Protests over Charlotte Police Shooting move to Highway
161 replies, posted
Authorities used tear gas to disperse protesters, officers were injured and a highway was shut down during protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the fatal shooting of a black man by police who said he was armed and posed a threat.
The protests broke out Tuesday after 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott was fatally shot by a black officer at an apartment complex on the city's northeast side. They continued into early Wednesday morning, when TV footage showed dozens of protesters on Interstate 85 apparently looting semi-trucks and setting their contents on fire on the highway.
Twelve police officers have been injured during protests sparked by the police shooting of a black man in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I'm sure that burning and breaking shit does wonders for making your cause look good
Daughter of the victim said it was because he was black, ignoring the fact the cop who shot him was also black. :rolleyes:
Bunch of retards.

isn't the chief of police also black?
something about the picture in the OP is just amazing
looks like something straight from a movie

Yes, but probably in their Eyes, he's still racist, because he's a cop.
Stop calling people who loot and riot protesters, thats not the proper definition

Gotta wake up early to beat the crowds come Christmas.
What pisses me off is that initially there were a shitload of non-violent protestors (albeit very pissed), and as more people showed up there were a handful in the crowd that kept throwing shit at the cops, trying to get them to react and escalate things. I left at around 11 and nothing had happened yet, and I woke up to seeing that it finally ended up escalating and a bunch of assholes looted 18-wheelers, set a fire on the highway, and broke into the closest Wal-Mart.
I see it like the whole "calling customer service when you're pissed as hell". You can be angry but level headed and most of the time get what you want, but as soon as you start swearing, you're in the wrong and they have every right to hang up/not try to help.
If I were the protestors, I'd be pissed that people keep devaluing the protests with shit like this.

Also, couple that with all the heated & impulsive social media posts, the chancellor of my university (which is right next to where this happened), had to issue a statement/mass email over false claims of gunmen on our campus, and other crap that the campus police had to look in to. It's stuff like this that gets people in a frenzy, sometimes over false information.

"All white people are fuckin devils" I wonder if the "anti-racist" brigade will try to get this dope fired and ostracised from society or if they will cultivate racism by excusing it?
Bunch of fucking dumb asses.

The only thing worse than being a white cop is being a black cop. People these days will protest any and everything
The daughter gave an interview, during which she made racist comments about black people, white people, [I]and[/I] asian people. Bravo, this is like the sister that told rioters to go burn down white neighborhoods.
Why are there riots every time a black person gets shot in the US? I don't recall the last time I ever saw a riots break out over a caucasian person getting shot.

the situation in the US between blacks and police is tense and the extremists (and media to an extent) are gloating

Because certain groups, mass media in particular, are telling them that every death of a black person to police is due to systemic racism in the justice system. These people ignore facts when those facts go against their narrative. The reason why the police are in disproportionate contact with the black community is because the black community has major crime issues in this country. They often glorify gangsters or are being raised by gangsters, and this perpetuates a cycle of crime in these communities.

These people also just start looking for others to blame for their problems. Like the family members of this particular person blaming whites for the dude's death. Even though he was shot by a black officer. Our country was finally getting a good handle on the gang issue. But now SJWs are pushing that is racism that the cops are there. That a lot of the shootings of blacks by cops are due to systemic racism, etc. The politicians and media jumped on their complaints as a chance to win points with the public. A lot of these people, include the non-violent ones, truly believe that there is systemic racism in the justice system. And when people believe the justice system is out against them many will turn to violence.

Seriously, this movement is pushing this country further back into segregation. I mean why are colleges seriously offering segregated housing? Why is BLM demanding segregation in their demands list to the government? Because they want to always play the victim card. The victim narrative will win more people who are uninformed over to their side. If people saw that this movement was being pushed by racists in the black community then they'd push back. But SJWs have long attempted to redefine racism to only mean "Prejudice + Power." So if your not in power you cannot be racist.
Starting to think that maybe white people aren't the racists

Because these people aren't mature enough to deal with every situation individually and assume because one black person might have been shot as a result of racism within the police force, now every black person who is shot is shot as a result of racism regardless of the circumstances.
Essentially these people are mongs.
Gotta love it when people destroy their own communities. When do people have time to protest this shit? I barely have time off of work to see a doctor...

Because a good chunk of those rioting are not the people who have stable jobs. These are people that most likely are either criminals, or living off welfare. So they have a lot of time on their hands.
These people are fanatics, blindly fervent in hate. They have low education or self-awareness and their ideas are spreading or at the very least not calming down.
hope these fuckers love teargas and getting arrested
People are also now starting to move their protests over here into Asheville. I hope it doesn't turn violent. I'm glad I live next to these cities, not in them.

"All cops are racist."
"Blacks can't be racist."
I wonder if dumb political messages can get stuck in a paradoxical loop like my java homework.

Bad news, it just got violent. Someone shot a black male in the head right infront of a police line(fox reporting he's alive with life threatening injuries at this time). A second person was also shot, no details yet.
