The situation in Charlotte is the latest B.S. we are being forced to live through, in this case to be seen as “Blame Shifting”!

The Left leaning press, ever so worried about their image, refuses to ask the obvious tough questions allowing the situation to worsen. The deceased victim’s wife can be heard screaming to the police, on her very own recording of the situation, that her husband did not have a gun. She’s heard to be telling her husband to “Don’t do it”!

Don’t do what? The deceased was found to be wearing an ankle holster. Was that where he was carrying his cigarettes because he was wearing a pocketless t-shirt?

As it turns out he is a felon who was in possession of a gun. Repeat that, a felon in possession of a gun. He is not a saint to whom two miracles can be attributed.

Where was Black Lives Matter back when that mother of four, Nykea Aldridge, was shot and killed while walking her newborn infant child in Chicago recently? Do black lives only matter in cases where the deceased was killed by a police officer and not another person of color?

Charlotte (Keith Lamont Scott), Tulsa (Terence Crutcher), Ferguson (Michael Brown) and beyond all would not be subjects in the news if only the deceased had listened to and done exactly what the police were telling them to do! It’s all B.S.!
