I don't remember saying or even implying that i immediately did not believe the narrative coming from police in Charlotte...
Can you tell me more about what i immediately did?
Also, this immediate thing is gonna screw people up without some clarification... are we telling people about my immediate reaction to the actual shooting or just what i did immediately after i found out about the shooting? There was a lapse of about 2 hours between them i think and i don't want people accusing us of blurring the lines...
What i do believe, and what i said is that if unarmed black men stop getting shot by the police, i.e. Tulsa, then maybe when armed black men are shot by the police, i.e. Charlotte, no one will give a sh*t...
Just my pre-coffee, pre- cigar thought...
