The second night of riots in Charlotte over the controversial police killing of an allegedly armed Black man, Keith Lamont Scott, saw protesters riot, loot, shoot a fellow protester and try to toss a photographer on to a small bonfire set in the road of Uptown Charlotte.
Video posted to Twitter by TWC News Charlotte shows rioters dragging and dropping a photographer on the street right next to a bonfire set by protesters.
Police officers can be seen reacting within seconds to come to the man’s aid.
