(The Guardian) This has been a slightly chaotic night for communications for the city of Charlotte, as at times the right hand has appeared to act without consulting the left hand. First, the police chief announced the death of someone at the protest in “civilian on civilian” violence, but that had to be retracted after it turned out to be inaccurate. Then, Jennifer Roberts, the mayor of Charlotte, reportedly told CNN that she plans to view the dash-cam video from the shooting of Keith Scott on Thursday and then release it to the public. But this was immediately publicly contradicted contradicted by the Twitter account for the City, who said that while Roberts will view the video, it will not be released to the public: --@CLTMayor will view video. Will NOT be released to public at that time. (City of Charlotte, 21 Sept. 2016) |

(The Guardian) Richard Sherman, the Seattle Seahawks footballer, has used a press conference today to raise the issue of the NFL anthem protests against police violence. He said people were still missing the point about the kneeling protests and that incidents in Tulsa and Charlotte showed why they were needed. Sherman said: The reason these guys are kneeling, the reason we’re locking arms is to bring people together to make people aware that this is not right. It’s not right for people to get killed in the street. |

(WRAL Raleigh) A curfew has taken effect in Charlotte with demonstrators still on the street. Mayor Jennifer Roberts signed documents Thursday night to put in effect a curfew from midnight until 6 a.m. After midnight, hundreds of protesters continued to march and chant in the city's business district. Officers didn't appear to be trying to arrest people or force them off the streets several minutes after midnight passed. |
