"why aren't the DEMOCRATS that are in control of Charlotte doing what needs to be done? " A republican governor is in charge, a republican governor's police force is in charge of the case and is holding the evidence, and a republican governor's law won't let them do more. If that seems like a lot of R guvs, it's just one; the same guy who cost NC the NBA and the NCAA moneymaker games due to his bathroom policy. Thanks for asking. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Protesters who have filled the streets to push for the release of video of a fatal police shooting could see their task get much harder if Charlotte authorities do not share the footage within a week. A North Carolina law that takes effect Oct. 1 will declare that the video is not a public record and that only a judge can release it, potentially making the issue far more complicated than if police simply shared the footage on their own. The law passed by the state's GOP-controlled Legislature runs counter to a nationwide trend in which some cities are trying to show greater transparency by releasing videos soon after a shooting. live5news.com in a statement on Friday, Jennifer Roberts, the mayor of Charlotte, pressed the state’s Bureau of Investigation to speed up its efforts to release the police recordings. “I urge it to use every resource at its disposal to get this done, and release the information to the public as quickly as possible,” she said. nytimes.com Why do Dems approve of riots? Because they don't, but R's like to pretend they do.
