A few hours ago in North Carolina black protests against the police erupted .

The reason was another case of murder of an unarmed black man by police that occurred during the night. Police officials said that the dead man had a gun, which he had taken out of the car. The daughter of the victim said that her father had only a book with him , and his sister added that there was no weapons in their house.  However, fire was opened at a time when the man came out of the car, so he could not represent a direct danger for the killers. Moreover, one of the police officers have been accused of a similar offense, but continued to serve in law enforcement.

Over a hundred people took to the streets of the city of Charlotte. They demand to stop outrage against the black population. The demonstration turned into clashes with police, resulting in 12 people suffered. Police use tear gas against civilians.
