NAACP Legal Defense Fund: ‘Charlotte Should Definitely Take a Page from the Playbook of Tulsa’

‘You look to Charlotte and we see nothing but a blatant disrespect, frankly for the feelings and concerns of the community that’s truly raw and outraged’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
NELSON: "Well, Charlotte should definitely take a page from the playbook of Tulsa. We can see a significant contrast in how it’s playing out in both cities. In Tulsa you had immediate recognition that there was a potential concern in how the police handled the issue. You had immediate release of the footage, immediate engagement with the community and leadership by the police chief, elected officials in recognizing that this is a matter of great concern to the Tulsa community and that they ought to be responded to and engaged. It was respectful and it was responsive. You look to Charlotte and we see nothing but a blatant disrespect, frankly for the feelings and concerns of the community that’s truly raw and outraged by what appears to be very significantly competing stories about what took place with Mr. Scott."
