9/26/16- Roland Martin talks to Wesley Lowery of the Washington Post and New York Daily News’ Editor Shaun King about the latest in the case of Keith Lamont Scott and the unrest in the city of Charlotte. “I can tell you dozens of cases where the police said one thing and the video shows […]
Reviewing the videos, neither police dashcam or body-camera footage, shows the slain man pointing a gun at police officers.
What the video does not show is the exact moment Scott is shot on Tuesday by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers, but you can hear four shots fired in the background.
"Release the tape," and "we want the tape" echoed through the downtown area directed at Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney, who announced Thursday he would not publicly release dash cam footage capturing Scott's shooting.
Taheshia Williams claims that the police are lying and trying to cover-up their "mistake." Meanwhile, police chief maintains that Scott was armed, despite reviewed video lacking “definitive, visual evidence that would confirm that a person is pointing a gun."
Police Chief Kerr Putney prematurely declared the man's death Wednesday night, but later corrected the statement early Thursday morning. The city also corrected the news on their Twitter account.
Sherman's comments on Wednesday are starkly different from previous comments he made in July 2016, when he doubled down on previous "all lives matter" comments in response to the rally cry, "Black Lives Matter."
B.J. Murphy discusses the latest developments on the ground in Charlotte following a night of unrest.
Initially, the city tweeted that the person was killed, but in a second tweet, city officials said the person was in critical condition on life support.
