Another protest, and now tear gas!

Another protest tonight about the Jesus Huerta case. WRAL is reporting things went badly. Protesters gathered at the CCB plaza and marched to Police HQ. Police formed a line and turned the protesters around and went back to the CCB plaza. Back at the CCB plaza, some protesters got rowdy and police used tear gas.

Friends, this is not good. Young Huerta was no choir boy, but there need to be answers about how and why he died of a gun shot wound while handcuffed in the back of a police car. Seven years ago, Durham Police participated in the largest criminal hoax in NC and it badly stained their reputation. This year, it's just as bad. Don't they learn? Get an investigation going, release details and if necessary, call in the DA. But, delaying information only makes the situation worse, not better.
