when i look at dash cam video. but i don t think it reveals anything more than what mr. santana s video reveals, which is that this gentleman was murdered, shot in the back as he was trying to run from law enforcement. the videotape says everything here. when we watch walter scott in the santa a video as he is being shot and killed watching this man lose his life on tv and we go back to rodney king first time we saw that altercation between police and civilian. what do you make of that arch we are now in? this is the arch i am most concerned about, arch from rodney king to walter scott video, how many of these videos have we seen how many times have we seen them. the reality is that i believe the american public will become desensitized to the videos and won t be able to continue the pressure on law enforcement to get this right. the media is in a tricky place,
i don t want to censor. we have to challenge people to be more media literate understand they re going to be inundated with these videos. and there s a consequence. look at 2014 how many police videos we have. isil videos. video games, hollywood, tv. there s tremendous amount of violence. we are not media literate enough to process and keep things in perspective. we are seeing everyday citizens standing up saying i am going to record what i think needs to be recorded. that s maybe a positive thing. it is. the santana video shows us vigilance is the most powerful narrative against police violence. developing political news next 72 hours will kick the 2016 race for president into high gear. nbc news confirms hillary clinton will kickoff her white house bid as early as sunday. we are told it will be via social media with campaign stops
arrested for back child support. tomorrow scott will be laid to rest. for the first time his family met with zaden santana, who caught that deadly shooting on his cell phone, dramatically changing the direction of the investigation and leading to murder charges filed against now fired officer michael slager. craig melvin was there for that emotional meeting. take a look. reporter: richard, good morning. the new dash cam footage fills in some of the blanks of what led to that deadly shooting but not all. it does not show the actual struggle. when the dash cam video begins at least the portion we see, officer michael slager is pulling over walter scott into a parking lot because of a broken taillight. then he walks up to the car, asks scott for his license and registration. scott tells him he recently bought the car from a neighbor the officer goes back to his car. then scott a few seconds later bolts from the car, takes off running. that s the end of the dash cam
released in the last 24 hours, reporting what it means to the investigation as they move forward. we will go to craig melvin who had that key individual with the individual that shot the video, that cell phone video of what happened when eight shots came from officer slager and walter scott was shot dead. let s watch that piece from craig melvin now. this is santana. this is zaden santana. oh, thank you, god. oh, thank you, god. thank you, lord. blessed god. blessed god. thank you. thank you, god. thank you. thank you. thank god for you. thank god for you. bless you, bless you, bless you. does this help put you all at peace? glorious. hallelujah. i want to say thank you, too,
