Chaos reigned in the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, Wednesday night as rioting thugs taking part in a Black Lives Matter protest turned violent, attacking police, members of the media and even each other.

For a second night, protests over the police shooting of an armed black man turned into riots. The breakdown occurring despite Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney informing the public that the man killed by a black police officer, 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, was armed and ignored repeated calls to drop the weapon, Fox News reported.

“The officers gave loud, clear verbal commands which were also heard by many of the witnesses. They were instructing the subject, once he got out of the vehicle, to drop the weapon… Mr. Scott exited his vehicle armed with a handgun as the officers continued to yell at him to drop it,” Putney said.

But the news that Scott was holding a book, not a gun, is what circulated through social media and stirred what many are now calling a riot.

One person was shot by another civilian and was taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to police.

“Around 8:30 p.m., a civilian fired a pistol indiscriminately into a crowd of dozens outside the hotel, turned and ran, leaving a man laying on the ground in a pool of blood on the sidewalk,” said Ryan James, an eyewitness to the shooting.

He described the shooter as a black male.

The violence continued to intensify, with angry protesters aggressively confronting riot police.

There was a disturbing report of a still photographer being attacked by protesters, who then tried to throw the man into a fire that had been set.

Police can be seen in the video below rushing to rescue the man from the crazed mob:

In another disturbing scene, a man can be seen begging for his life as a mob of thugs set upon him simply because of the color of his skin:

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory eventually declared a state of emergency in response to the out-of-control violence in Charlotte.

Police battled into the night, trying to take back control of the streets:
