USA: Protests continue after curfew as National Guard deployed in Charlotte

Protesters took to the streets for the fourth night running in the centre of Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday, following the fatal police shooting of a 43 year old African-American man named Keith Scott.
According to police, officers went to a Charlotte apartment complex looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant, Tuesday, when they saw Keith Lamont Scott exiting his car before shooting and killing him. Police claim that Scott was carrying a gun, his family insist he was carrying a book. There is video footage of the shooting which the police have so far refused to release to the public.
His death is the latest incident in a long line of police shootings and has been met with outrage by the general public, the US African-American community, Black Lives Matter activists and other anti-racist groups.
The scale of the demonstrations over the shooting have prompted North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory to declare a state of emergency and deploy the National Guard. Several arrests have been made during the protests in which a man, Justin Carr, died in a shooting. Local authorities tweeted that the man was killed by another civilian, a claim some protesters have disputed. Barry Morrison, a protester and retired army veteran said "all I want is that footage. If a black man indeed shot a black man pointing a gun at him that footage would have been released last night."
