Young Charlotte Girl Breaks Down in Tears Calling for An End to Police Brutality

On Sept. 26, a young Charlotte, North Carolina girl weeps for the victims of police brutality during the city council citizens forum.

Last week, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police shot 43-year-old Keith Scott on Sept. 20 while searching for a man with outstanding warrants.

Since the shooting, the city has been overtaken by protesters demanding justice.

Young Charlotte resident Zianna Oliphant makes an emotional plea to the city council Monday night asking for change.

“It’s a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed, and we can’t even see them anymore,” Oliphant says as she cries. “It’s a shame we have to go to their graveyard.”
