The officer is accused of killing terrorists fletcher. Parents mr. Fletcher. Police did not find any weapons. We continue to follow developing news out of Charlotte North Carolina where the National Guard has been mobilized and police are bracing for more potential violence. This is the third night a protest following the deadly shooting of a black man. Today the police chief said he would not release a video footage that could settle the different accounts. He said he would show the dashcam footage to the victims family. Officers claim the suspect was armed with a gun. The video does not give me absolute definitive visual evidence that would confirm that a person is pointing a gun. Some witnesses and have a different account of the shooting claiming that scott was
Permeate over time if we dont do something about it now. So it doesnt help us to just kind of wait to do something. Now, when i describe, you know, in what i recommended about, you know the combination of elements of National Power i mean, you just look at the Information Campaign that is being waged not by just isis, but by alqaeda writ large and the way that theyre able to do it the sophistication that theyre able to do it, i mean, that campaign alone the military has some little bits and pieces of trying to counter that on a tactical battlefield, but there has to be a broader imagination that this country working with partners and working with some of these, you know, these socalled moderate nations. And i say that in my statement about we have partners out there and, you know weve got to really be honest with ourselves about some of these partners.
