A disabled black man murdered for picking up his child

[Trillfate]

North Carolina just passed a law that police don't have to release any body cam, or dash cam footage of confrontations with citzens, to the general public. It goes into effect October 1st.

They are saying that they will let the family view the video and that's it.

If dude had a gun they'd release the video to the public

Wasn't somebody shot and killed by another protester? It ain't just shouting obscenities. They are doing all that to make sure it doesn't progress. Also, believe it or not, they are better off with the national guard out there. If I'm not mistaken their use of force policy is more like the military than the police.

But what about black on black crime, niggas kill each other everyday and their is no national guard brought in they are there to protect white people and property not the protesters

the argument the cops use for not releasing video is that it is an invasion of both the public and the officers privacy. that is why they say police video should not be part of public record.

That is some bullshit because we pay our taxes do them so we need to know what they are doing with our money. The police will realize any trust black people have on the police (there is none left) will be gone. If you want some public trust show some transparency at least. And these are the same cops who will bitch and complain that the public is against them.

Charlotte Police Shooting Video Not ‘Definitive,’ Chief Says

The Charlotte police chief, with the city staggered by two nights of violent protests after the fatal police shooting of a black man, said Thursday that a video of the episode did not definitively show the victim, Keith L. Scott, pointing a gun.

The chief, Kerr Putney of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, said that while he had no plans to release the video of the shooting, he did intend to show it to Mr. Scott’s family, at their request.

“The video does not give me absolute, definitive, visual evidence that would confirm that a person is pointing a gun,” Chief Putney said at a news conference.

Chief Putney has said that Mr. Scott brandished a gun before an officer, who is also black, shot him, and on Thursday he said the video supported that version of events.

"When taking in the totality of all the other evidence, it supports what we’ve heard and the version of the truth that we gave about the circumstances that happened that led to the death of Mr. Scott,” Chief Putney said.

The chief said the department’s practice was not to release video to the public, to protect the integrity of investigations. And in this incident, he said, the case may soon be out of his hands.

“Even though we’re investigating, we probably won’t be long term,” he said, citing a request that the Federal Bureau of Investigation take over the inquiry. “I’m not going to release anything that would be on somebody else to release.”

What? That ain't even apples and oranges my nigga. That's apples and watermelons. We ain't talking some random killings that are part of some crime infested neighborhood. We're talking a high tension situation where you have a lot of people that are angry. That situation already has resulted in property damage and assaults, and now on top of all that someone has died. It's pretty much standard procedure to bring in the National Guard for shit like that.

And by the way, the National Guard has been called in before when street violence in a city went overboard. Ask Camden, NJ in the 90s.

True, but this is what many are talking about when they say people need to push policy changes, and to vote on issues effecting us. This law passed because people weren't paying attention. Hashtags and unorganized protesting won't do shit.

GOP Rep. Finds Obama’s Morgan Freeman Joke ‘Outrageous’ After Charlotte

President Obama joked about Morgan Freeman today and for some reason a Republican member of Congress found this offensive.

As the president honored roughly two dozen performers and artists for their contributions, including Mel Brooks and Audra McDonald, he joked that Freeman is “off playing a black president again.”

Obama added, “He never lets me have my moment.”

Well, leave it to politically correct liberals to get worked up over a joke. And by “politically correct liberals,” I mean a Republican member of Congress:
https://twitter.com/CongHuelskamp/status/779007475601305600

Yes, Tim Huelskamp finds it “outrageous” that Obama would joke about Morgan Freeman playing black presidents the day after rioting in Charlotte.

How dare Pres. Barry tell some unrelated joke about something.. Smh...
