September 24, 201610 yr We now know the source Erin Burnett from CNN used for the "70% out of state" report. The FOP spokesperson said he didn't quote facts and it was just a guess on his part.
September 24, 201610 yr Differing reports. CNN reported what you heard. Charlotte Observer said they looked at the arrest records and found just the opposite i.e. 70% were local. Amazing how 2 sources can be so far removed. And we actually believe what these folks have to say.
September 24, 201610 yr Amazing how 2 sources can be so far removed. And we actually believe what these folks have to say. See the above post. Two different sources, told two different networks, two different things.
September 24, 201610 yr Amazing how 2 sources can be so far removed. And we actually believe what these folks have to say. There was only one source. FOP guy. Newspaper then looked at actual arrest records.
September 24, 201610 yr There was only one source. FOP guy. Newspaper then looked at actual arrest records. One guy spinning the news the way he wanted folks to hear it. The other actually looking at something. Sounds like my marketing department.
September 24, 201610 yr One guy spinning the news the way he wanted folks to hear it. The other actually looking at something. Sounds like my marketing department. Or a lazy network reporter from out of town takes the word of an FOP leader as the authority and reports it as fact. Local reporter know who to really get the truth from and gets the accurate report.
September 24, 201610 yr Is it still shocking that 30% of those arrested were from out of state or the local area? Are they opportunistic criminals, looking for a place to riot and loot. Being arrested I'm guessing they weren't peacefully protesting.

The greater Charlotte area crosses a state border much as the greater Cincy area.
September 24, 201610 yr I love the whole "outside agitators" argument. Sounds like pre-Civil Rights Act Mississippi.

September 24, 201610 yr I love the whole "outside agitators" argument. Sounds like pre-Civil Rights Act Mississippi. Not questioning out of area protesters, questioning out if area looters and law breakers that were arrested.
September 24, 201610 yr Yes, my understanding was that local included that area as well. Probably not. The definition of local to the police data was probably just that. It didn't include Rock Hill and SC neighbors because the aren't within their jurisdiction.
September 25, 201610 yr Not questioning out of area protesters, questioning out if area looters and law breakers that were arrested. That begs a question: How logical is it that people would be travelling around the country looking to incite riots just for the purpose of looting?
