Charlotte, N.C., erupted into a riot Tuesday night after hundreds of people gathered to protest the fatal shooting of a black man. According to police, officers were serving a warrant when they encountered Keith Lamont Scott in his car. Police say Scott got out of his car with a gun and was shot because he posed an immediate threat.
But, according to demonstrators on the scene and supporters online, Scott was a disabled man who was simply holding a book and was no threat when he was gunned down. Soon after the shooting, people began to gather, and they soon swelled to a crowd of hundreds and began clashing with riot police.
We out like the Taliban! one rioter could be heard crying on a Facebook Live broadcast of the protests, shortly after tear gas canisters were fired into the crowd. After 11 p.m., the situation grew more severe, with several people successfully trashing a police SUV.
We aint playin no motherfuckin games, nigga! another demonstrator yelled on the Facebook broadcast, trying to fire up other protesters.
This aint no one-day action! another cried. This is the first time people standing up!
Ironically, the police officer responsible for shooting Scott, Brentley Vinson, is also a black man.

Not much difference, if any, between Taliban terrorists and America's negroes. They shouted 'We like Taliban', then they should be treated like Taliban America's Mau Maus on yet another rampage. Police should shoot rioters and looters and then this would stop. Hillary went on black radio, without the facts, and said police shot an unarmed black man with his arms up. Fact is, he was armed and ignored orders. Police shot when they felt their life was in danger. Hillary, unfit for office, starting riots by pandering to BLM and spreading rumors.
