N&R’s Inside Scoop on Greensboro City Council member Sharon Hightower’s emotional speech the council’s discussion and debate over HB 972—-the police video camera bill:

Hightower said that over the weekend, her stepson, who also is black, was pulled over by the police. Her stepson, Hightower said, posted the encounter in real-time on Facebook so there would a record.

Hightower had to wipe away tears from her cheek.

Scoop may have had a few of her own.

No bias there from the N&R’s city government beat reporter.
