'We are black people and we shouldn't have to feel like this': Nine-year-old girl's tearful plea to Charlotte council after police shooting of father-of-seven that sparked furious riots

A little girl has made a desperate plea to Charlotte city council in a bid to end the deadly cop shootings of black people.
Nine-year-old Zianna Oliphant broke down in tears as she delivered the powerful message to politicians after nearly a week of protests engulfed the North Carolina city.

Dozens of furious protesters packed City Hall on Monday to call for the mayor and police chief to resign and for his department to be held accountable following the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.



The father-of-seven's death at the hands of Officer Brently Vinson sparked days of demonstrations that turned violent and caused chaos.
'It's going to be rough in these streets until you give justice to our people,' said the Rev. Milton Williams, the final speaker, according to CNN. 'Our city's in an uproar, and you did not respond.'

I could remember Lester asking Trump and Hillary questions on colour and discrimination. Truth is, racism is a 21st century thing, either we accept it or otherwise. God help us.
