suggest that there was any reason for mr. scott to be shot in his back. after all, this began as a traffic stop. the other thing i would say this is an important question. that is whether the officer exercised the best judgement in chasing mr. scott. after all, by chasing mr. scott, he allowed this car with another person to remain there unattended. what would have occurred if that person would have just slipped into the driver s seat and drove that car away? so i wonder i don t wonder. i question whether the appropriate and best police response was to chase mr. scott on foot or whether the response would have been to call for backup radio a description of mr. scott, indicate that he was in flight and see if he could get reinforcements to assist you with this situation. lots of questions. i think it s important discussion about police tactics.

to the top, he then runs away from the vehicle. don lemon, let me get your analysis of what we just saw. well it s interesting that the night after the officer was charged, i asked the brother and the attorney for the family whose car was it. they told me that it was mr. scott s car. and so in the video with the officer, in this dash cam you hear him saying it s not my car yet, i m buying the car, i m in the process, my car is gone, i don t have any paperwork, whathave you. needless to say, he didn t have any of the paperwork but is that a reason to run? i don t think so. what this does it shows what happened before the first video we saw but it doesn t really tell the story of why he ran. i don t know why someone would run if they are in the process of buying a car unless the car is stolen who knows. according to the family the car is not stolen. he was in the process he says of buying the car. still, is that a reason to run? i don t know. definitely not a reason to lose your life b

outside world, just is getting to the family. is he okay the brother? he is okay. he is okay. this is a very strong family a very strong family. well that s good to know. let s talk a little bit about this video, the dash cam video that has just been released. i assume you have seen it now, right? i have not been able to sit down and watch it as closely as i would like to for the first time. but i am aware of what s in the video. do you know why walter scott would, you know he get out of the vehicle and run away? the police officer says stay in the car and he started to run away. do you have any idea why he would do that? i go back to what i still originally think in that is with regard to the child support and a fear of maybe going back to prison after the stop.

Idea
i think that i doubt if this was the best thing to do or the appropriate thing to do which was to give a foot chase based on the information. let me have tom fuentes respond to that. i think it is acceptable. 100% of police officers if somebody runs away in that situation, are going to run after them. why is he running from that car? there have been situations where officers later learned yeah the car was stolen could be a body in the trunk, cohave just committed a bank robbery. the person just doesn t jump out of a car and run away at full speed without reason. a police officer is going to want to know that reason and verify that he s not a threat. hold on for a second. there you see him, i want to cue this up because at one point, walter scott opens the door after the police officer, michael slager goes back to his police vehicle. there you see he s opening the door. the police officer cries out get back in your car. he gets back in the car. the police officer s doing what he
