Now, it looks like we may hit the 17,000 mark on coin desk and bit stamp it is a little bit lower as you can see there but it definitely is on a tear this morning just an amazing run for this particular crypt ocurrency almost 17,000.

That will show on the ground where the weapon was actually used. so if the cartridge had been discharged, the officer knows even if he had possession of it, its not going to be incapacitating to the officer. so it is not a deadly force threat. >> dan shore, is there anything that this officer could use in his own defense to actually convince anyone that in his mind -- because this is always the standard, in his mind he felt that there was some kind of a threat either to himself or to others as t...

Albeit extraordinarily disturbing set of pictures of a south carolina police officer involved in the shooting of an unarmed man shot in the back as he run away. this as the officer reported in his write-ups that he was afraid for his life. we are about to show you what could be very damning evidence against the officer. he may have actually intentionally dropped his taser close to the body, perhaps in an effort to boost his claim that there was self-defense, that this person had grabbed his tase...

And in a case where its murder, you can bet every moment is going to be litigated with video in a courtroom. dennis root, if i can bling you in on the issue of both of these officers. theres a second officer who shows up at the scene. and the two of them together are, it seems, processing whats happening. but at the same time, like joey jackson just said, not one of them is rendering aid. and yet their police reports all say the same thing, that cpr was administered and that aid was rendered to ...

See his weapon is holstered. is it typical for officers to have tasers holstered on their left-hand side where hes working outside the purview of this camera? >> absolutely. no agencies will require the officer to do cross-draw tooepgs with the taser so they dont have weapon confusion. this way you have the firearm on the right side or left side, whichever the dom hand of the officer is. and you place the taser weapon on the opposite side so they cant unintentionally draw the taser weapon instea...

Shocking video of a police officer fatally shooting a fleeing suspect, shooting him in the back and its even more shocking when you listen to the 911 tape of the incident. >> shots fired. get do subject is down. >> that is the dispatch conversation. the tape also includes a description of the subjects wounds to his chest, chest and right side ending with the word "unresponsive." walter scott was a veteran of the u.s. coast guard. his family says he did not have a history of violence and would no...

But there are other reports, dennis, that show potentially the tase had already happened. the cord from the tase, its almost imperceivable in some of the video, in some of the pictures. but there are reports that say witnesses and the officer himself said he tased the man aleady. does that not therefore render that taser useless, not dangerous, even if the man took the taser? its been used. it can no longer present a threat, right? >> well, once the cartridge has been discharged, once hes fired ...

Father of four and a u.s. coast guard veteran. disturbing bystander video shows the shooting in traffic detail. slagger shot at scott eight times as scott was running away. five of the bullets hit scott, killing him. slagger says he feared for his life when he fired those shots. but the video shows a very different account. im about to show you the entire video of the incident that was shot by that bystander. everything happens very quickly and its not always easy to make out whats happening. so...

Weapon at the pepprpetrator -- e video shows this is not the case in this particular event. once the taser weapon is out of play and the person begins to flee from the officer, the officers application that the shooting of the individual is unreasonable. there is nothing i can find in the video that would justify the application of deadly force in this event. theres no special circumstances known that im aware of about the individual that posed a threat to the public if they were allowed to esca...

He returned to walter scott and there you see what happened next. something flies out of his right hand, something long, something that looks dark. it is not for me to guess what that is because that is terribly unclear video. but i want to bring in dan shore and joey jackson on this. dan, its just uncomfortable to see it. it looks like the taser. >> right. in the officers statements before he knows theres a videotape is that the suspect took his taser. >> grabbed -- >> grabbed. took means hes r...
