I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. We are not so brave as to identify the race and method of the killing. I don't understand the refusal to restrict guns in the city, at least. Soooo much killing.

There is no way that a cell phone resemble a gun.the officers whi did the shooting knew exactly what he was doing.If it had been a white boy the circumstance would been completly different.But its not all about the officers,the young men in this area are the blame also.The so-called gang members would not even think or you could not pay these knuckle-heads to go to Beverly-hills,or Brentwood to do the things they do in the poorest section of town.What should be done is to send all 18-to-29 year olds to Iraq or Korea asap for summer vacation.G-d bless the loved ones we allways leave behind.I wonder when is the car wash going to be held at? because his so-called friends don't have a penny to help put the brother in the ground.THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!
