over for a seat belt violation. and if you read the highway patrolman s, officer s statement in that case you would have thought he was a hero. but when you look at the dashboard video camera it s totally inconsistent. this is an issue that we must address nationally. because i suspect it s a larger problem. and obviously you got a start at home if you have a culture issue there, you need to deal with it that s why the investigation of these other officers and the leadership that came out echoing that officer s story early on is just as important part of the analysis as the video from the brave young man. but ms. williams mr. kimpson, thank you so much for representing local leadership there and the desire to see things be better in the the future. appreciate it. thank you. you know what the questions are here the big one probably isn t the body camera it s pretty obvious why not have body cameras? is it just about money, they
don t know when the filming of the video stops, we don t know when more officers arrived, that somebody doesn t start it. of course you re right, the point is it didn t happen in the first two minutes. the video lasts two minutes, it didn t happen in those critical first moments of the injury. yes, we know that it didn t happen right away. and obviously there s discrepancies in the report. i d like to add that this officer would not be in custody charged with murder were it not for this video. however, his story would have unravelled over time with the work of the forensic investigators, with the work of especially the state police now are handling the investigation by by south carolina law. and the fbi conducting a parallel civil rights investigation. so the forensics in this case would not have backed up what the officer said as far as the entire incident. and the entire crime scene. so it would have unravelled it just would have unrachled in three days time as it did in this ca
near as interesting. think it s a personal issue. and we ought to leave it as a personal issue. i respect the lgbt community. i respect the traditional marriage community. i think that s enough to be said about it. leave it to the personal issues to the personal people. it would be if it were a balanced playing field. the problem is you have the lgbd community feeling they re being discriminated unfairly as a class and we have a culture shift going on within the justice system. we know the big case coming up the windsor case gets extended in gay marriage and that s what fuelled the rfra laws creating a legal backstop. you know what i would like to see? please. i would like to see as much emphasis on the rights of christians and people who are members of the faith community, as there is to some of the other groups. who gets more protection?
without knowing if it was true. what the officer was saying which really is a part of the systemic problem. the cooperation between the police department and the police officers story and so quickly to put that out as the truth. when we can so clearly see that that was not what happened at all. so yesterday the mayor said that all police officers are not even trained in cpr. which seems alarming just as a citizen. to think you can actually take someone s life but you cannot save it. tom, how do you explain the discrepancy with the cpr? we don t see the entire tape. we don t know if at a later time somebody does. but second of all, having been a street police officer, oftentimes you worry about doing more harm. so if they came up and see that you have a body that s been shot several times, in this case there were reports that one of the bullets was through the heart, so cpr can actually do more damage than good. then why would the police officer write in the incident report b
conference that was called in city hall. i do want to show once again. i want to show a clip of that. this not to say that your community is not angry. there have been demonstrations and they are expressing anger. let me show you what happened while the police chief was speaking. any questions chief, chief, can i ask no justice, no peace. no justice, no peace! no justice, no peace! now mr. bryant you hear them saying no justice, no peace there is justice as much as our criminal justice system has charged this officer with murder. he is behind bars. what is the community calling for? the community is calling for a dialogue with the police department and information and the truth. that s what they re asking for. significantly important in this case is the fact that there s such urgency for the truth to come out. because it did come out early, it put a calming effect across
