That, david. >> no, sir. i opened my statement, saying that i think i understand why the officer was acquitted. i believe he was acquitted because the jury looks at the video and they cant see whats going on. and they believe that perhaps he reached for the gun, creating reasonable doubt. >> ive gotta go. im so over im going to get in trouble. im sorry, everyone. i wish we could continue this conversation, but unfortunately, we cannot. thats it for us. thanks for watching, ill see you right back...
