Where the hell is our President? Why can't he issue a statement appealing for peace? I am a huge Obama supporter but have been so disappointed with the way he has handled the whole BLM movement. This is the stuff Trump dreams about.

Finally, the have called in the National Guard.

This! Bring in the National Guard. Use FORCE! These cities are under seige, war zones. These rioters are criminals, thugs and lowlifes terrorizing innocent people. They looted, cleaned out the NBA Charlotte Hornets store, Walmart, trashing and burning everything in sight, including their fellow man.

How does acting like what the "racists" say they are advance their cause? It doesn't! In fact, it breeds even more disrespect and contempt. Bring in the fire hoses, riot gear and lock them all up. I am done with this scene playing out in every city where a black man gets shot. They don't even wait for the truth to come out either way before they piillage plunder and steal.

They want complete anarchy. Black police chief, black cop. This is asinine. Watch Trump's polls jump.overnight. People of all races are sick of it!!!!

Check the threads about Colin Kaepernick and you will see there is not a whole lot of tolerance for peaceful protest either.

If enough people protest peacefully opinion will sway.

Destroying property, killing, threatening. Not going to get your grievances heard.

Whatever happened to peaceful protests and exercising our First Amendment right?

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Yesterday the protest was very violent. Today the protest is very violent. These are riots, not protests.

News stations are now saying the person who was shot is not deceased, he is in critical condition.

My God. That is horrific.

What makes a human being fall so far from humanity?

An investigation can figure it out. A protest can encourage an investigation. A riot is unlawful and unnecessary, and won't get them to the place they want to go.

And this is regarding Keith Lamont Scott.
That's why the riot began, so you could say. Someone above was confused.

A man who was holding a gun and warned repeatedly to drop it before being shot.

I wish the focus would be on ACTUAL cases of police misconduct and not on cases like these.

You believe everything every cop days???!
Didn't u just read about the cop in St Louis, planted the gun and said he was going to kill the victim when he started chasing him!!!!

There are photos of the gun and the holster. No book around.

Because they are rioters. They aren't there for a cause. They don't care about children in poverty or high incarceration of black men or fatherless children or cops shooting blacks.

They care about looting and hurting and destroying like the thugs they are.

If they wanted change they would march to their government buildings. They would stage a sit in. They would call for real change in their community.
