CNN Reporter Gets Knocked To The Ground By Protester [VIDEO]

Protesters in Charlotte are not happy. That's painfully obvious, but I do hate to see protesters take out their anger on innocent people or hardworking business owners.

Protesting peacefully is one of the truest things an American can do. Think about it, in this country, we are legally allowed to protest through the streets about anything we disagree with.

A CNN reporter named Ed Lavandera was reporting on the protests in Charlotte when a protester decided to make some type of example out of him. While Lavandera was live on the air, a protester body checked him without warning and sent him to the ground. I must give props to the reporter for ultimately getting back to his feet and continuing his report.

The one thing that struck me as odd was that after the fact, the reporter states that he spoke with the protester who knocked him over, and the protester apparently couldn't explain why he did what he did.

Here's the footage!
