Roberts also asked Republican nominee Donald Trump to not visit the city in the coming days. The visit is tentatively rescheduled for Oct. 2. Clinton weighed in on the controversy surrounding the death of Keith Lamont Scott via Twitter on Friday by calling on the city to release police video of the shooting.
