There has been many instances in the news lately where police have been accused and viewed as racist towards black men. The most recent of these happened in Charlotte, North Carolina just yesterday on September 20th. This has caused major controversy and debates over the situation including key elements such as if he was armed or not. Police are looking for any way to justify the fatal shooting, but citizens of this community are convinced this shooting was not justified. The community is absolutely outraged and have began violently and verbally protesting the police of this area. This relates to politics in the way that public safety falls under the governments "scope" of what they are responsible for handling. This is a rising concern for citizens because it leads to questions of how much we can actually trust our policeman whose job is to protect us.
