A police officer in Shelby, North Carolina, has been charged with assault after a viral video captured on a home security camera showed him wrestling a Black woman to the ground and repeatedly punching her.
Let me tell you a story about Shelby. 30 years ago my college D&D group went to the DM’s house in Shelby to play over the summer. The house was downtown and while we are sitting on the screened in porch smoking cigar and having a beer a Klan rally goes by and we all said what the fuck. The DM said. " THAT’S Shelby!!" He later married a Norwegian woman and moved to Norway. I considered him lucky.
Jesus Christ. The only other place in NC like that is Denton, way south of High Point. I think they still have the signage up for calling itself a “sundown town.”

The best part about Shelby is that there will soon™ be a bypass so that it takes even less of my time on 74
