Because of course they do. These little Social Justice Warriors always have their list of demands. And it’s a real hoot that this always seems to be a bunch of leftists making a list of demands for Democrats who are in charge of the areas where things have gone wrong. Like in Charlotte
(Heat Street) Protesters in Charlotte have released a list of demands they say must be met before they allow the city to return to peace and quiet.
It’s quite a wish-list. Among the requests: a complete “demilitarization†of the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police force (including the “immediate return of all military equipmentâ€; “defunding†the CMPD’s $250 million budget; a citizen oversight board from “communities most impacted by policing and incarceration†that can fire officers; and reparations for Keith L. Scott’s family “as well as the families of those who have been killed.â€
It is quite a list. They want all those arrested during the “uprising” released immediately and all charges dropped. We assume they include those involved in arson, assault, vandalism, breaking and entering, and theft. Oh, and what about the guy arrested for murdering another protester? Is he included for release and dropped charges? Of course, because these special snowflakes think a police officer shot and killed Justin Carr.
7. THE RELEASE OF ALL THE NAMES OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE KILLING OF KEITH L. SCOTT TO THE PUBLIC FOLLOWED BY THEIR FIRING, ARREST AND PROSECUTION
So much for due process. They’re basically a lynch mob.
9. COMMUNITY CONTROL OF THE POLICE, STARTING WITH THE CREATION OF A CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT BOARD THAT HAS THE POWER TO HIRE AND FIRE OFFICERS, DETERMINE DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS AS WELL AS DICTATE POLICE POLICIES, PRIORITIES, AND BUDGETS. THE BOARD SHALL NOT INCLUDE POLICE REPRESENTATION AND WILL BE CONTROLLED BY COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY POLICING AND INCARCERATION IN CHARLOTTE.
Well, there’s a great idea. Let’s put the people who have the most violence in their communities in charge of the police who have to attempt to stop the violence in the most criminal communities.
Seriously, why do Democrat Party voters in a Democratic Party run city have so many problems with how the city is run by Democrats? It’s almost like Democratic Party policies first create the conditions of criminality, poverty, and violence.
Unsurprisingly, they are now starting to mix all their other gripes into the mix. Among the events planned for Monday the 26th, we get
Black fast food workers in Charlotte are going on strike tomorrow to protest poverty wages and police brutality and will be marching over to do a speak out in front of the police station at 5:30pm @ 601 E Trade Street.
I wonder how many will be fired for blowing off work? It’s not like they can’t be replaced in a heartbeat.
Barak Obama’s Legacy. Progressivism in action.
Or should I say communism in action.
I think its a great Idea….the cities should give the black community their own police stations and their own police chief and their own funding.
Then watch the chaos and carnage ensue.
99.99 percent of all police interactions happen with little to NO incident….the .01 percent that happen with incident of that .01 percent….99.99 percent result in no bodily injury……the .01 percent that result in shootings at least more then half of those are races other then blacks.
The FBI has released the statistics….this is just a George Soros drummed up Saul Alinsky tactic………
As the mayor of Chicago said when he was Obama’s chief of staff….never let a good crisis go to waste………
Saul Alinksy in action….In this case they are trying Cloward and Piven as well on Charlotte….its a new strategy as just Alinsky did not work as intended in other places.
