Charlotte police have released body and dashboard camera footage of the shooting of a black man after several days of demonstrations that have coalesced around demands that the public see the videos. A second body camera video from an officer does not show the moment of shooting. Protests followed the fatal shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott at an apartment complex near UNC Charlotte. The 43-year-old black man was shot to death by a black officer earlier in the week, and police have not released dashcam and body camera video. Earlier in the week, the Charlotte protests turned violent, with demonstrators attacking reporters and others, setting fires and smashing windows of hotels, office buildings and restaurants.
