Black man shot by cop, black community throws tantrum

From CNN:

Violent protests erupted overnight in Charlotte, North Carolina, after a police officer fatally shot one man while serving a warrant for a different person at an apartment complex. 

Police say the man they shot had a gun; his family members say he was carrying a book.
Several hundred people gathered outside the complex Tuesday night, chanting "no justice, no peace!" and carrying signs reading "Black Lives Matter."

The Charlotte case is the latest shooting involving an officer, and racial tensions are high nationwide following a spate of others. Last week's fatal shooting of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma, sparked protests after video of the killing appeared Monday. Protesters have been demanding justice and an end to police brutality for months.

In Charlotte, police went to serve a warrant Tuesday and shot and killed a man in the parking lot of The Village at College Downs apartment complex in the University City neighborhood. 

Mayor Jennifer Roberts identified the slain man as Keith Lamont Scott. 

Scott was not the person authorities were looking for, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said. 

Scott died at Carolinas Medical Center. A gun he was holding was found at the scene, police said. 

Family told CNN that Scott was a father of seven and was sitting in the car reading a book when officers arrived on the scene.'

Dare we call this what it is?

On the same day that a black man gets shot by police, a crowd of black people (you can label me racist later) decides the account of the family of the dead man (who may or may not have been present at the actual scene, and who are clearly biased in favor of the dead man) is more accurate than the account from police. Naturally, this crowd of black people decides to start a riot to protest police brutality based on threadbare evidence.

Mind you, I am not saying the police shooting wasn't an act of police brutality. I am saying that a riot makes the assumption it is.

I am saying this crowd of black people is acting prematurely. I will also go so far as to call this what it is: This riot is the act of a bunch of spoiled rotten overgrown children. They didn't like what happened, so they are throwing a collective tantrum.
