are in riot gear outside the Epicentre, ( 1 blockj from Trade & Tryon) forming human blockade blocking protesters

a reply to: SCGrits

It was my understanding that they did not have a body cam from the non uniformed officer. I saw a thread earlier about them releasing images of the gun that was found.

You are right, however. The slow drip of real tangible information is overshadowed by a large MSM narrative that wants these people acting like fools to show the entire world. People and property be damned.

They shut down the Transit Center.

a reply to: JinMIThanks for that

Transit center shut down; no more buses tonight.

Sweet god. I am watching Fox.

Two people shot and at least one appears dead in the middle of the protest.

I hope no more people get hurt.

ETA:

Now they are saying only one shot, with life threatening injuries.
