Panthers President Danny Morrison released the following statement:
“We are in contact with government officials, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the NFL. We are continuing to monitor events as we prepare for Sunday’s home game.”
Protests over the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott became violent on Wednesday as people started looting businesses and destroying private property:
One person was shot and several other people had to be taken to the hospital. According to CMPD, that person is on life support.
Officials with the City of Charlotte said that the shooting involved two civilians. No shots were fired by police, according to officials.

Comments
Tell Roger Goodell the “protesters” are going to kneel during the National Anthem. He’ll make every effort he can to accomodate them.
