Authorities in Charlotte, North Carolina, won't release police video of the shooting of a black man that has triggered two days of violent protests until "there is a compelling reason" to do so, the police chief said on Thursday.

"I'm not going to release the video right now," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney told a news conference. "The family made a request to see it and we're looking to accommodate that request."
