North Carolina: Police attack peaceful marchers heading to vote

Latest

Scott Huffman, Candidate and Navy Vet

 
“I am running for Congress here in [North Carolina] and my eyes are full of pepper spray … we were peacefully demonstrating. . . exercising our first amendment rights with Black Lives Matter [in a march to the polls.] And I witnessed what’s happening all over America. People should be allowed to vote … The police work for us yet I witnessed pepper spray, chemical weapons sprayed on my fellow Americans. If we don’t stop this mess, our country is going to fall apart . . . exercise your right to vote! This should not be happening. I have three children. Children here got pepper sprayed. This is horrible . . . Black Lives Matter! And all lives won’t matter until we stop this. I mean it. I urge my Republican opponent to finally stand up to these white supremacists, these neo-Nazis and stand for America. (Excerpts from Scott Huffman’s Twitter video) See more on P. 10.
