Fingerprint, blood and dna that matched up with scotts. The bottom line. Four days later there are still more questions than answers. Reporter the video is two minutes and 12 seconds and it is hard to watch. The tape begins with a standoff between Charlotte Police officers and keith lamont scott. His wife rakia scott is reporting the video on her cell phone. Dont shoot him. Dont shoot him. He has no weapon. He has no weapon. Dont shoot him. A second later though you hear police shout about a gun. Listen carefully. The shaky Video Shows Police surrounding scotts white vehicle. What you dont see at this point, scott himself. 20 seconds in, another firm warning that he does not have a gun but that he does have a troumtic brain injury. He has a tbi. He took his medicine that hes not going to do anything to them but the situation escalates. Rakia walks closer telling her husband to get out the vehicle. Come on out the car. Police can be heard on video yelling to scott to drop a gun at least nine times. Dont shoot him. He didnt do anything. Drop the gun. He doesnt have a gun. He has a tbi. Hes not going to. Drop the gun, drop the gun. Then about fiftyseconds after he was told to put his hands up police fired but not before one final warning. Keith, keith, keith, dont you do it. Four shots can be heard on the video. Though the actual shooting is off camera. Its still unclear what mr. Scott was trying to tell her husband when she shouted dont do it. Keith. Keith. Dont you do it. Still up for debate . If keith scott had a weapon as police claimed and what prompted officers to shoot . His wife clearly shocked by what she witnessed . Did you shoot him . Did you shoot him . He better not be [ bleep ] dead. She moves closer until the camera can see her husband on the ground, unsure of whether hes alive or dead. Rakia scott is stunned he better live, i swear he better live. Yep. He better live. He better [ bleep ] live. On the video it is hard to tell if the gun police say they saw is anywhere on the ground. But look at this photo acquired by Charlotte Police. The chief says it shows what appears to be a handgun on the pavement at scotts feet. The noth was clearly taken after the video since crime seen tape not seen in the video is up. When asked about the gun being in the photo but not clooerm in the video a spokesman said, it is part of the investigation and a question for the state investigation board. Randy kay cnn new york. As you know that Fatal Shooting by police set off three nights of protest. The first two were more chaotic and at times violent while last night was much calmer. Boris sanchez in charlotte, whats the latest in . Reporter hey anderson. Yeah this is a very very different crowd than weve seen the past three nights here in charlotte. Were outside the omni hotel right now where about 48 hours ago things were completely out of hand. There was chaos on the street. Right now the crowd is much slimmer. There are much fewer people here than there were even last night when there was a prayer vigil here. Right now the artists are actually writing the names of African American men whove been involved in police shoots other the few years. The crowd is also very different. A lot more church groups. Religious leaders. Prayer circles and people hugging each ore and talking very calmly. Ive also seen a lot of people walking up to the National Guard here outside the omni and shaking their hands, thanking them for their service as well. Just down there there is a prayer circle going on right now. A very different crowd. I can also say that this crowd is noticeably younger. Partly because it is the weekday a lot of families have come out. I spoke to a mom who brought her six kids with her with signs to stand on the corner. The tone is much more somber. There isnt any chanting or march going on. And there are fewer people. The hope is this tone will continue throughout the night and will remain peaceful and we wont see a repeat of two nights ago which was bedlam here on the streets of charlotte. It is a different scene tonight in atlanta. Martin savidge is there with a crowd of protesters marching. Explain where you are, what you are seeing. Reporter described as a day of protest andersen. Just outside olympic centennial park. This protest is organized under the umbrella of the georgia naacp but there are many other groups. Everything from black lives matter to the unitarian church. As the diverse crowd. But it is a very firm crowd. They are fired up. Clearly very angry as a result of the events that have taken place this week in charlotte and in tulsa. Several hundred here marching. They wont say exactly where they are going to go. They do say they are aheaded eventually to the king center. About two miles away. Also there is going to be ab undisclosed location where they will gather and attempt to do something. The concern for Atlanta Police is they may try to block a major highway or thorough fair. That is something the police say they will not allow to happen, anderson. Do you have any sense of numbers . On the lefthand side of the screen we also have a Helicopter Shot from our affiliate. But it is hard to get a sense of numbers. Reporter initially it looked like when they started at the civil rights museum, maybe 200 to 300 people. They have been hinting that they are going to be joined by more people strategically placed along the way. That would be people maybe at olympic centennial park, maybe who will be at the king center. Maybe in between. The crowd is expected to grow. It is a mixed krou eed crowd. Not just racially but by age. There is a Youth Movement and people from back in further movement as well. And that is why they go to the king center to show the links of the events of today and events of the past and it is all based on race. Martin savidge. Well continue to check with you. Joining me now. David clinger, and. Cedric alexander. Van jones. And laura coates. David, in in video that the family of mr. Scott released we dont see the actual shots or even a gun with this cell phone video. For the first time we are able to hear the officers repeatedly saying put down the gun. You hear them shouting about dropping the gun. It is important to note that a loaded gun was according to police recovered from the scene. What do you see in this video . What stands out to you . Because the wife also saying she does not have a gun in this video . The start out with the wifes statement. That is really irrelevant to the Police Officers in terms of what they are seeing if they are seeing Something Different if they are lvr already determined hes got a gun by seeing one. What she says they have got better information. Another situation perhaps where the officers dont know whats going on they cant see his hands and shes saying he doesnt have a gun that is something they have to put into the thought cycle. One other thing that really struck me was the amount of time that passed between when the video started and when the shots were fired. And as your reporter mentioned the multiple commands to drop the gun. And so this wasnt one of those situations that happened very very rapidly. This was one that took a little bit of time to build up. And another thing that is interesting to me that i dont quite understand yet is how it is that the suspect traversed the area from the vehicle that he was apparently sitting in to the point where he fell. And so that took a few seconds and so we dont really know what was going on at that point because the camera is being jostled and it is really difficult to assess. What i would say is there are still a huge number of questions. Why are the officers there . Why did they deploy in the locations they deploy . Why is it one officer said something about get aqaba on the . The wife said something about dont let him break the windows. Did they have a plan to try to extract him . There are a lot of Unanswered Questions and i think that will come when we have access to the case file with the roa radio brt in all like llihood and the officers statements. And you also hear the wife saying keith dont do it. I think to her husband. Im wondering what you see. Everyone sees things differently. Im wondering what stands out to you. That is very true, everyone does see things a little differently in this case and i dont know who shes talking to when she makes that statement. But here is something i need to be very clear about in this. This video were looking at and viewing all day is a piece of the puzzle. What is going to be interesting during the course of this investigation is also to see the video footage that the city of the Police Department has possession. We have to take all of this footage, put it together. Couple that with officers statements. Witness statements. Any other footage that may be out there that we are not aware of. You have to look at the physical evidence on the scene. The forensics. All of this is going to come together and really tell a story as to what occurred, when, where and how. And in this particular video, ill tell you what does stick out to me here anderson, is that none of us on this side of that video can see a gun. So that doesnt mean it was not one there. It is just that if were looking for one this video doesnt give us that. But maybe another piece of footage there may be able to do so. Van, g if officers were able to hear scotts wife and we dont really know all the officers could hear her. Once they know there was a possibly brain injury and he had taken im wondering should had have effected the situation at all. Also some sort of object in the foreground. I couldnt identify it as gun. Could have been a glove. I dont know what it was. But in the video it doesntem seem so show up. What do you make of what you are seeing . Well first of all it is just hard breaking to see this stuff over and over again. And i hope this doesnt become a new normal where with we just get desensitized. You know, here is somebody who lost their life, a wife pleading and we see this something almost to be clinical about. It is a horrible tragedy. The reality is this video cuts both ways. This is a piece of a puzzle. What i want to speak to is that when you have people who have traumatic brain injury, you are saying t. B. I. , t. B. I. When you have people with Mental Health issues, Law Enforcement needs to be better trained to talk people down rather than shoot them down. All too often people with Mental Health issues wind up on the wrong end of these incidents and police go into a particular pattern with it. Verbal command. Verbal command. Vashl command. The command is not working and move up the ladder of force often to deadly force. When someone else in the neighborhood might be able to talk that person down. So that could be an issue here. We just dont know if there is really a gun or not. And let me say one last thing. For a normal person. You say well listen t cops are saying drop the gun, there must be a gun. There could be a misunderstanding. Then they found a gun. What you have to remember is in the African American community the idea of a throwdown gun is just as normal as anything else. When the shooting goes wrong there are some Law Enforcement through the years have carried a throwdown gun, a gun you drop at the scene. So that is something that people are familiar with. Just the fact that police say there was a gun there does not mean to a lot of people that there was a gun there. So we need much more information than we are getting. And then hiding the actual video is not helping. But this video could cut either way. We need more facts. The sheriff said the video he had seen didnt show anything definitive about whether there was a gun being pointed. The new video doesnt seem to change that and we dont even see mr. Scott. What about the video raises questions for you or answers questions . As a prosecutor i look at this is say this is very emotional and provocative. But just the facts here. What dont i see . As a prosecutor im looking at it and saying, if there was a gun there he may have been entitled to have a gun in this particular state. May have had a record. May but having a gun is not the end of a prosecutors inquiry. It is whether or not these officers felt as though their lives were threatened and whether he was going to use lethal force against them to. Either justify use of force or otherwise. Just because he had a gun whether on the ground or on his person doesnt automatically make me think he was going to use it in a way to threaten. That is what neither video were seeing now or the one we havent seen but described by the sheriff. And that is where my eye witness testimony comes in. And that is why i dont really understand why the video from the officers hasnt been released. These are but static moments in time that are incomplete and inclusive but would help us to figure out whether or not the Bigger Picture is. Let me try to answer that. I asked david last night. And his explanation was from a legal standpoint was that in a investigation going on you dont want witnesses being affected by seeing the video, changing their story or in some way being impacted by seeing the video and having a video out there. Same with officers. You dont necessarily want them seeing the video and changing their stories. What do you make of that laurie . To the first point the chief of police has already come out and given a press conference and describes with specificity what he sees. So us not having had the opportunity to confirm what indeed is on the video to mow seems a little od. If im already told what it is. Cant i see it myself. And officers will routinely say look, lets not open investigation completely. But in this situation it is being used in a hypokrill way for the reason you just said and having witnesses recall the video is not through the actual incident. Yet officers are allowed to have a uniformity of memory when it comes to having watched the video over and over again and decide how best to proceed and it cant be a doubled edged sword when it comes to the Justice System. Coming up ill speak with the public defender whos worked very hard to calm the chaos this week, literally standing between police and protesters in the midst of tear gas. He says people are hurting and no one else needs to die or be arrested. Well talk to him. Also an arrest in the shooting of protester justin carr who was shot in the first night of protest. Well talk about who actually pulled the trigger and his family in reaction ahead announcer vo who says your desk phone always has to be at your desk . Now, with one talk from verizon. Hi, pete.

Introducing one talk another way verizon connects your business better. Learn how at onetalk. Com. The possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Two protests going on tonight. Atlanta on the right and on the left charlotte. If you have been watching protests throughout the week you might have noticed this man between protesters and police, putting himself in the middle of a very volatile situation, trying to diffuse it. Trying to help do what he can. That is tucson romaine. He joins us now. Thank you for being with us. Incredibly tough week in the city of charlotte. Im wondering what you are seeing out there tonight what the mood is like. Well, you know, anderson. Thanks for having me. But the mood is one of somberness. It is one of hurt. It is one of, still we want to know more but it is peaceful. There arent any protesters in the streets necessarily breaking or hurting anyone. National guard is here and they are on their knees. They are sitting on the curb, they are relaxed in that atmosphere. There is not the tension that were waiting for an explosion or shot to be heard around the world. Were hear demonstrating as you can see my friends back here. Listen, we want answers. Were here to stand peacefully and show year exercising our Constitutional Rights because wur upset but because were upset were also going to do it peacefully. The peaceful nature of it is for me is the biggest thing. Im really glad this is the way charlotte is operating. Im really prould of my city for doing it last night as well in the midst of a state of emergency, we were enacting in that emergency. So in that way its been good but we still have a long way to go. Let me ask you from a personal standpoint. I said this last night on the air when you are being interviewed i think by boris sanchez. You know, i have huge respect for public defenders across the country. You all are overworked. Understaffed, underfunded, underpaid and really have an impossible task. For you to work during the day at your job as public defender and then spend nights on the streets standing in risky situations between people, its very volatile. What personally draws you out there. Its nos not just me. Eddie thomas from my office. Emmy wallworth. And its knows the work. Its the heart for the people. And when you are passionate or have a purpose. It doesnt matter whats in your way. Or if even if you are tired. This is my fourth night out here and im tired but im going to keep going because im driven by the fuel that knowing that we can make a difference for today and we will improve things for tomorrow. In that way i believe were Getting Better and that is what keeps me going. As you know mr. Scotts widow released a video she took of the incident. Im wondering, you know the Justice System well. There are folks involved in the investigation saying look we dont want to release the Police Videos because we dont want witnesses to change their testimony or be influenced by what hay see in a video. Do you think the videos should be released quickly. And they will all obviously be released at some point. But should they be released quickly . The interesting thing about that anderson is there are two courts. A court of law and a court of Public Opinion. In the court of Public Opinion it is about emotions and opinions and those type of the things. In the video, which is a fact is not shown and the video is the only unbiased fact. If if video is not shown, then those facts are left to be imagined and that takes us to the court of Public Opinion. If we dont have the facts were going to fill in the blanks and in our communities, we know people all of our kmurnts, we know people with do and say the wrong things. And because of mistrust and so many problems with the police covering things. I. E. Charleston, south carolina. We imagined the worst. And i think that is what happens in the court of Public Opinion because our officials are not releasing the video. There are only two other pieces to the puzzle. There are only two other videos. One is the bodyworn cameras from the officers and possibly the dvr record s from the vehicles. Why not release those. Why not release those. And to say dont shoot him. And as you hear dont do it. That is not the wife speaking to whats happening inside the car. That is our it makes sense to see if an officer is taking his weapon out and pointing it. Dont do it. Thats where that makes sense. So if we have this one video that says you know there is a wloft distrust here. A lot of open questions. A lot of Unanswered Questions, but we need the cops to show their side. We cant have one team their show their and the other not their their card but then to have the chief characterize this video in a way that seems favorable to them just doesnt add up. If the video is what they claim for it to be, then release it and allow the people to see it. And that is what we did two or three years with jonathan pharrell. We addressed the issue and got to the crux of it and the community was at peace in that sense. So tonight the protests very more about trust within the Police Department. Regaining that trust within our community and really building those relationships and those bridges. And to our leaders if you are serious about doing that, then do it. Because your community is here. Your Community Needs you as the leaders to lead us, not just to protect those that you want to. Toussaint romaine, appreciate talking to you and thank you so much. Thanks again. Take care. Still ahead. Suspect charged in the shooting death two nights ago. During the charlotte protest. The victim justin carr. Well speak to his mother and the latest about what we know of the person accuse of shooting him. Well be right back colombia 3 cure cancer million . Far off. Liver disease treatment. That by voting yes on prop 61 costs. Dollars pass. Dont let that happen. It because one day it might 3. Reporter marching down tryon treat here in charlotte. Very spirited as it was last night. And recurring theme here. They want those Police Body Camera and dash cam tapes released. They have been chanting it. And they have signs to that effect. They are really into that message tonight. They do not trust the police. They do not trust the polices inclination of the lamont scott shooting and they want those videotapes released. See if they come down this street . You want to Say Something . The nfl does not care about us. Okay. Thank you. So anderson they thought they were going to make a turn and now they are going down this way. And again a lot of distrust on the streets today because of the issue of the police not releasing those videotapes. All right. Check in with you shortly. A 21yearold suspect charged in a Fatal Shooting during the second night of protests in char charlotte. Accused of murder for shooting justin carr. Witnesses giving conflicting accounts of what they saw. Bystanders trying to help mr. Carr. Joining me justins mom vivian and kenneth, his brother. What you do want people to know about your son . What kind of man was he. He was a good fella. He was of course my baby boy. And hes also was a father to be. His son is due october 28th and he was so excited about becoming a first time dad. He wanted to teach him how to play sports just as he did. He played all sports. Everybody in the neighborhood knew justin. And he was always the one that aggravates everybody. Talking, talking. You know. He liked to talk. Yes he always well he liked to talk. When he was younger he didnt. He was quiet. And when he got to junior high is when he started talking. He was a little high kid that didnt talk much. We got a little older about 1415 is when the talking started. How do you want people to remember your brother . He was a realist. And if there was something that was in his heart, he wasnt afraid to speak out about it or defend whatever stance he had. He was a walking platform on a number of different things. Regardless of the situation that took place here in charlotte, the great city of charlotte in which we were all raised, justin never had any problem speaking out about any particular situation, cause or anything near and dear to his heart. Vivian, i understand justin was on his way to work wednesday evening when he stopped by the protest. Did you know that he was there . Yes h. He called me at work and asked me was i coming down. He wanted me to come down with him. But i was still working late and he stopped by to do the protest and i told him i didnt think it was a good idea because it was getting dangerous but he told me it was fine. Theres nothing going on right now, ma. You know, im fine. And he was like i just want to come down here and, you know, and help out and be a part of the protest. He said, you know, his grandmother always told him about the story when she marched for Martin Luther king. He wanted to tell his granny. And i just want everybody to know my son was a good kid. The strength you are showing, being able to even talk about him in the midst of your grief. It is just extraordinary. Yes, i know that he died for a cause. Kenneth, there has been arrests made. There are a lot of Unanswered Questions about the shooting. There still is. Do you have any sense now what if any motive there was . Do you have any idea . Was there a motive at all do you think . We have again, huge, remarkable efforts from the city of charlotte. Everything that is going on with charlotte, it is called a total disarray. And justin would also state had he still been here, we dont want these reckless acts to diminish the overall image of our great city. And in terms of the cause or the motive behind what took place that caused me to lose my youngest brother, we have a strong investigation under way. We have great support from the detectives that have constantly been in contact with us since the news was first brought out. In terms of any specifics . No. Vivian, i know you posted on facebook after you learned of justs death that you wanted everyone who was parros protesting to do it peacefully. Yeah. That is what he would have wanted too. That is what he would have wanted. What would you want to say to protesters now . Just be peaceful about it. It is not about looting and killing. It is about making a stand, being peaceful. Coming together as the city. Everybody knows my facebook post. Always end in love, love, love. And i always taught my sons to respect and love everybody. So any speculations at what like, it was something going on with him and somebody else, thats not i dont want anybody to think thats true. Because my son was not a bad person. He was not a mean person in my kind of way. Vivian and kenneth again, im just so sorry for your loss and i do appreciate you coming in and talking about justin and telling us about him. Thank you. Youre welcome. Absolutely. Strength of a mom whos just lost her son, being able to talk about him is just extraordinary. One more thing about justin i think you should know. Hes giving life to others right now. His heart, liver and lungs were donted to patients on transplant waiting lists in charlotte and ohio. Much more from charlotte where there is growing pressure of keith scotts shooting. Weve been here before in other Police Shootings. Well back on other cases after videos were made public.

Hillary clinton is calling officials in North Carolina to release the Police Videos showing scott shot. Joe johns joins me now with the latest. What are you learning about the potential visit . Well, among other things anderson, this situation sort of points up the fact that big events like whats going on in charlotte could be a catch 22 for president ial candidates. They risk criticism if they go or dont go. Case in point. No sooner had Hillary Clinton saying she wa going and donald trump considering it that the mayor herself came out and said thanks but no thanks. Listen. I think with we dont have that sound. Reporter we dont have that sound. Essentially what the mayor was saying is that both candidates should delay their trips to her city, saying this is a stressful time. And that resources are limited. Hillary clinton today also tweeted out, calling on the police in charlotte, North Carolina to release the police videotapes of the shooting. The Police Department responding that this is being looked at by the state bureau of investigation, and in fact they will have the final say son whether to release the video. So why is Hillary Clinton hitting this so hard . Shes talked about police use of force, police use of lethal force repeatedly on the campaign trail. And shes also tried to strike a balance, talking about the need to protect first responders. For his part donald trump has talked quite a bit now on the campaign trail about charlotte as an issue of law and order and the need to protect, among other, the African American whose live in that city. Anderson, back to you. And as weve reported the family of keith scott has released footage showing the moments before and after he was killed. It is a difficult cell phone vm to watch that his wife took. Doesnt offer many answers or final answers. The police have body cam and dash cam videos as weve talked about thats not released to the public. The family wants it to be. This isnt the first time theres been pressure for footage to be released. When the video comes out sometimes it is a totally different story than the Police Accounts but that is not to only outcome. A warn you, some of this video is disturbing. Chicago, illinois, october 2014. Shot and killed by Police Officer jason van dyke. Mcdonald was shot 16 times. The officer claimed mcdonald had a knife and refused to drop it. He said mcdonald advanced towards him so he fired. Even after firing 16 shots the officer said mcdonald tried to get up. Well continue to take the necessary steps to build trust between the police and the residents in communities they serve. That may be easier said than done since the video of the shooting released more than a year after the shooting death tells a very different story than the officers account. It was only released after enormous public pressure and a judges court order. Dash cam video shows the vm with a knife but walking away from police. The officer was charged with firstdegree murder and is awaiting trial. Still the city erupted in protests. Ferguson, missouri. After a scuffle at the police car the officer said brown charged him but eye witnesses disputed that. Violent protests broke out. Minutes before brown was shot dead police say he stole cigarettes from a convenient store. Fergusons police chief released video of that robbery, then made this stunning comment. The initial contact between the officer and mr. Brown was not related to the robbery. They were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic. That was it. That just fueled the angers. Protesters blamed police for released the video only to make Michael Brown look like a criminal. When the officer who shot him was not even aware of the robbiery. And now this tulsa oklahoma just last week. Terrence ricrutch terence crutcher, unarmed black man. Suddenly shot by police. Officer shelby said the victim reached inside the car window for what she fears was a gun. The video shows crutcher walking a away with his hands up. But because of the angle. It is impossible to see if he reached in his car or the moment he was shot. The mans family says his window was rolled up. The officer has now been charged with manslaughter. Police say they released the video to help keep the peace. We will not cover anything up. That is not in our dna. They are hoping transparency with the Community Pays off. Randy kay cnn new york. Joining the conversation Bakari Sellers and david. You advocate for people not to jump to conclusions and weight for all the evidence. But as weve seen the videos dont exactly match what and in chicago. Including a removal of the Chicago Police superintendent. So you certainly hear the argument about reliesieasing th videos sooner than later. I agree they should be released. The chicago situation was aabombenable. You had a mayor who was trying to win the election and from my perspective didnt want this to come out and he tried to bury it. So it is a politician who make that decision. My argument is very simple. Once the investigators have buttoned down all of their initial interviews of the witnesses and perhaps the followups, because you might want to go back and get followup interviews to clear up things that you identified in the initial interviews after you compared them. That is the time to go ahead and release the videos. It makes no sense to wait for a year. But it might make a whole lot of sense to wait a week or two and we dont know whats going on behind the scenes in the investigation. So im all time asking people to do is wait until all of the investigative steps that need to be taken to make sure that no witness is going to have access to either another witness or to the video is done and then release it. And i might also add very briefly, that if the police do not follow protocol and you get contaminated statements, that officers the defense attorney a huge opportunity to go ahead and dismiss the entire investigation from that one part. So lets just wait until question have it. Bakari, where do you stand on this . I think first and foremost whats incomplete about mr. Clingers analysis is there is one witness statement that can never be gotten by police because that witness is dead. In these instances we always have this lets make sure we preserve and protect. But who is actually going to give the truth to the people that deserve it. Who is going to give the truth to the families . . This instance right now people just want junz. They just want to know whapd and the publt happened and the public import out weighs the individuals they are protecting. I think it is right to call out the police and to actually release the video so at least we understand what happens because at the end of the day anderson all we want is justice and that dead man cant speak. So to mr. Klingers point, youre never going to have a complete investigation. And there are issues of trust, particularly in communities of color. And in terms of ferguson, video was released about that convenience store, and there was a lot of outrage. The police releasing that to try to influence the publics perception of Michael Brown. Where do you stand on if this video should be released sooner rather than later. Absolutely. People seem to forget that the police work for us. We pay our taxes. We pay their salaries. They are supposed to be here to serve and protect us. Theyre not serving us. Theyre serving themselves. And thats a serious, serious problem. My father, anderson, was a Police Officer for 25 years. And he actually had to kill somebody on the job one time. And so ive seen all the points of view on this, in terms of police conduct, good conduct, and misconduct. And what you see is that you have a scenario where you have certain communities that are under a police state, where the rights of the officer are protected, almost always at the expense of the general public. You cannot operate a democracy in that way. It is not going to work. So this distrust is correctly placed. Its due to extensive, extensive misconduct. Officers thinking theyre bo the law. And if this doesnt change, its only going to get worse. And it may hit a tipping point. Weve got to be real careful. Weve got to take a quick break. Well continue the discussion later on. Were going to well be right back. I was out here smoking instead of being there for my sons winning shot. That was it for me. Thats why im quitting with nicorette.

They released the video in the name of truth and transparency and its just one step in their quest to find the truth. Back with david klinger, Bakari Sellers, and joyce watkins. David, i wonder how much of a difference that it makes that the officer who shot keith scott was africanamerican. I wonder what difference it could make, if any, on the investigation or the publics response. One of the calls when i got into Law Enforcement years ago was to increase diversity. So now we have increased diversity, but we still have the issue. So i dont know if the race of the shooter will matter in this issue. I have no clue. Bakari, what do you think . In the death by Police Shootings that have caused probably some of the biggest controversies, the biggest outrage, the officer has almost always been white, not black, as he is in this case. Well, i think it matters about the victim, and what weve seen is the trend of these victims being africanamerican males. You know, somebodys going to have to ask this officer why there were four officers around with their guns pointed out, and he was the only one who fired the shot. If you look down in charleston, one of the things that stuck out to me, not only did Michael Slager need to be indicted, but you also needed to indict his africanamerican partner who was there and signed off on a false incident report. I dont think it matters. What matters to me is these victims. The video should have been released a along time. Were here still talking about it. The Community Wants to see it. And until that happens, anderson, were going to have people out here who are still fighting for justice and thirsting for leadership. The other side of this, there are leaks coming out of the Police Department about fingerprints, mr. Scotts fingerprints on the gun and other evidence that they see was found. Thats being leaked out. And i guess that adds to the mistrust of people who say, well, if there are selective leaks, why shouldnt all the evidence, all the video be out there . Well, i think thats a great point. I mean, the truth is supposed to set you free. I think there should always be room for the truth in these conversations. You know, every shooting is different, every situation need to be accounted for. But what i think is really important to understand, anderson, as well, is that when people are protesting individual shootings, theyre not just protesting that incident. Theyre protesting decades of community neglect, where drugs and guns replace jobs and education. Theyre protesting 40 years of extreme Police Violence toward people of color. Theyre protesting the fact that there are entire communities that have been neglected by politicians, democrats and republicans alike, who never really came to check on these communities. So, you know, at the end of the day, i hope that people will see that this goes far deeper than just one incident. The incident is the trigger, but there are a lot of issues that we as a country have refused to deal with. Joyce watkins, Bakari Sellers, david klinger, thank you. We have much more ahead in our second hour of 360. Ill talk to the mayor of charlotte about the video that the family released today and what its different from what she has already seen on those Police Videos that have not been released. Great grains cereals are made fromreal fruit,clusters, wholesome nuts and crunchy flakes. Good things come together to make one great thing. Great grains. Why be good when you can be great . Thanks very much for joining us for the second hour of 360. Tonight, there are growing calls for Police Dash Cam and body cam video to be released in the Fatal Shooting of keith scott in North Carolina. Scotts family does want that video to be made public and so the do many of the protesters. Today Hillary Clinton called for the video to be released. Shes scheduled to go to charlotte on sunday. The mayor of charlotte, jennifer roberts, also says she believes the video should be released. The question is about the timing. Ill speak with mayor roberts in just a moment. First, i want to show you video that has been released, not by the police, but by keith scotts family. Its cell phone video that scotts wife took tuesday afternoon when her life changed right in front of her eyes. Tom foreman tonight has details. Tom . Hey, anderson, the video starts with her basic call to the police, dont shoot him, as he is unseen
