US-POLITICS-POLICE-JUSTICE-RACISM

A demonstrator confronts police as demonstrators gather along the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, May 29, 2020. – The protest was sparked by protests in Minneapolis, over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white policeman kneeled on his neck for several minutes. In Charlotte, CMPD Metro Division 2 was home to CMPD officer, Wende Kerl, who shot and killed Danquirs Franklin outside of a Burger King on March 25, 2019. CMPD found that officer Kerl operated in the constraints of the law but later a citizen review board would find that the officers actions were not justified. No charges were ever brought.
