Keith Scott Lamont, a 43-year-old man, was fatally shot by a police officer in September in an encounter that set off a wave of protests in Charlotte, North Carolina. The protesters demanded to see the police footage of the incident.
Over the past year, the United States has seen numerous protests following high-profile cases of police brutality around the country. The incidents have set off mass protests around the country and triggered a national debate about racial inequality and police violence in African-American communities.
