Media calls Charlotte riot a 'protest'
American Thinker ^ | September 21, 2016 | Rick Moran

A riot broke out in Charlotte, NC late last night after police shot and killed a man who they say was armed with a gun.

But the family of Keith Lamont Scott says he was carrying a book when he emerged from a car at an apartment complex where police were serving warrant on another man,

The officer who shot Scott is black.

CNN:

Several hundred people gathered outside the complex Tuesday night, chanting "no justice, no peace!" and carrying signs that said "Black Lives Matter."

Local Charlotte TV “news” stations reported the riot as a “protest.”

Land Of The Free my ass. We are living under a Corporate/Media/Leftist-Bureaucrat tyranny.

I see that the Dem mayor of Charlotts used to work at the State Department, but can’t find out when. Doesn’t anyone know if she worked there during Hillary’s time?

If it were a protest, why would they break into Wal Mart and steal electronics? It was a riot, led by violent lawbreaking thugs.

So the rioters would prefer that their neighborhoods be over run with thugs? Wonder how many thugs are even from the area.

Let me summarize what we know. Black Cop shoots Black man who had a gun and would not yield to Police commands. Protestors looted a Wal Mart and anything else they could get their hands on. Police Chief who explains events is Black. So, what are people Protesting, or are they just using event as an excuse to Loot?

The Charlotte riot was an act of domestic terrorism and should have been dealt with as domestic terrorism. Instead, Charlotte officials joined the domestic terrorists in doing essentially nothing to protect the citizens of Charlotte and their property.

When Whites are attacked in their cars it’s all right with the left. When non-Whites attack cops it’s all right with the left.

I am sure that, aside from the rioting, it was an otherwise “peaceful” event.

I wish that some black leaders, if there actually any black leaders, would remind these...ummm...”liberators of ill-gotten wealth”...that every TV that they steal just perpetuates racism against all black people, including the vast majority who actually BUY televisions.

Shoot the leaders, and shoot to kill!

My father was career Navy from 1938, but before that he was Army.
They did riot drills, the training was;
Shoot the leaders, and shoot to kill!

Probably preparing for a repeat of the Bonus riots?

Just ho3w does the family know he was carrying a book???? They were not there.

The cops say a gun...they were there.

Until shown otherwise, I go with the gun story. Was he menacing? dunno. Did he “deserve” it? Again, dunno.

But it just is passing strange that the family is so insistent he had a book and NOT a gun. And they were not there.

Lots of ghetto folks in this country need to figure something out real quick. Many people in this country are sick to death of their crap! Every single “problem” with living in America in 2016 can be traced back to their little asses. It’s law enforcement that keeps the good people of America from taking out the trash once and for all. They should consider that.

If a black person is ticketed for littering or jaywalking...that is now sufficient cover story to permit mayhem.

Because someone’s death is always an excuse to steal a big screen TV. These people don’t care about the ones they protest for at all.
