I Didn't Even Know This was a Thing

"The officers were met with violence and hostility, with protesters throwing objects," the department said in its initial press release. "Over the course of several hours, the CEU gave multiple dispersal orders in English and Spanish and were again met with violence from protesters


The main languages spoken in Eritrea are Tigrinya, Tigre, Kunama, Bilen, Nara, Saho, Afar, and Beja. The country's working languages are Tigrinya, Arabic, English.

Could it be the protesters didn't understand the warning from the police.

 

Election year? We will probly never know

I had to look up Eritreans

 

Try reading something other than FOX..that would be a great start.

“Police in a news release identified the festival on Monroe Road as an “Eritrean cultural event.” The Charlotte Observer’s news partner, WSOC-TV, reported the protest was over international politics, with two groups at the scene: one supporting the government of the east African country of Eritrea, and another saying the country’s president is a brutal dictator.”

 

I don't think some people even need an "issue" these days. They ARE the issue.

 

I’m guessing Fox wanted it to sound worse than it was. Those cops in full riot gear were more than likely from another event. They’re also calling it a riot when perhaps they should have called it a peaceful open house.

It really wasn’t that big of a deal..bicycle cops showed up a couple got affected by their own pepper spray..sticks and stones etc.

Fact is most, taking the drama out of news stories doesn’t make money.

 

So......you wouldn't like "Irish republic" supporters to march in the St. Patrick's day parade? Or anti-Mafia groups on Columbus day? What about all those Ukrainian refugees in our country? We tried ignoring the rest of the world in the 1930's, and THAT didn't turn out well at all, did it?
