While the comment about needing weaves is rather silly, but her message is a good one. Burning down businesses in one's own community is senseless. They are destroying companies they patronize for their daily needs. It's kind of artless, but she's making a good point.
I agree that burning down businesses in one's own community is useless. But saying that they should go and burn down the suburbs instead is not a very good message to put out there.
that's a good question Moot and if he was carrying legally but I just heard on my local news (CBS) that he had dope and a gun. Now that would make things different. His wife is claiming he had no gun
so right now the facts are rather unsettled. last I checked you cannot carry a weapon (even if you possess it legally) if you are in possession of illegal narcotics. and if you point a gun at a cop, that's pretty much guaranteed to end up badly.
but if cops are harassing someone merely for carrying a weapon legally, then those cops ought to be in jail and crushed with civil judgements under either concept of constitutional torts
Point taken. I forgot about the alledged joint. Now I guess we have to wait for the autopsy.
Unless you're black. Then you don't need any gun at all.

Scott pulled in the parking lot and parked beside the UC's. He then rolled a blunt and started smoking it, which the officers saw and chose to ignore given that they were there to serve a warrant on a violent felon. Then Scott flashed his pistol at the UC's, so they pulled away, put their police vests on, because now Scott is an immediate threat to public safety with dope AND a gun. That's basically what happened. If they had just seen the dope, it would seem nothing would have happened. I can't say what would have happened if they had seen the gun but had not seen any dope. I do know, however, since I live here that CMPD respects open carry.
Also, WBTV 3 in CLT on their 11pm news cast just showed a still image from the cops body cam that showed the ankle holster on Scott before he was shot - on his right ankle. Here's a link, they may show it again - WBTV Newscast Live Stream - | WBTV Charlotte

In the turtle world, smoking herb would be legal so this entire mess would have been avoided
He open carried? Which is legal in North Carolina?
in this case, the person shot apparently had a gun and dope. so what relevance as your point?
That is the point. Having a gun is not a crime.

not if he was possessing dope and that is a federal law

Refusing to comply with lawful orders of a peace officer is.... doing so while armed is a REALLY dumb move....
Not for a convicted felon.

So you need guns because "tyranny" but must always listen to the government agents?
Open carry is legal in NC. Brandishing a weapon, which he did when he flashed the gun at the cops, is illegal in NC. Having a firearm in your possession while you are under the influence of drugs (even prescription pain killers) or alcohol is illegal in NC.

So federal law overruling state law doesn't bother you at all?
