Protester Shot During Charlotte Protests As protesters flooded the streets of Charlotte to protest the senseless police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott as he sat peacefully reading a book …chaos has slowly descended on the ciy — culminating in the near-fatal shooting of a protester. Via CNN : One person was shot Wednesday night during a protest over a deadly police shooting in Charlotte, city officials said. The person, who was not identified, is in critical condition and on life support, the city tweeted. Earlier the city had tweeted that the person had died. One police officer was injured, according to a city tweet. The officer was transported to a hospital with undisclosed injuries. The riots and protests came on a day in which the city’s police chief gave more details on the shooting that took the life of Keith Lamont Scott. Many rioters and protesters dispersed after police fired tear gas before 11 p.m. ET. But some on the ground say there is a major discrepancy in what the news is reporting and what really occurred. Clergy members on the scene wanted it known that they saw an OFFICER fire on protesters in what they describe as an “ambush” by armed cops on the peaceful crowd… Even a reporter from Daily Mail witnessed the protester get shot senselessly… Naturally, Charlotte news outlets maintain that it isn’t true and a random civilian did the shooting instead. SMH. Tensions are HIGH in Charlotte right now. Hopefully everyone can stay safe for the remainder of the evening. We’ll follow this story as it continues to develop… CNN
Hillary Clinton Tells White People That They Need To Help Fight Racial Injustice Despite there not being much national television coverage surrounding the unscrupulous killing of Terence Crutcher, The Steve Harvey Morning show wasn’t about to let the subject go ignored. This morning they spoke to Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton about the newest social media hashtag and she took time to specifically address her fellow anglo-saxons. Via HuffingtonPost On Tuesday’s episode of “The Steve Harvey Morning Show,” the former secretary of state and current Democratic presidential nominee said she wanted to speak “directly to white people” and let them know that “this is not who we are.” “How many times do we have to see this in our country?” Clinton said. “In Tulsa, an unarmed man with his hands in the air. This is just unbearable. And it needs to be intolerable.” “Maybe I can, by speaking directly to white people, say, look, this is not who we are,” she continued. “We have got to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias.” Hillz is making a concerted effort to gain the trust of black folks by speaking to the social justice issue that many of us are concerned about, but is it too little, too late?
