In Charlotte, any event that is going to block a street, lane, sidewalk, or street crossing requires a permit. However, if the protest will not block any of the above, a permit is not required BUT a "Picketing Notice" must be submitted to the CMPD to ensure that the city has adequate police resources available. Also, note that if amplified sound equipment is to be used (such as a bull horn), then an "Amplified Sound Permit" must be requested.
With that said, I'm not sure if the event actually required a permit because I don't know if the peaceful protest it started out as blocked any streets.
Look at how the story is designed to mislead: It could say "fatal shooting by a black man", but it doesn't because the purpose is not to convey information. The purpose is to incite racial hatred by blacks against whites.
I am struck by how differently things are going in Tulsa versus Charlotte. Tulsa is arguably a much more egregious violation - even outright murder but things are overall peaceful. The difference seems to be that the authorities in Tulsa have been open about what happened while Charlotte, even today, appears to be covering up for their police under the old protection of the evidence ruse. When people see the brutality of the police all people both white and of color come together in disgust and demand a full accounting. The community unites and empathy takes over. When the local authorities circle the wagons, it simply fuels anger.
you said.... "the old protection of the evidence ruse"
Really, so the cop should automatically be convicted just because the guy who was shot is black? wow.
Not with that response, you clearly are not educated, or not able to comprehend what I posted.
So, you agree that you are wrong....that you do need a permit in NC and if you don't have one, what do you have to do to be legal? I gave you the answer, will you admit you're wrong?

Q. If organizers have not obtained a permit, where can a march take place?
A. If marchers stay on the sidewalks and obey traffic and pedestrian signals, their activity is constitutionally protected even without a permit. Marchers may be required to allow enough space on the sidewalk for normal pedestrian traffic and may not maliciously obstruct or detain passers-by.

You do not have to inform anyone. Protests can be spur of the moment random things. Places can enforce noise ordinance's.
Places have enacted laws but they are legally worthless.
What link? Please refer to your post number where the link is or explain your thoughts on how police should determine if use of force is appropriate when faced with someone holding a gun. You seem, in many posts, to be saying that police should not act when someone has a gun because they are then infringing on the person's Constitutional Right to bear arms. So if that's truly your view, when confronted with someone waving a gun around the police should just walk away. Now if the person starts shooting others, I assume you'd be OK with the police acting at that point. Right?
You keep refusing to answer a direct question and hiding behind cryptic posts like "unclear". BTW, if the link is to some website, not really interested. I want to hear your take on how you believe police should draw the line not something from some website.
