So much for nonviolent protests and demonstrations, huh? The agitated mob began to vandalize and went on the I-85 highway and disrupted traffic, even looting vehicles that could not move forward due to protesters/agitators blocking the highway. Here’s the take of one Charlotte resident known as Sister Toldjah:

Rioters threw rocks and water bottles at police and journalists. A total of 16 officers were injured as well as several local reporters…

Shortly after, rioters started fires in the middle of I-85. The nearby Walmart was broken into. The windows were smashed at a nearby Walgreens. Both stores are in popular shopping centers that are usually overflowing with customers during the day.
