Riots in North Carolina over shooting

Hasn't there been a demand for the video to be released? I'd say that was the reason.

 

So the public dictates what the police does?

 

They said they weren't going to release it. The chief already said the video does not show a gun in his hand. Why show the video and admit that you have other video that you're not releasing? You're fanning the fires.

I'd say they feel giving them something is better than nothing. Also wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the Chiefs idea to release the video. This is all politics.

Obviously, I think the erred. You only release it if is CLEARLY shows what you already stated happened.

 

And you either release all or you release none.

Demonstrators say they will try to block the Panthers and Vikings from entering the stadium.

That seems like the sensible move in this situation.

Have not seen the news in a couple of days. Are they still rioting?

Heck I might even join up.

BLM is strictly a police brutality movement. As I stated there have been thousands of groups all across America working to end black on black violence since the 1980s. Thousands.

Wasn't BLM born out of Trayvon Martin being shot? If so GZ wasn't a police officer.

I thought it emerged out of Ferguson.

Dang. Hoping it was over. But at least sounds like it is slowing down.

It has impact, correct? Otherwise what would the point of protests be?

I do agree with your later comment that they erred in releasing it though.

Wasn't thinking about this yesterday. If you stopped drugs from flowing into this country from external sources how would the black community react.

 

Short term I think the black communities would improve, long term I think it remains the same. People will just become more resourceful and introduce different types of drugs manufactured here in the USA.

 

If there's a need someone will step up and fill that need.

 

We can't mass produce cocaine and heroin at a rate to replace those products if they are no longer imported into the country.

Yes. That is its origin but after Ferguson their focus became police brutality.

Nah. It was the Trayvon Martin incident that sparked them. They blew up after Ferguson when their financial backing kicked in and their platform became more focused.
