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."

Black Lynch-Mobs Matter
Hmmm...I wonder why Mr Trump would bring up drugs out of thin air like that, when there are so many other “presumptuous” things he could have said.
He knows something.
They do not make beer goggles that thick in this country.
Woof!
They were smoking MJ in all those videos of the riots. Right in front of the police. Of course the place smelled of it.
The mayor is a moron. She’s the one who pushed for men in the shower. I’m trying to get a good look at her Adam’s Apple.
Notice almost ALL of the white people marching in Charlotte have backpacks. None of the blacks do. Rent A Mob.
They didn’t want to leave their backpacks on the bus. Guarandamntee it.
Just saw easily 50+ white people . . . all with backpacks . . . marching in the footage on Megyn just a few minutes ago. Noticed ZERO blacks with backpacks.
How weird is that?
Not weird at all.
The chubby white girls are there to find a boyfriend. Maybe just for the night.
Look at the white protesters. The gals are chubby and covered in tats. What else are they going to do on a Friday night. Get on Free Republic? I don’t think so.

Actually, it is presumptious to assume it’s a “her.”
The smoke from burning hemp hangs over ghettos like the fog in London...and the mayor thinks drugs are not a factor.
