Protests erupt after man killed in officer-involved shooting in Charlotte

Man, there's alot of glass windows DT--just saying--not gonna be good

Wow, this is not good.

Fox news interviewing a woman who is flipping out. Claims she can be shot by cops anywhere. Guys then came up and took the mic from the reporter.

Twitter reporting that journalists were told to leave as there may be a bomb.

Also reporting multiple people shot and one has died? Nothing confirned.

Wow-- media -esp white reporters--getting physically harassed and grabbed by protesters --have seen it twice already. Dawg. Maybe it would be different if reporters were black???

We've been contemplating Charlotte/Mecklenburg as a place to live...

No live feeds I can find yet.

Here's the Twitter updates: Link

ETA: Reporting full-blown riot. No longer a protest.

I think these are some live feeds...

Saw that. Whoa.

Guess all the big stuff happens when I go get coffee.

This is going to become a full blown riot in DT Charlotte -- -- looting DT; media reporters being hit as they film; tear gas; shots fired; it's only 9:20 PM and it's already getting very ugly; can't even begin to imagine 'round midnight/3am

Anyone working night shift in Charlotte be careful.

Shooting confirmed outside the Ritz Carlton.

Smoke is being deployed.

I was thinking about this compared to the LA Riots or even Ferguson. Whereas LA was completely spontaneous and the beginning of Ferguson too, with so many of these other, more recent ones, each one seems more and more orchestrated. Mostly at night, lead by professional agitators, organized media waiting with baited breathe, people live tweeting, the internet following along. It's sick.

Reports of someone trying to break open an ATM in front of BoA. I chuckled. Might be going to hell.
