Following the meeting, she released the following statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with the Scott family and our entire city. The events taking place on our streets tonight are heartbreaking. But, like far too many other mothers and grandmothers of black children can tell you—this problem did not start tonight in Charlotte. I share their pain, anger and frustration. We need answers and we need justice, but neither will come through violence. We must work together to ensure the process is swift, just and transparent. That begins with actions like releasing the video and calling for transparency, accountability and collaboration. Charlotte can come together and end up stronger than ever but it has to start tonight.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
