I hate to say it, but the people rioting are playing right into Trump's hands, and it doesn't seem like this was necessarily misconduct by the police, unlike the Oklahoma incident.

I am all for peaceful protesting but rioting is a step way too far.

Remember "hands up don't shoot"?

Seems some just want an excuse to riot.

Lying in the LaQuan McDonald case. Funny how the prospect of cops lying never seems to be a reality in the worldview of you and other posters in this thread

But assuming they always do in every case so as to riot is idiocy that does nothing to make your case.

You automatically ran to the conclusion that those people who don't agree with the current police version are liars. It's right there in your post. Assuming cops tell the truth in every case is also idiocy when you expect people to continue to accept these incidents with no hint of police accountability. People of color have been saying for years that cops frequently lie in their interactions with us and yet the larger community has done nothing about it.

Burn down your neighborhood?

How about waiting for facts before you call people liars

So saying people believed the lying liars was correct and appropriate.

What's your point?

Protesting when the facts arent in is imbecilic. Rioting is doubling down on it.

Who calls people liars before all the facts are in

Answer:

Those who said hands up dont shoot. I am calling them liars today, well after the facts came in.

You responded to a poster who said that some people in Charlotte might not believe the police version of events by saying why do they believe lies from the other side. That's calling someone a liar.

That is to be seen. Just wondering why people are jumping to conclusions when history has shown it could be lies as it was with hands up dont shoot ss an example.

The other side of the equation. Some cops lie. If you had simply said wait for all the facts without your continuing reference to hands up don't shoot, you'd have no quarrel from me

Thats why i was addressing the other side to cool its kets lest they be made to look like fools. Again. Sure cops have lied in the past. U have no argument from me on that one.

That much we agree on

Your tone strikes me as, shall I say, "familiar?"

Ever been to baileys pub?

couple of hundred cops with nightsticks and full shields lined up everywhere

If so, be safe!

One on FB said 4 people tried to stop the car in front of him but failed.
Its NC; they stop the wrong car and someone inside is gonna start shooting quickly

And it is what I expected. Started out with locals having a peaceful protest. Then the 'professional' anarchist who have probably been driving all day to get the Charlotte started rioting. Most of the ones I have seen kicking and throwing the tear gas canisters at the cops are white boys in their 20s. The cops seem to have them pegged because when the can they rush a team out and grab them, which infuriates their comrades. They have those silly vest they make with red crosses on them and when not stirring things up act like they are journalist.

There are also locals from a church, African Americans, chanting Jesus Saves and trying to stay between the cops and the other protesters.

This is not longer a protest, but a riot by anarchists. And I purposely do not use the term 'far-left' although many would consider it accurate. But in my opinion when you get too far to either side you start looking like the opposition.

trying to stir things up to make the left look bad.

The right does not a monopoly on idiots. We have had an anarchist movement for over a decade.

They do not help anything and just love violence and the adrenaline of a riot.

But the media will not point that out. Kind of Helter Skelter.

Right now I see several white guys lined up nose to nose facing off with the cops And a few that are completely covered so you can't tell what race they are. I am wondering if these people aren't the Alt-right trying to smear the lines between a valid, heartfelt protest and a riot.

First thing I thought of when they announced it was a civilian on civilian shooting.

Foolish to let it get to this point - the genuine protesters are now in danger and so is everyone else.

Wonder if that helps

Who knew Charlotte Hornets gear was in such high demand?
