CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An unarmed man seeking help after a car crash over the weekend was shot 10 times by the Charlotte police officer who's now charged in his death, investigators said Monday.

Now, well into a new century, as a family in Ferguson, Missouri, buries yet another American teenager killed at the hands of authorities, the rate of police killings of black Americans is nearly the same as the rate of lynchings in the early decades of the 20th century.

The last few hours’ events were much calmer than previous nights. The oft-mentioned “outside aggressors” that protesters and their supporters are quick to distance themselves from, were seen trying to prompt reactions from police, including, allegedly throwing rocks.

One person was seen being put into an ambulance. Protesters have scheduled another protest outside the office of St Louis prosecutor Bob McCulloch on Wednesday morning.
