There have been five shootings by police in Chattanooga and the surrounding area this summer, and the local NAACP held a community meeting to answer questions and concerns. They are conducting an independent investigation into the police conduct in each case. The preacher in the second photo introduced the word "murder" into the conversation to describe actions taken by the police in each instance. Then someone accused the spokesperson for the police department of forsaking the community and her faith to lie on behalf of the police department, since she is on their payroll. Another officer had to restrain her, and the NAACP president tried to regain control of the room. The final image is the mother of a 15-year-old boy who was shot in the back by police officers two weeks ago. No one seemed to leave with any sense of having resolved the issue.
