ACTION AND THEY GOT PLENTY OF
THAT.
BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THAT
PERSPECTIVE.
SWITCHING AGAIN TO JOE BRUNO
WHO IS CLOSER NOW TO MORE OF
THE CROWD.
JOE, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE SEEN
SOME THINGS TRANSPIRE THE LAST
FEW MINUTES.
THINGS BEING THROWN, LOOK LIKE
WATER BOTTLES.
Reporter: A COUPLE WATER
BOTTLES BEING THROWN IN OUR
DIRECTION.
SOME WATER BOTTLES WERE THROWN
IN THE BALCONY OF 230 TRYON
STREET.
NOW WATER BOTTLE COMING FROM
THAT DIRECTION.
WATER BOTTLES COMING FROM ALL
OVER THE PLACE AS THIS PROTEST
HAS MOVED UP TRYON STREET FROM
MLK AND CHURCH.
CMPD GAVE A DISPERSAL ORDER TO
THE PROTESTERS AND WHEN THEY
GIVE THAT DISPERSAL ORDER THAT
IS THEM SAYING, YOU'VE GOT
THREE STRIKES UNTIL THEY START
ESCALATING THINGS.
THAT IS WHAT THE DEPUTY CHIEF
WENT OVER TODAY DURING HIS TALK
TO CITY COUNCIL.
POLICE DID FIRE SOME PEPPER
BALLS IN OUR DIRECTION, A LOT
OF PROTESTERS WERE HIT BY
THOSE.
I BELIEVE SOMEONE JUST THREW
SOMETHING AT THE GLASS OF THE
ITALIAN RESTAURANT OVER THERE.
IT DID SHATTER.
I SEE THE GLASS DID SHATTER.
NOW THERE IS A BIG DENT IN THE
GLASS OVER THERE.
A COUPLE BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN
SEEING THAT TONIGHT.
HERE COMES A SECURITY CARD
GUARD TO CHECK THAT OUT.
IT LOOKS LIKE PROTESTERS ARE
TURNING RIGHT ONTO FOURTH.
I HEARD ANOTHER BANG SOUNDED
LIKE GLASS, NOW I SEE PEOPLE
RUNNING.
NOW I SEE SOMETHING THROWN AND
THE PROTESTERS A RUNNING GUN
FOR STREET.
YOU TALKED ABOUT WHEN
OFFICERS GIVE THE ORDER TO
DISPERSE THAT IS THE BEGINNING
OF THE WARNINGS THE PEOPLE NEED
TO CLEAR, THEY NEED TO RETREAT.
THEY NEED TO BEGIN TO GO HOME.
Reporter: THEY DID CLEAR.
THEY JUST CLEAR TO THIS AREA.
THEY WERE IT CHURCH AND MLK AND
NOW THEY ARE ON FOR STREET.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE OTHER PROTEST
GROUP IS MEETING WITH THIS
GROUP THAT WAS OVER HERE ON
TRYON STREET AND NOW EVERYONE
IS BACK TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN.
BEFORE THIS GROUP COMING UP
FOURTH STREET WAS WITH THIS
GROUP HERE, THIS GROUP HERE ON
TRYON STREET WERE THROWING
THINGS OFF OF SHEMA.
ARE THE STREETS NOT CLOSED?
Reporter: HOLD ON SECOND, WE
HAVE RIGHT POLICE COMING.
LET'S KEEP MOVING.
WE ARE GOING TO KEEP MOVING.
RIGHT POLICE ARE COMING AND
THINGS ARE BEING THROWN IN
THEIR DIRECTION.
I SEE WATER BOTTLES BEING
CHUCKED, TAKE COVER, PEPPER
BALLS.
WE WANT TO KEEP OUR CREWS
SAFE.
WE HAVE SECURITY WHICH, WITH
EACH OF OUR CREWS, PLEASE STAY
SAFE.
PLEASE TAKE COVER.
Reporter: SEAN, ARE YOU GOOD?
GO, GO, GO.
JOE IS IN THE AREA OF TRYON
STREET AND FORTH.
IT LOOKS LIKE OFFICERS HAVE
GIVEN AT LEAST ONE ORDER FOR
PEOPLE TO DISPERSE.
YOU SEE WE HAVE SECURITY WITH
OUR CREWS.
JOE, ARE YOU OKAY?
Reporter: WE ARE GOOD NOW.
TUCKED BEHIND THIS BUILDING.
THAT SOUNDED LIKE A FLASH BANG
IN THE DISTANCE.
WE TOOK COVER AS POLICE STARTED
FIRING THE PEPPER BALL.
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE THROUGH
SOMETHING BACK AS WE WERE
TAKING COVER AS WELL.
THE RIOT POLICE, DIDN'T HAVE A
LOT OF TIME TO REACT.
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE.
HEADS UP, THEY'RE GOING TO
START.
LET'S STAY RIGHT HERE BEHIND
CHIMA.
OFFICERS ARE SHOOTING PEPPER
BALLS AT THE MOMENT BUT THEY
ARE STANDING, HERE THEY COME.
I MOVING BACK A LITTLE BIT.
HAVE SOMEONE'S CAR KEYS WERE
HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE SECURITY GUARDS.
JOE IS THERE NEAR TRYON
STREET AND FORTH.
UPTOWN CHARLOTTE.
JOE, HAS THE CROWD MOVED ON?
DO YOU SEE OFFICERS APPROACHING?
Reporter: THE OFFICERS ARE
BASICALLY RIGHT OUTSIDE OF
CHIMA, OUTSIDE OF THAT
STEAKHOUSE FRONT DOORS.
THEY HAVE PEPPER BALL WEAPONS
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE
STANDING DOWN AT THE MOMENT,
PROTESTERS ARE TRYING TO LEAVE
THIS ALLEYWAY.
AS YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE RAISING
THEIR HANDS JUST TO LET THEM
KNOW THEY ARE ON THE WAY OUT.
AND THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY BACK
UP TRYON STREET, IT APPEARS
