CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police video released Monday shows an officer in Charlotte, North Carolina, fatally shooting a man who was armed but didn't point his weapon at authorities.
He lowers his hand right around the time when the first of two shots by the officer can be heard on the video."Shots fired!" the officer yells into her radio. About 40 seconds had passed from the time the officer exited her cruiser to when Franklin was shot. Corine Mack, president of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg NAACP chapter, summed up her reaction to the video in four words:"Hurt, disgust, anger, frustration." But she said anyone who chooses to protest in response to the release should do so peacefully.
Robert Dawkins of Safe Coalition NC said violence and taking to the streets won't solve anything, and he doesn't anticipate it happening.
