"Twelve police officers were injured Tuesday night in a series of clashes, and reports were coming in early Wednesday of motorists on Interstate 85 being hurt and their vehicles damaged when protestors threw rocks, bottles and traffic cones off interstate overpasses onto traffic below.
....
Police said they had been searching for someone who had an outstanding warrant at The Village at College Downs complex on Old Concord Road when they saw Scott leave his car holding a gun.
Officers approached Scott after he got back into the car. He emerged from the car again armed with a firearm “and posed an imminent deadly threat to the officers, who subsequently fired their weapon striking the subject,” police said in a statement. “The officers immediately requested Medic and began performing CPR.”"

Wow, the way these things escalate is insane. People are so quickly to riot and loot before the facts come out. People blame others for jumping the gun on calling terror attacks "bombings", but at least they aren't starting riots, attacking police, and looting.
The guy unquestionably was armed, not controlled by police or, apparently, cooperating in any way and approaching police with a firearm drawn. I'd shoot him, too.

Did you assume the "hence" meant it was justified? Not my intention I promise. I was merely relaying facts of the scenario.
I guess in my mind "hence" implied it was justified.

My apologies - I modified a prev post to explain what's going on. I am in Charlotte this whole week - so I get a front row seat.
Think what we are seeing is a worldwide reaction to social inequality.

Gotcha. Words can be pesky sometimes but we still have to communicate.
My sister lives just outside of Charlotte and thankfully has had no issues. Be safe!
Quote:Think what we are seeing is a worldwide reaction to social inequality.
Social and economical inequality happens all the time to all races, it just doesn't make the news if it's black/black, white/white, white/black, brown/black, black/brown, etc. There has to be a cop involved in shooting a black person for any 'outrage' to happen which is crap. Apparently this time it was a black perp, a black cop and a black police chief in the thick of it and people still rained hate and discontent down on folks to who didn't have a dog in the fight.
People should be outraged but about a lot of things, but how they deal with it is showing them to petulant children not getting their way as opposed to adults who want to have a conversation about how to get more involved in the community so this becomes less of an issue. Sadly in a lot of the black culture there is no getting involved with the police unless they're being arrested. There is no cooperation to set a new course for a relationship between the black community and the police. It's ingrained in them from birth and the cycle will never be broken with the behavior exhibited every time something like this happens.
Who says its just the blacks? The whites are voting for Trump is their rebellion.
So things really broke down last night. The cop appears to be
in the right, looking at what evidence has come out so far. The cop wasn't even white, which is what typically triggers BLM into domestic terrorism. So why the hell did Charlotte collapse into complete anarchy? Tulsa looks like they have more a reason to be upset, but Tulsa has been peaceful.
So what is going on in Charlotte? State of emergency, national guard called in, 7 cops hospitalized, protestors getting critically shot (not by officers). Civilization is drowning in NC.

10cents? I've been paying 50 cents for years! In calling my congressman!
Well, no one purchased them anyway, what's the harm?...................Acting like animals.
"Some stores were looted, including the Charlotte Hornets' NBA store, local media reported".

So peaceful these BLM folks
The Hyatt House Hotel in downtown went into lockdown as protesters tossed bricks through the window. A valet and front desk attendant were punched in the face by protesters, hotel manager Matt Allen told CNN.

Suckaaaaaa!!. You need to learn to negotiate better. :yes:

Justice system fails repeatedly. You know it and so do I.
I have zero faith in "American Justice".
Absolutely Zero Faith.
Preempting the process with a lynch mob doesn't help. We have an open all be it imperfect justice system. If there is evidence withheld or manipulated then a protest (not a riot) can be warranted and effective.
This crap is just emotional witch hunting that has the same validity as "come on, all black people are thugs you know it and I know it."
Yo, JJ, can I get one of those Hornets jerseys? :whistling:
Early Christmas in Charlotte this year.
