Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

This tidbit doesn't make much news. So apparently the officer was in plain clothes, and no doubt was in an unmarked car. Guess people just need to comply with orders from anyone.
Officers repeatedly told Scott to drop his handgun, the chief said, but he didn't. Officer Brentley Vinson, who is black, then shot him.
The chief said he was not certain whether Scott pointed his gun at officers. Vinson, who was in plain clothes

Apparently this is the brother of Keith Scott. He talks about the officer jumping out with plain clothes, so his brother would not know it was a cop. His further commentary would indicate that he was not an actual witness though, as he appears to be unaware that the cop was black.

I think that at some point, someone is going to decide that any interaction with a cop is a threat to their life, and act accordingly. Actually I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense.

Mom calls the cops on 3-year-old daughter over seat
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (CNN) – An Arizona mom went to the extremes to teach her 3-year-old the importance of seat belt safety.
Michelle Fortin’s daughter unbuckled her seat belt during a ride home, so her mom called the police.
Scottsdale Police officers took the opportunity to back up the mom’s message, driving home the importance of seat belts.
“I guess it was an extreme choice on my part to call the police, but I knew she was gonna remember it.”
Apparently, the plan worked, the little girl has promised it won’t happen again.

Martial law in effect in the corporate City of Charlotte. Curfew, military and state of emergency in effect. A very polite, civilized southern brand of martial law however

This.
And this.
We already know that's the case: cops shoot more white people than black people.
And this $#@! is only going to increase it even more.
The cops will take, or already have taken, an attitude of "$#@! those ni ggers, let them burn their $#@! down."
And they will then double down on the killing and beating and shakedowns of the stupid, weak, white folks in AmeriKa who go on licking the cop's $#@!s while standing at attention and singing about the "land of the free" in an open air prison.
Here's an interesting conspiracy theory. Could the Charlotte riots be manufactured by democrats to help Hillary?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-0...-out-state-ids
I've been watching the arrests.org mugshot site for Mecklenburg County and so far that 70% figure for protest related arrests doesn't stand up. They haven't posted the arrests from last night yet though, just the previous two nights. Some are not from Charlotte but most are local. The majority of non-local arrests are from neighboring areas of NC and SC with only a few from other states. Pretty much everyone arrested is from areas within a couple hour drive.

Yeah, I'm not much on conspiracies. I'm not sure the riots help Hillary anyway now that I think about it. White cops shooting blacks will probably help Hillary, but not the actual riots themselves. Just like terrorist attacks will help Trump. I think he got a big boost from those bombs last week. Especially after the democrats and the media tried to cover it up or at least downplay it.

All of this reminds me of an old song I liked as a kid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyYMXjmzjwQ
At the start of the video, which is not the start of the confrontation, we see that it is only unmarked vehicles and plain clothes cops. A marked vehicle with uniformed officers does show up, pretty much right before the shooting. Hard to say what the mental state of the victim was. Wife says TBI, and he just took his meds. Suicide by cop?

In bizarro world, some assisted suicides are more equal than others.
Suicide: if you need assistance, it's probably not your thing.
On a serious note, there are all kinds of stats about how many people are killed by cops. When you start looking at them individually, it seems that a lot of them are suicide by cop.

"Suicide by cop" is a meme that I have seen more often recently. It's used to discount facts. It drives a narrative. "Suicide by cop" coupled with "Cop feared for their life" equals justusfide. I'm not saying that it can't happen. That it doesn't happen. But just because someone might be having an interaction with meds doesn't mean they want to be "suicided."
I'm very much on conspiracies but that 70% interview and follow-up articles reek of trying to keep people from joining the protests under concern of "being associated with out-of-state criminals" and "Soros". I'm going to the protests today, mostly in observer mode. Seems like not much can get Americans off their asses to march for much of anything so may as well take in the experience while it's there. On RPF, we've been talking about cops blasting people for YEARS so at least people are marching for something that we've been talking about! Can't get anyone to protest the Fed or never-ending wars or taxes out the wazoo...
