CHARLOTTE – Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the following statement in response to recent incidents involving tear gas in Charlotte, Washington, D.C., and across the country:
"The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, as well as police departments across the country, should immediately and permanently end the use of tear gas. Weapons that are illegal in war should never be used on American soil, especially against our own people."
