After Keith Lamont Scott, an African-American man, allegedly refused to drop his gun and was subsequently fatally shot by a black officer on Tuesday afternoon, violent rioters took to the streets to ravage the city of Charlotte, North Carolina—for “justice,” of course.
Thus far, during the supposed struggle for “justice,” trucks and establishments have been looted, arson committed, media members’ vehicles and cop cars destroyed, a reporter assaulted on-air, at least one civilian shot—currently on life support—and at least 16 officers have been reportedly injured.
