Washington (CNN) -- Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts said Republican nominee Donald Trump's assumption that drugs are a factor in her city's protests is "presumptuous."
"It's presumptuous for him to make conclusions like that without having thorough conversations with some of the folks who are here on the ground and are really aware of what's going on and what the reasoning is," she told CNN's Carol Costello on "Newsroom."
Multiple police officers and citizens have been injured this week during protests after the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by a police officer. Charlotte police say Scott was armed at the time he was fatally shot, but his family said he was reading a book in his vehicle when police officers approached and shot him.
Trump tied the eruption of violent protests to narcotics, telling a Pittsburgh crowd Wednesday that "drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night."

“We have a much better understanding than Mr. Trump,” she said.”
Judging from the carnage and mayhem I’d beg to differ with that.

I think it was Milwaukee or Ferguson riots too, but multiple reporters talked about marijuana.

Oh I’m sure the thuggies and the druggies see a riot going on and say “nah, I’m not getting involved, I’ll just stay home tonight”.
Yeah, suuuuuure.
White priviledge and the guilt of being white in America has ruled the day
Eugene Scott is a joke.
THIS IS JUST DUMP ON TRUMP TIME .. DON’T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THESE CLOWNS.
And that was just the media! ;)
Heard the protesters arrested over three quarters of them were form “OUT OF STATE” and there is a federal law on the books to arrest them
These people are doing such a great job running the cities. They give instructions to their police forces; (give) those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. If I was an incompetent big city mayor I would keep my mouth shut. And they think they are so much smarter than the average Joe.
Lord, that hag could eat corn through a picket fence.
Oy!
Idiots all
Debbie Wasserman Schultz has a sister?
She’s pulling a Hillary Clinton...
Instead of denying something is true, she’s using a variation of some famous Clinton dodge’s, like....
“There is NO evidence of that” or...
“That is never going to be proven” (bill’s dna on the blue dress)
