Sorry, media: Black Charlotte chief says suspect had a gun, which is why black officer shot him
CANAda Free Press ^ | 09/21/16 | Dan Calabrese

Witnesses corroborate, and no book was found anywhere -- Police Chief: Officers Warned Scott to Drop Gun

Not that there is ever a good reason to have a riot, but the Charlotte rioters might be interested to know they bought a line of crap from the media, which just sent 23 people to the hospital and unleashed hours of chaos in the streets for no reason whatsoever. White-cops-shoot-unarmed-black-man? Don’t think so.

As the video below demonstrates, the media caused all this. More than 1,000 people heard on the news that a guy holding a book was shot by police, and even though these people didn’t know the guy who was shot, they came out anyway and rioted.

And yet none of what they heard was true. A man with a gun was told by police to drop his gun, and he did not comply with that request. I hate to tell you this, but that is going to get you shot every time. Not only that, but in this case - contrary to the media’s racist-white-cops narrative, it was a black cop who felt threatened and fired his weapon, and a black police chief who backed up what his officers had to do.

All the facts do not matter to the people who use something like this as a reason to riot and loot. Look at the looting these people did. What does that matter to the issue of a man being shot?

When you find out that this man was armed, did not comply with the police directive, and then was shot by a black officer, you would think that these people would feel bad about not waiting until they found out what really happened. The people who rioted were not concerned with the truth. They would have jumped at any excuse to break windows, steal things, and set fires.

These people are goofballs. They tow the line until there is something that happens that they think gives them cover to carry on.

When something like this happens, I sit and wait until the real truth comes out. Even then, I would not take place in a riot. A riot does nothing but give people a chance to steal things and set fires.

Black people don’t really need a reason to riot, it just helps them to get everyone organized.

And if proven to be true, each and every POS vermin in the media that purposely and knowingly reported a falsehood should be sued by the people (and their businesses)who suffered from any kind of damage(s).

How often have we seen police report of a man “pointing a gun” or “reaching for his waistband” turn out to be pure hokum when a video turns up?

Why not tell us?

If the media keeps this up we will re-live the 1968 riots, which damn near resulted in a race war.

That has been the official plan since the Marxist Muslim Duplicitous Man Child assumed office.

When a Muslim ignites a bomb and kills and maims people, the leftist politicians and the media go out of their way to not rush to judgment.

When a black cop shoots a black guy with a gun, the leftist media and politicians rush to judgment with the story the black guy was only holding a book.

Obama should feel proud that he has trained his loyal media well on when and when not to rush to judgment.

It’s not so much that will cost the news org.

Anyone that was injured from the riot caused by a news org. Spreading rumor Has imho grounds to sue them for injury due to their negligence and promoting a story that in fact incited the riot.

Ie. You can’t yell fire...

Maybe we need to LICENSE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY of JOURNALISTS, If it is for Profit or Gain you need a License, Pass a Background Check, Undergo Regular Drug Testing, and if found Violating the Law or Making Deliberate False Statements, be PUT IN PRISON and BANNED for Life from Owning Using or Possessing ANY Device capable of High Capacity Transmission of Thought or Ideas.

Just Like Gun Owners
