CHARLOTTE Ronnie Harrison Womens Jersey , N.C. - About 300 protesters took to the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, in a fourth night of demonstrations on Friday, calling on authorities to ""release the tapes"" of the fatal police shooting of a black man, hours after his family released its own video.


Protesters gathered after nightfall in a small park and others chalked the names of police shooting victims from across the country on a street, but there was no sign of the violence that marked demonstrations earlier in the week.


Protesters marched under the eye of armed National Guard troops, chanting ""Resist the police"" along with calls for videos of Tuesday's shooting of Keith Scott, a 43-year-old father of seven, to be made public.


Charlotte police have claimed that Scott was armed with a gun, which the family has denied.


Police officers and protesters, both on bicycles, led the way through streets closed to traffic. Marchers briefly entered an interstate highway running through the city but quickly returned to the local streets.


The two-minute video recorded by Scott's wife, Rakeyia, includes audio of her pleading with officers to hold fire as they confront Scott in a parked car outside a Charlotte apartment complex.


""Don't shoot him! He has no weapon,"" she can be heard telling officers as they yell at Scott, ""Drop the gun!""


Scott's death was the latest in a string of police killings of black men in America, which have unleashed protests and riots across the country and led to international criticism of the United States' treatment of minorities.


Over the last two years, protesters have filled streets from Milwaukee to Minneapolis, from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore. Protesters have also taken to the streets in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where police officers were shot and killed by gunmen who claimed to be avenging the deaths of black men unjustly slain by law enforcement.


In the Charlotte video, released by the family to U.S. media outlets, Scott's wife can be heard shouting ""Keith, Keith, don't do it,"" although it is not clear whether she is directing her comments to her husband or police. The footage captures the sound of four shots but does not show Scott being hit. It is also not clear from the footage whether he is in possession of a gun.


Scott's wife in the video also tells police that her husband had a TBI, or traumatic brain injury, and had just taken ""his medicine."" It was not clear from the video whether police heard the wife nor the nature of any injury Scott may have sustained.


CNN quoted a source close to the Charlotte investigation as saying that a loaded gun had been recovered at the scene of the crime and that fingerprints, DNA and blood on it matched Scott's.


Reuters was unable to confirm the report and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not immediately respond to queries on it.


VIDEO FOOTAGE NO ""PANACEA""


Along with Scott's family, protesters have dismissed the police claim that Scott had a gun and have called on authorities to release video taken by law enforcement to shed light on the controversy.


The family initially contended that Scott was carrying a book, but after viewing the police video on Thursday, the family said it was ""impossible to discern"" what, if anything, Scott was carrying.
