CMPD Chief Kerr Putney said officers encountered the suspect in the store. When he refused to drop his weapon, at least one officer fired their service weapon and shot him. The suspect died after being rushed to a hospital.
 
What time are the riots?
The article says ...
There are at least two dozen people at the scene gathered in a make-shift protest as of noon Monday. WBTV’s Bria Bell interviewed a woman at the scene who doesn’t believe the person shot had a weapon.

Make-shift ... so I’m guessing the tweeter accounts are running the scheduling and the head people are coordinating for the best time to start so the looting can be most effective also. The library is a couple hundred yards south of that Burger King ... wonder if that will be the “bonfire distraction” so they can loot the Family Dollar, CVS and Food Lion a quarter mile further down.

Now in all seriousness ... it ain’t gonna go good from the initial media stirrings. This is kinda sorta type area of the 2016 Scott shooting and most will remember that crap and the “release the video” demands. Glad I’m not heading to Charlotte in the near future. You guys in the area keep your head on a swivel and watch for “interstate blockade rushes”.
 
I need to hurry up and get an upper for the pstol lower I just got! I'm in that area quite often for work.
 
One report from a "witness" said an armed man entered the BK Lounge and assaulted a female employee. Witness said the altercation appeared to be a domestic dispute. Several 911 calls were made and the po po rolled up, confronted the armed man and they shot him dead. End of story. Play stupid games. Win stoopid prizes.

      Councilman Braxton Winston saying that about uncertainty with the shooting and questions about surrounding the shooting and the community should learn the truth. Sounds like he is trying to incite something and if his language does that he should be held personally responsible.

      So the wrong person was shot and killed?

They can't catch a break.
 
Sounds to me like a baby daddy baby momma drama and another person who doesn't understand the meaning of, "Drop the gun!" Go waving a gun around inside a crowded restaurant and then ignore commands from police when they arrive might make for a bad day?
 
So $3.00 or less in ammo saved the taxpayers $100K in legal costs and incarceration.
Don’t forget to factor in the OT for LEOs to deal with the protesters and possible riot. Then the NCHP having to deal with the idiot protestors who try and shutdown I-85. But the worst ... the civil side of a wrongful death suit from the guy’s baby-mama or other family members. Sorry to say it but taxpayers ain’t gettin’ off that cheap.
 
"DROP THE GUN!!" How complicated is that?? Had he done as instructed he'd be alive, in jail, but alive.... Idiot....
Must have had a fantasy of being shot in the leg and then living to lawsuit about it.

Gonna play devils advocate here since my wife and I were talking about that. There seem to be several narratives. Pretty sure the 911 call was for an armed man. Witnesses claim he was unarmed. LE said he was getting something out of his pocket. We have seen multiple issues with bad commands given in other shootings. If you put the gun in your pocket, then are told to drop the gun, what do you do? If you are LE and you see someone pulling a gun out of their pocket, what do you do?

Guy is a moron. I won't loose any sleep over it. But I could see a scenario where all the witnesses and LE are "right in their statements" and this guy still gets shot.

He wouldn't even be in jail overnight.

I trust those witness about as much as the Ferguson witnesses.
 
No video, no opinion.

That’s a lie. I’ll believe that the police on scene made the best decision they could with the time and information available to them until there is reliable evidence to the contrary.
 
Hard to tell to Me if he was moving his hand to drop it or point it at the occupant of the car.

What the hell was he doing to begin with? Normal people don't hang around Burger King parking lots down on their knees with guns in their hands.

He was threatening his baby mama and her boyfriend that both worked at BK by waving a gun around. Several customers made 911 calls on him.
