    Meet the black Charlotte police officer who shot Keith Lamont Scott
    We wrote here about Keith Lamont Scott and his long criminal record which includes assault convictions and gun offenses. But what about Brentley Vinson, the black police officer who fatally shot Scott?

    The Charlotte Observer provides this profile of Officer Vinson. From it, we learn that he grew up in Charlotte, was a football star in high school, and dreamed of becoming a police officer like his father.

    The jerkoff police chief says if a rioting mob stops you on the road lock your car and stay inside it....,

    Really that's the best you can come up with...?

    If you know Charlotte is a contested zone, don't even go in there.

    What gets me is there are large banks downtown that need staff to collect credit card payments each month from the entire Nation if not the Free World.

    I thought for sure the Home game Sunday would be changed to away. I see another spree of something happening since it's all right there.

    National Guard is out, Curfew from 12-6, Take the loop around Charlotte if just going through.. Carowinds closes at 11pm, so watch for that traffic...
