Dozens of protesters marched through the streets of Charlotte on Sunday, for the sixth day running following the fatal police shooting of a 43-year-old black man named Keith Lamont Scott. The National Guards as well as police were deployed to secure the area, including a helicopter, riot police on buses, as well as officers on bicycles and golf cars. At least one person was arrested during the peaceful protest and activists were forced to march on the sidewalk as they made their way to the city centre.
Footage released courtesy of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on Saturday from the dashboard camera of one of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police vehicles shows the scene of the fatal shooting of 43 year old Keith Lamont Scott, in Charlotte on Tuesday. The video runs from the car's arrival on the scene to the officers rendering first aid to Scott who is out of sight on the ground having been shot by an officer.
Citizens of Charlotte continued to take to the streets in response to the fatal police shooting of unarmed African American Keith Scott on Tuesday after a week of protests have rocked the city after the release of full police dash-cam and body-cam footage of Lamont’s death. A march and a candlelight vigil were held to honour the deceased 43-year-old, as well as protester Justin Carr, who was shot dead during demonstrations against Scotts’ killing in unconfirmed circumstances. The previous scale of protests and riots in response to the shooting prompted North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory to deploy the National Guard and declare a state of emergency, which has since been rescinded.
Bodycam footage provided courtesy of the Limestone Police Department shows the nail-biting moment when firefighter Scott Patten was blown clear off his feat by an unexpected explosion while responding to a blaze in Limestone, Maine on Thursday. Scott received first and second degree burns to his face and head due to the explosion but has since been released from hospital, surviving the epic blast to tell his unreal tale.
Footage released by the Fresno police department on Wednesday show police officers fatally shooting an unarmed teenager after being pulled over at a Californian gas station.

The video shows a round of shots fired at Noble, including those fired at the man after he collapsed on the ground.
