Charlotte mayor asks 2016 hopefuls to delay visits

Clinton's team said the presidential candidate had chose to postpone her trip, originally planned for Sunday, after community leaders requested that she wait to visit the beleagured southern city.

"We have chose to postpone Sunday's trip as not to impact the City's resources", communications director Jennifer Palmieri wrote in the statement.

"If there would be a way to delay those visits in terms of giving us a chance to get our city back to order and back to a state of normalcy that would probably be ideal", Roberts said in an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett on Friday night.

City and Clinton campaign officials say the campaign had conferred with city staff about a Sunday visit before announcing it at around 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Carolyn Graham is a peaceful protestor who says she's chosen to come out during the day, to avoid the nighttime mayhem.

"As I said, I think both candidates are making plans", she said.

Other NC leaders, including Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts and gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper have also called for the videos to be released.

Scott's wife released her cellphone video of the incident on Friday, which includes audio of her shouting "don't shoot him" and saying that he didn't have a gun.

"At this point we do have very stressed resources for security", she said.

As protestors fill the streets Thursday expressing anger and frustration at the Tuesday death of Keith Lamont Scott at the hands of the police, officials confirmed that the mayor of Charlotte has imposed a curfew, slated to go in effect at midnight. "We must ensure justice and work to bridge divides", Clinton said in a tweet. Police have said he was armed by witnesses say he held only a book.

"It's presumptuous for him to make conclusions like that without having thorough conversations with some of the folks who are here on the ground and are really aware of what's going on and what the reasoning is", she told CNN's Carol Costello on "Newsroom". "Because we deserve better". A new national poll shows Clinton's lead expanding over Republican rival Donald Trump.

He has also condemned violent protests in Charlotte that have followed the Scott shooting.

The protests erupted after Scott, 43, was killed Tuesday while police were serving a warrant at The Village at College Downs apartment complex on Old Concord Road.
