Scott, 43, was killed by police in Charlotte, North Carolina, after he was mistaken for a suspect in another incident. The Scott family insists he was unarmed. In the family’s video, which includes footage from before, during, and after the shooting, there is no gun visible. Protesters have rallied to a cry of “release the tapes”, demanding that police release footage from that incident, and police have so far refused. On Thursday night protesters moved to the John Belk Freeway, where they stopped cars until police fired tear gas canisters and pepper balls.
