Stephen Curry tweets support to Charlotte amid protests

Demonstrators threw rocks at officers Tuesday, causing at least 16 injuries and damage to several police cars. City officials confirmed the death of the unidentified man on Twitter within an hour, attributing it to a "civilian on civilian" confrontation. The third was Scott, who was shot by a police officer in the parking lot of an apartment complex near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Stephen Curry's message of support for his hometown came around the same time that his head coach, Steve Kerr, told a media scrum at the Warriors' practice facility that he supports non-violent protests. Kaepernick, the 49ers' backup quarterback, has received national attention for sitting — and later, kneeling — during the national anthem in silent protest of social injustices against African Americans.
