it s so contradictory to the video here. absolutely. but that s to be expected in a case where the officer, i m sure the officer after the fact realized oh my god, what did i do? you think as soon as he s fired shots? by the way, this is no way shape or form anything close to the hikemichael brown shooting. with respect to the speaker, michael brown was the bad actor. this is totally different. to make that comparison is not fair and not just. we understand at a certain point, and we should talk about that as well. what do you think about that? the hands up don t shoot narrative has turned out to be false in this case. you look at this video for instance and see walter scott clearly running away from the officer. let s be clear, it has not been determined by a court of law. that was a specific legal
case. 7 news did not approach any juror or talk to any juror. we did not video tape or take pictures of any juror. we are continuing to work with the court and investigate the situation. right now the judge is deciding whether anything unfortunate happened, whether the jurors were improperly gotten close to in any way. if she wants to do it she could yank the credentials of that television station from this courthouse. we re waiting for that decision. all right susan, we ll keep an eye out for that as well. next back to south carolina. we re a waiting two big events related to the shooting. we re about to hear from a man that says he was tased by this very officer. don t miss a that. plus walter scott s family is about to speak out live. the mother is speaking out about her personal tragedy now unfolding on the national stage.

see this video and think about what happened. well it s a pleasure to be with you. i did say in many ways this man was shot down like a run away slave. some say that s a bit strong. you have to understand the history of this country. from years and years, all the way from slavery times, people of color have been facing this criminalization where they have essentially have gone through life always with this fear of being killed. now the case of walter scott is very serious. frankly, i think the only reason why we re talking about it to the extent we are is because there was a video tape. the black community has known for years these types of incidents happen. it s just the issue of the fact there has not been a video a tape in many instances.
god will fix it. what do you think of the person who came forward with this video? he was there. god planned that. he s the ram in the bush. i truly believe that. because some people would have been scared and run away. he not only stayed but approached the police officer to get closer video. have you been able to talk to him or thank him? no. what would you want to say to him? i would want to thank him for what he did. do you believe something like this has happened before here but nobody knows about it because there s not a video tape? yes. i do believe that. is that something you ve always felt? well there are i hate to say it but there s some dirty cops. i know the chief of police i understand came by member of
