The state will now solidly go for Trump and that putz McCrory will get back in.

People rally around the worst strongmen when there is any sort of unrest, even when they live many miles away from it.

I think its way to soon to predict the impact. Hopefully the videos are made public relatively soon.

Cops seem to have gotten a sweetheart law passed that prevents the public from seeing the videos but it doesn't take effect until Oct 1 and probably will be thrown out at some point.

Cops are being really stupid about this one. The video could exonerate them just as easily as condemn them.

We're only 6 weeks out from election day. Everything that happens now can screw it up.
