Presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are complying with a request from the mayor of Charlotte, N.C., to postpone a visit to the key battleground state amid riots, demonstrations and other unrest sparked by a fatal police shooting of a black male.
The incident Tuesday has reignited public concern and anger about a recent series of black males being killed after coming into contact with police.
In Charlotte, police fatally shot Keith Lamont Scott, 43, while looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant.
Participants in the ensuing days of demonstrations and rioting have clashed with police officers and have vandalized hotels, restaurants and at least one police cruiser. And a protester was fatally shot by another protester earlier this week.
Witnesses said Scott did not have a gun. But police can be heard shouting for him to drop a weapon, in a cellphone video taken by Scott’s wife and made public Friday.
Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts, a Democrat, made the request of the nominees late Friday on CNN, saying that police and other resources are already spread thin dealing with the unrest.

It would be a lose for Charlotte to have Hillary there rousing rabble. And it might not yet be ready for Donald Trump.
Charlotte isn’t Tulsa and there’s much less controversy on Tulsa.
Trump never intended intended to go.
Trump had no plans to visit the Charlotte area. Hillary was planning to politicize it, so they lumped in Trump to not embarrass her.
Trump Tweeted: “Crooked Hillary’s bad judgement forced her to announce that she would go to Charlotte … to grandstand. Dem pols said no way, dumb!”
Good excuse for Hillary to spend another day in the clinic.
Just yesterday, Hellary was saying she was going to walk with the protesters of Charlotte. What happened? All talk and no walk? Bawk, bawk! Chicken!
An adult moment? How interesting?
“Just yesterday, Hellary was saying she was going to walk with the protesters of Charlotte.”

Where did she say that?
.
“Demonstrations”?
This
It was Hillary who planned to go, not Trump
Maybe she can go to Louisiana instead
Or to Orlando to visit her friend, the shooter dad
Hillrary embracing this BLM is the wrong move. Bad judgement like Trump said. Most in this country hate these people.
