I agree though I imagine that some are definitely apprehensive when it's comes to releasing the video because they don't know how those protesting are going to react.

SBC. Suicide by Cop. No one has anything to hide and the officers didn't do anything wrong.

But, none of it matters as, it is always a no win situation, for everyone. Always was and always has been. It wasn't until our illustrious Clown in Chief started Monday morning and armchair quarterbacking in the aftermath of such incidents that the media all too willingly obliged and has committed themselves to fanning the flames to where we are now.

Suicide by Cop is now police brutality. Yeahhhhhhhh, righhhht.

Doesn't matter what reality is, just what and how we want to 'identify', from one moment to the next.

This is an ongoing investigation, both within CMPD and, I believe, a state investigation OF the CMPD. There may very well be valid reasons to not release the videos, yet. Valid reasons do not include "something to hide".

I believe that as far as our image, one can assume that the world thinks we have tons of morons, freaks, and idiotic leaders. But, the city looked good on the telecasts. It looked like a combination of tourists, LGBT, black panthers, and trash from other places instigating problems.

When Lakefront16 said "Clown in Chief" I assumed he meant Roberts.

FYI - The Queen City

"Nearly all of Charlotte lies in Mecklenburg County, which the U.S. Census Bureau estimated had the largest increase in the country in the percentage of people living in distressed neighborhoods during the first 15 years of this century — an index that combines unemployment, poverty rates and other items, like how many businesses close." - AP

Just curious, what part of Charlotte lies outside of Mecklenburg County?
