NC Governor's official statement

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Sep 21 '16, 09:55

“I’ve been in conversations with the mayor and other city officials since early this morning. We will do everything we can to support the mayor and the police chief in their efforts to keep the community calm and to get this situation resolved. It’s very important that we all work together as a team to solve a very difficult issue and to bring peace and resolution. My prayers are with the Scott family and also our law enforcement, especially the 16 police officers who were injured last night. As governor I’m going to do everything I can to support the entire city leadership in their effort to resolve this situation.”

        nobody lives in a vacuum. if we all don't collectively agree to deal with this problem, then none of us have the moral authority to complain - mr monkey Sep 21, 10:10 1
