Charges are not being filed against the police officer who shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott. The shooting inspired protests and rioting in September, and the National Guard was eventually called in. Black Lives Matter was front and center in those demonstrations. In July, Donald Trump said he might have his future attorney general investigate the activists behind it. After the election, Black Lives Matter leaders published a statement calling Trump a white supremacist.
