That was the right eye ... what was the left eye saying?

Who ever is in charge, they're doing it wrong.

What is the right way?

I don't know.

But this isn't it.

I've got the police scanner streaming here.

It's pretty intense form their side.

Charlotte police radio live feed from RadioReference.com

So a black rioter shot a fellow black rioter because a black cop shot an armed black man?

Makes as much sense as voting for Hillary, I guess.

Since they seem to like Black-on-Black crime there in Charlotte, we'll ship some of our gangs out there. Looks like we'll get Chicago's shooting and murder rate down after all!

Edit to say: It's too bad the Hannity-Trump Town Hall to be shown tonight was recorded earlier. I like LIVE Town Halls. They include the very latest news. I wonder if the Trump-Hillary debate will be LIVE.. or will it be recorded earlier in the day.

Are the police using "stop and frisk" tonight?

Just checked out that feed... You hear that last thing?! "Holiday inn. White head wrap. All white clothes. Automatic rifle. Walking towards town."

(First thing I heard... "Was a report of..."
No confirmation.)

But see? This shouldn't be anything to do with it.

And this isn't the way to get anywhere with making anyone sympathetic to you. In a way, riots are their own form of terrorism.

Do what we want or we'll destroy whatever we can.

just saw a guy they said got shot by a rubber bullet.

My son lives in Charlotte, just south of downtown.

waiting to hear from him......

Just got a txt. frckn kids. "we wanted to go"

I understand, being 19, young dumb and full of #. I told him to keep his ass home or I will drive 10hrs and kick his ass.


Kids........

What a mess this Country is becoming. This is what happens when labels and division are policy.

I'm sure that's just a wild rumor. They'll get a lot tonight.

Damn, this is pretty much my neck of the woods. I just heard about all this a few minutes ago when my friend texted me basically saying the S was HTF a few blocks from his work. Sort of changes the perspective on all this mess when it's happening near you. All I know is it's getting old quick, there has to be a solution to all this.

Edit: If you're Reddit friendly, there's a live thread going on over here.

Richard Fowler going nuts on Fox. Telling the audience "hard truths" they do not want to hear about how its time to stop systemically oppressing black people and they are tired for waiting for investigations by police.

I wonder if Mr. Fowler feels any sympathy for the man that these rioters shot and killed. That life isn't as important as the ones killed by cops to Mr. Fowler though.

Oh, and to be fair, protestors are saying police shot the protestor that died. That seem very unlikely seeing as how they are all lined up and being filmed, so unless the had a hidden sniper or something that seems far fetched. What cop would randomly shoot a person with some many eyes on them?

I don't know.

But this isn't it.

It does seem to be lacking but sometimes there isn't an alternative. I hope the country can find a different, real solution. It's not in one man's hand.

This is horribly sad. I've been to Charlotte several times and only had wonderful experiences. As a young white male living in the south, I visit Charlotte every so often. I can't begin to tell you how hospitable this city is, no matter what color you are or the people you encounter.

I have been to Charlotte many times, I love Charlotte. I have had the same wonderful experience, and this is as a white 'yankee'.

This is so sad to be witnessing......

Fair enough... Just wanted to mention it, just in case, since i heard it... Was an outlier to what I was expecting to hear when I tuned in, which was looting and stuff, which is all that I've heard since. (the looting and stuff)

Who is the black guy in the white shirt and tie walking back and forth in front of the police line instructing some of the protesters?

About half of this is trying to fix stupid, the part where people commit crime over a perceived or actual crime that was committed. Fixing stupid is a rare success.

Probably an Agent Provocateur.
