The Rev. Brian Thompson and his family were riding in his black Cadillac Escalade about eight years ago when a siren interrupted their Sunday afternoon drive.
Thompson, the pastor at Simon Temple AME Zion Church on Yadkin Road, had finished three church services that morning. The family had just stopped for ice cream and were headed down McPherson Church Road when the patrol car with two white police officers pulled him over.
The officers approached on each side of the SUV with their hands on their guns, Thompson said.

James Jordan, known to the world as the father of Michael Jordan, was murdered on July 23, 1993. He was also the father of James Jordan Jr., Delois Jordan, Larry Jordan, Roslyn Jordan and Ashlee Jordan. He was the husband of Deloris Jordan and shared the same blood as Esther Herring, Linda Jeffers, Robert Hankins and Gene Jordan. He was a Black businessman.
I am Daniel Andre Green. In 1996 I was wrongfully convicted of first-degree felony murder in the death of James Jordan. This is my testimony, a public letter to those who loved James Jordan and a call for help to anyone who believes in truth and reconciliation and who wishes to stand in defense of due process and equal protection of the laws.

“We believe in the possibility of having constructive bilateral relations while respecting our differences,” Mr. Diaz-Canel tweeted, while noting what he called the “new direction in the American election.”
Mr. Biden during the campaign suggested that Mr. Trump’s criticisms of repressive leftist regimes was correct, but his pressure policies have proven deeply counterproductive.
