it was the leader of the Fraternal Order of Police for the CMPD.  he said this on CNN a few nights ago and I don't imagine he would be saying this if he was just talking out of his ass.  

He actually was talking out of his ass. He recanted that statement yesterday.

actually that's exactly what he was doing. he came out later and said "he wasn't quoting facts" and the Observer researched it and found they were nearly all from in state.

Quote

Of the 43 people arrested late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, 34 – or 79 percent – live in Charlotte, the Observer found. Most of the others live elsewhere in North Carolina, including Albemarle, Gastonia and Greensboro. Three others were arrested Thursday night; of those, two were from Charlotte and the third had not been identified by midafternoon Friday.

Well.........you see............  in total percentage........there are more white people than any other people in our country.......so.....the value of white lives is lesser than the lives of others.                              White people need to look at their families.......and explain to them how our nation views their lives as ...........nothing,   simply due to the color of their skin.

As soon as a protest becomes violent, that's when the national media wants to cover it. They don't show peaceful protests.

This is so true. Thats why I believe that the media agitates the drama too. The night before national media started covering this, it wasn't violent to my understanding. The media wants you to believe that we're all out here rioting and looting and burning down the city. Then there's some millennials who think this behavior is okay. All of that takes away from the cause.

I'm not a religious person but I truly am praying today that no one gets hurt. That would be so tragic.

Protests about racial inequality? Check

Discussion about peaceful protesting? Check

Reactions to violent protests? Check

Trying to have a national discussion about the effects of systemic and institutional racial injustice? Check

Seems like a pretty apt comparison minus the unifying national leader.

You're telling me this isn't violent?
