Demonstrationer i Charlotte, North Carolina

av Martin Schori

Våldsamma protester skakar staden Charlotte sedan Keith Lamont Scott, en 43-årig afroamerikan man, skjutits till döds av en polis. Polisen uppger att 43-åringen, som de misstog för en efterlyst man, var beväpnad och att poliserna kände sig hotade av mannen. Släktingar till Keith Lamont Scott säger till lokala medier att han inte bar vapen utan att han i själva verket höll i en bok. På natten mellan onsdag och torsdag fortsatte protesterna och en person skadades allvarligt. Foto: REUTERS / TT/AFP
