St. Louis, August 20 (RHC)-- Protests over the fatal police shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown have continued for a 10th night in Ferguson, Missouri.

Speaking earlier today, Captain Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said 47 people were arrested overnight. Jail records obtained by the media show at least 78 people were arrested overnight Monday, more than twice the number cited by police.

Just miles away in St. Louis on Tuesday, police fatally shot a 23-year-old Black man accused of stealing energy drinks and pastries from a convenience store. Police said the man brandished a knife.

About 200 people gathered at the scene after the latest shooting. Some chanted "Hands up, don’t shoot," the constant refrain at protests over the death of Michael Brown.
