The City of Charlotte is run by Democrats, and has been for years and years. The Mecklenburg County government is run by Democrats - and has been for years and years. The police force is the “Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department” - a combined City/County entity so, effectively, is run by Democrats.

The current Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief (Kerr Putney) is black. The previous police chief (Rodney Monroe) was black. The officer who shot the decedent is black. The decedent is black, and had a gun. The decedent is also said to be an ex-felon, making his possession of a gun illegal. It was obviously a bad idea for him to brandish a gun when approached by police.

Now, despite all of this, my prediction is that the national media will decend upon Charlotte like locusts on crops. High-profile liberal activists will do so as well, including and especially BLM, Sharpton’s NAN, Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition, etc. You see, NC is a swing state - one the Dems have been pouring resources in for years and years. They are trying to turn it into another bullet-proof Blue state, like California, New York, or Massachusetts. With the election looming, they will (predictably) take this event well beyond the facts, and well beyond reason, because they need a catalyst to stimulate liberal voter turnout.

This new faux-outrage will be ON TOP of the recent decision of the 3-judge panel of liberal-activist-judges of the 4th District overturning the State’s voter ID law, and a separate judgement that the most recent redistricting was discriminatory. And the liberal media is still holding the State’s GOP-led legislature’s, and GOP Governor’s feet to the fire over HB2 (House Bill 2), protecting innocents’ privacy in bathrooms, locker-rooms, and other shared-use facilities historically segregated by biological gender.

The Dems play hardball. The GOP cowers under their desks. We really need someone like Trump, who will stand up to all this nonsense and reverse the tide.
