Once again in the United States, it has happened: A police officer in Charlotte, North Carolina, shot and killed a disabled African-American man. The man, Keith Lamont Scott, was armed with nothing more than a book, according to his family.
Within moments of the shooting, Fox News posted this video on their Twitter feed:

And then it began: Hateful, violent, and racist comments from viewers who had seen the protesters on television or social media. Apparently some in this country think it’s wrong to be upset when cops shoot someone, especially when that person happens to be black:
Wonder how many of these reactionary and intolerant asshats are voting for Donald Trump. My guess is all of them.
