Clinton to visit Charlotte Sunday
The Hill ^ | 9/23/2016 | Mark Hensch

Hillary Clinton is taking a break from debate prep to visit the site of a fatal police shooting.

Clinton on Sunday will visit Charlotte, N.C., where police killed a black man earlier this week, NBC News reported.

Protests erupted on the streets of the city in the wake of his death.

The trip is Clinton's only scheduled campaign travel before the first 2016 presidential debate Monday night at Hofstra University in New York.

On Tuesday, officer Brentley Vinson fatally shot Keith Lamont Scott, 43, during a confrontation at an apartment complex as the police were searching for another man.

Cellphone video taken by Scott’s wife emerged earlier Friday, showing police shouting at Scott to drop a weapon as the woman pleads with them not to shoot and saying that he is unarmed and has a traumatic brain injury.

Clinton earlier Friday called for police video of Scott’s death to be made public.

Charlotte’s police chief said Thursday his department would not publicly release the video.

“We release it when we believe it’s a compelling reason, but I’m not going to jeopardize the investigation,” Kerr Putney said in a news conference.

Multiple incidents like Scott’s shooting this year have stirred national debate over the relationship between law enforcement and minority communities.

The day before the debate. She wants to get a look at the damage her media helped create for her.

I’m sure it’ll be a massive success. The media will be sure to say so.

BLM is a evil corrupt stage managed political operation designed to scare minorities into voting for Hillary Clinton ti “save them”. Once the election is done they will vanish just like the Occupy Wall Street clowns did.

Watch how pathetically obsequious the media will be for this bit of political Kabuki Theater.

Probably a good bet because she sure as hell isn't getting anywhere near the people rioting.

Politics - Politics - Politics That is all she knows. This is all she cares about. Checkin’ out her peeps on the plantation, but never caring about them after the cotton is picked.

If she did maybe we’d finally be rid of her.

For a cherry on the top, she should use her black accent.

She is going to try and whip up some more violence, deplore white racism (never mind that it was a black police officer, and black police chief) and try and make sure that no blacks escape the plantation and vote for Trump.
