just a second. i don't want to miss a spot right here. and i will see you tomorrow! for the fourth straight night, protesters hit the streets of charlotte, ignoring mandatory curfew. new details on the dashcam video of the police shooting that sparked it all. >> a female police officer has beenke degree manslaughter in tulsa. >> michelle obama's passport and other documents revealed by white house hackers. >> plus, the candidates get in last mbt jabs before squaring off this monday. "early today" starts right now. good morning, i'm dara brown. >> i'm frances rivera. overnight protesters marched for a third straight evening. this time, it was more tame and

from enforcing it. throughout the city, you would see armored trucks, national guardsman and officers dressed in riot gear. protesters remained vigilant and calm, sometimes chanting, sometimes silently walking the streets vowing to stand their ground. >> don't brush it off as we want to riot. kids are out here, mothers, fathers. they're not out here because there's something going on. stop killing my people. >> that's not how the area congressman saw it when he made these controversial remarks. >> the anger, they hate white people because white peek are successful and they are not. yes, it is. it's a welfare state. >> he has since apologized saying, quote, i apologize to those i offended and hope we can bring peace and calm to charlotte.

demanding change while calling for the release of keith lamont scott's video. >> i have seen the video, and i agree with the assessment both by our chief as well as the family, the family has seen the video also, and it is ambiguous. there's not a clear picture. the body camera, of course, is moving, and the view is obscured at certain points. the dash camera is only a partial view. it is ambiguous. and this is one reason why we want to have time for the investigation to continue to gather all the piece of the puzzle. >> charlotte's police chief said the video did not provide absolute video evidence prior to shutting stop shooting. scott's family lawyer wants the video made public. >> what i see in that video is an individual sitting in a car, who gets out in a calm, peaceful manner, he never appears to be

it seems like he's a tad confused. i don't know if he's yetting yelled at from too many directions. his hands are down. there appears to be an object in his hands, at the moment he is shot. he is actually stepping backwards. the family wants the police department to release both of the videos that we saw today and we want the public to see it, let them draw their own conclusions. joining us from charlotte is sarah rosario. good morning, sarah. are morero today? >> as of right now, we haven't been told about any more protests expected today, but we can expect them to be peaceful, or we're hoping they will be peaceful as they were last night. a stark contrast to how they were just two nights ago with police having to come out in riot gear, having to use the tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse the crowd and calmthem down. there were some tense moments last night, but police officers tell us people inside the crowd,

other people who were remaining calm were able to calm down other people who were getting tense during parts of the protest last night. officers were paying attention to people out there. we are seeing they were able to enforce -- they didn't enforce the curfew because of the peaceful protest. what people were most upset about is what you guys really touched on the most, the release of that video of the shooting we're hoping to get more information about that today. and if any more protests come out. we'll be sure to keep you updated. reporting live in charlotte, sarah rosario. >> thank you very much. >> the oklahoma police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man is facing charges. betty shelby has been charged with first degree manslaughter in the death of terence crutcher. in the last few hours, shelby was booked and released on $50

by crutcher's twin sister tiffany. >> while we're pleased to learn that the officer who senselessly killed my beloved twin brother will face criminal charges for her reckless act, we understand nothing will bring him back. our goal now as a family is to insure that this never happened to another innocent citizen. we're demanding full prosecution. we want a conviction, and when that happens, this is a small victory, but we know we have to get r >> nbc's blake mccoy has more. >> video from a police helicopter shows terence crutcher with his hands up, just moments before being shot and killed by tulsa police last friday. >> shots fired. >> the officer who fired, betty shelby, is being charged. >> i determined that the filing of the felony crime of manslaughter in the first degree against tulsa police officer betty shelby is warranted.

officer shelby suspected crutcher to be high on pcp. she said he wouldn't follow commands and seemed to be reaching into the car. >> i've got a subject. >> but the video seems to tell a different story. while the lead investigator in the case told the tulsa world that a vial of pcp was in the car, no gun was found. legal observers say charges against officers, especially this quickly, are unusual. >> we're seeing public pressure. we're seeingor in rare cases we're seeing faster movement towards prosecuting officers. >> the first step in the long road to justice for terence crutcher and his family began today. >> crutcher's family is mourning the father of four. blake mccoy, nbc news. >> the events in charlotte and tulsa continue to serve as a backdrop for tumultuous presidential race and with the first presidential debate just three days away, donald trump

their outrage and protests are threatening the country and their own communities. >> the rioting in our streets is a threat to all peaceful citizens, and it must be ended and ended now. the main victims of these violent demonstrations are law abiding african-americans who live in these communities and only want to raise >> that came after trump seemed to suggest drugs are influencing the nightly protests out of charlotte. >> i will stop the drugs from flowing into our country and poisoning our youth and many other people. and if you're not aware, drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night. >> a trump spokesman rejected the assertion he was speaking of

when trump is working to build his support among african-american voters, a group that is resoundingly supporting clinton by large margins. that was clear when the trump campaign quickly distanced itself from its ohio county chair cathy miller who said this to the guardian. >> i don't think there was any racism until obama got elected. we never had problems like this. i'm in the real estate industry. there's none. now, with the people with the guns and responsible citizens. that's a big change. i think that's a philosophy that obama has perpetuated on america. and if you're black and you haven't been successful in the last 50 years, it's your own fault. >> miller has since told a local ohio publication, i am apologizing that it's causing all the problems for mr. trump, not for the statements.

nominee himself. >> have you met donald trump? >> no. >> what do you think of him? >> i don't know. sometimes you see the outrageous hair, something like that and his mouth so. but i don't know. >> oh, the hair is always what comes to mind. both presidential candidates are expected to spend their weekend in debate prep before monday's square off. michelle obama's personal documents. >> bill karins with flash flooding in parts of the country. >> it's not just flash flooding. that's horrible, but you also had a tornado yesterday in ogden, utah, of all places. storm system moved through. you can see it behind that building. the winds at the center of the tornado looked like this, ferocious stuff. and flooding in iowa. wisconsin, iowa, southern minnesota, and this is one town,
