CHARLOTTE — Video shows a man bodychecking a CNN reporter during a live report in Charlotte during the second night of protests over the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott.
CNN reporter Ed Lavandera, who was knocked several feet and sent sprawling on the concrete, was apparently not badly hurt. Lavandera stood up, fixed his ear piece and told the anchor “we’re fine.”
For a second night, protests over a deadly officer-involved shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina, turned violent, with police firing tear gas and demonstrators throwing objects and trying to damage vehicles.
Keith Lamont Scott, a father of seven, was killed by police in an apartment complex parking lot Tuesday as officers looked for another man named in a warrant they were trying to serve.
