Protesters demonstrate in front of Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department Metro Division 2 just outside of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. In Charlotte, CMPD Metro Division 2 was home to CMPD officer, Wende Kerl, who shot and killed Danquirs Franklin outside of a Burger King on March 25, 2019. CMPD found that officer Kerl operated in the constraints of the law but later a citizen review board would find that the officers actions were not justified. No charges were ever brought.
