Police Shooting Protesters Shut Down Charlotte I 85

Protesters shut down part of I-85 through Charlotte, North Carolina after police shot a black man to death. The incident began in an apartment complex on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 20. Police were looking for a man with an outstanding warrant, when another man, Keith Lamont Scott, came to their attention.

The Charlotte Observer reported:

Police said they had been searching for someone who had an outstanding warrant at The Village at College Downs complex on Old Concord Road when they saw Scott leave his car holding a gun.

Officers approached Scott after he got back into the car. He emerged from the car again armed with a firearm “and posed an imminent deadly threat to the officers, who subsequently fired their weapon striking the subject,” police said in a statement. “The officers immediately requested Medic and began performing CPR.”

Medic took Scott to Carolinas Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

A woman who identified herself at Mr. Scott’s daughter put up a video saying her disabled father was reading a book:

In the video, the woman said her father was sitting in his car reading a book and waiting for the school bus to drop off his son. She claimed that her father was Tasered and then shot four times, and that he was disabled.

Cue the protesters.
