Traffic will be stopped in all four lanes at the downtown point on the Cooper River Bridge, Mt. Pleasant-bound, at 4 p.m. today as activists stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matters Movement demanding an end to rampant systemic racism that is targeting and killing black people. The bridge shut down is a direct response to not only the murder of [Walter] Scott but to the long-standing racial profiling of North Charleston police of Black communities. We know that this is not just a local problem and is part of a widespread epidemic across South Carolina and the nation.

Looks like no one drives that bridge so who gives a shit?

It's going to be worthless in about an hour.

the other bridge to get into mount pleasant is already backed up.

The Eastbound lanes go to Mount Pleasant. Not Charleston or North Charleston. Idiots.

Accuracy.

Agreed, weird to go to a different city to protest - that would be like the folks in Ferguson going to the Arch in St. Louis to protest.

Also strange, no protests in Philly when the Black cop who was in a GameStop to buy his kid, who just made the honor roll, a Playstation as a reward was gunned down by two Black guys who popped into the store to rob it. Did his life not matter because he was wearing a badge?
