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North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory to deploy the National Guard and declare a state of emergency, which has since been rescinded.
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 the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department on Saturday from the body mounted camera of one of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers at the scene of the fatal shooting of 43 year old Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday. The footage runs from the time when the officer turned his camera on, before Scott was shot to after his shooting when he is prone on the ground.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stated that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton was "the voice for global special interest," before adding that he was "running to be the voice of the forgotten men and women of this country," while speaking at a campaign rally in Roanoke, Virginia on Saturday.
