The scene thoshl sea last night a second night of violence after Police Fatally shot scott. The video doesnt even support their contention that he had a gun. Here is the police chief. I dont have any visual definitive evidence that i can show and i can see him actually holding and pointing a gun at an officer. The attorney for scotts family says there are witnesses who say scott was holding only a book other whose say he had nothing at all in his hands and they say scotts wife of 20 years is one of those witnesses. And moments ago the president weighing in about civil unrest in the nation without
specifically mentioning charlotte. The overwhelming majority of people who have been concerned about Police Community relations doing it the right way. Every once in a while you see folks doing it the wrong way. Our coverage out front in charlotte, ed, the scott family has been asking to see the video for days and days. The police saw it. The family hadnt seen it but tonight they finally have. About an hour ago the family of Keith Lamont Scott left the Police Station here in charlotte, North Carolina after being given the chance to see the body cam and dash cam footage. They left without making any comments. And scotts family, his attorney also wouldnt say if what they saw matched the version and the descriptions that the police chief here in charlotte has been making over the last couple of days. All of this as the city of charlotte prepares and waits to see what will unfold on the streets tonight. Anger boiling over on the streets of chorlt, North Carolina. Arlotte, North Carolina. A second night of violent protests sparked by the death of Keith Lamont Scott a black man shot and killed by police in the parking lot of a apartment complex. Police say scott had a gun in hand and ignored repeated demands to drop it. Police are still refusing to release video of the dash cam of the shooting. Charlottes police chief says the video is inconclusive on a most crucial point. The angle at which hes standing, i cant see his hands. Therefore i cant see a weapon or pointing a weapon that would be in his hands. I cant see based on the angle that definitive piece of visual evidence that i need. Reporter scotts daughter was distraught on hearing the news of her fathers death. Attorneys for the family insist that is just the Police Version of events. We still dont know if there was or was not a gun even there. There are witnesses who are saying that no gun was there. But a photo taken at the crime scene shows a handgun near scotts body. Protests that began peacefully last night quickly escalated. A protester was shot outside a Downtown Hotel last night. Hes alive but in critical condition. At the scene tear gas was fired to break up the growing and increasingly angry crowd. Im not afraid that have [ bleep ]. Protesters taunted police. Rocks thrown, cars s s set fire. Cars stomped. And people including several journalists, randomly assaults on the street. Other people tried to come in and grab those people. Including me. As bad as that looked. A little while later there was in. Im the guy who knocked you
over. Im sorry. I completely apologize for all this right here. That aint got nothing do with me. But im standing right hoo here in the middle in the front line holding my fists up because i want change. Reporter erin in the last couple of nights the disruption and protests have really erupted in parts of the city so it is hard to predict where and when this will unfold the same way again. National guard will be out in force, as well as state troopers, as well as police and possibly right here the way we saw last night. They anticipate all that. Theres been some talk and question about whether or not the police chief would institute a curfew. The police chef doesnt want to yet but if he needs to hell consider that erin. Outfront tonight. Todd walker. Sergeant, thank you very much for being with us. The police chief putny said, and ill quote him. He said the video does not give me absolute definitive evidence that would confirm a person is pointing a gun. Did you get the same impression when you watched the video . I can only echo what the chief has already said. Because this is an active investigation. It is very clear that mr. Scott exited the vehicle with a handgun in his hand no question to you that it couldnt have been anything else. A book or anything else. You are sure it was a gun. Oh im positive a hundred percent that it was a gun and it was a gun that was recovered from the scene. The officers sergeant were on their way to serve a warrant to
someone else, not the victim. The chief said that scott had gotten out of the vehicle armed with a handgun and then said the officer saw him get back into the car, then they went up to the car, they engaged the subject. From the video, do you have the whole time line from before this all started all the way through . Are you able to tell why he got out of the car in the first place . What are you able to tell there . It is a very short manner of time once he exit the vehicle at the commands of the officers hes then given demands to crop the weapon. Repeatedly, to drop the weapon. And he refuses to do so. And when he got out of car i know he got out of car and then got back in the car and out of the car. Are you able to determine whether the first time he had a gun or got back in the car and then came out with a gun . The portion of the video that ive seen did not include or i didnt witness the first exit of
the video. So only the second exit. Okay. You know, just vying to think about what happened at that moment. The officers were as we said there for another purpose, to serve a warrant to somebody else. Scott may not have been expected them. He might have been very surprised by them coming up. We know the officer who shot scott was in plain clothes. Do you think it is at all possible scott didnt see the vest and didnt know it was a legitimate skpifr might have thought oh my gosh here is someone armed whos coming at me . To judge what hes thinking i cant do that. But ive got over 26 years an and 30 years in civil service. I could tell you from experience. When i hear someone yell police and they are standing there with a police vest that says police
across the chest, im going to kn assume they are police. I cant answer for him and what he was thinking or the judgment he made. And sergeant, obviously you are the former president of the fraternal order of police and also an officer in the Investigations Unit now. As a member of the charlotpolic, what is your view of the last few nights. Well the last new nights ive been very proud of our officer, the men and women out on the streets. Ive been very proud of my members, the fraternal order of police and their conduct out there. How they are handling themselves. I still say this is not charlotte that is out here. These are outside entities that are coming in and causing these problems. These are not protesters. These are criminals. Protesters fight for a cause. They sit down and discuss it. These are protesters that commit crime. They are criminal. They are out here for a different purpose. They are not here to resolve issues and to resolve problems. They are out here for their own good. You are saying all the people on the streets are not from charlotte . Im not saying all of the people. But we got the instigators that are coming in from the outside. You heard reports even last night they were coming in on buses from out of state. If you go back and look at some of the arrests that were made last night, i can about say probably 70 of those ad out of state ids. They are not coming from charlotte. Yeah we have some people here in charlotte that are upset because they dont have all the answers. Well we dont have all the answers either and that is why we have to trust in the system and do a thorough investigation to get to all the answers. Thank you. Appreciate your time tonight. Thank you. Out front now. Bill stanton and paul martin whos represented Police Officers involved in shootings. I want to start by confirming to viewers, last night many of you heard about the protester who was shot. We can confirm the bad news that that protester now has officially died. So someone has now died in these protests. You just heard Sergeant Walter say he was hundred percent certain scotts holding a gun. Hundred percent. Without question. I spoke to him just before the Charlotte Police chief ho who saw the same video and said i couldnt see his hands. To see if there was a gun. They seem to be saying conflicting things. Does this video need to be released so everyone can see for themselves. Absolutely the video needs to be released. 2 reason why . It is going to be leaks anyway. And so the Police Department and the city need to get in front of the story because it is leading
total conjecture by everybody and whatever party you are from you are going to make it the extreme in that area. They saw the same video but. Well obviously the video is not definitive to what transpired. If it was, it would have been released. I thought it was interesting by the sergeants interview, if you take it back 50 years, he said the same thing that wolf connor said. These outside agitators are coming in here and what they are doing is they are acting like criminals. The same attitude of the deep south fifty years ago. People are shooting people. People are looting. And i dont call these folks that are engaging in this protesters. I call them rioter and i cocall them criminals. Where am i wrong in that. If someone is looting. When you are breaking in a window and saling a merchants item, how is that a protest . Thats not civil disa obedience. There were numerous individuals sitting in front of Police Officers, raising their hands, raising an issue regarding the fact that this situation has to stop. The death of men black men in america, this has to be addressed. Counselish no you said they were all criminals and what im trying to say to you is they werent protesting. And what i thought was interesting last night, those individuals that were commenting on television wanted them arrested. And that is exactly what the people protesting want too. The 70 of people arrested last night. His number, were from out of state. A what does that mean . That means we have a group of individuals that care about what is transpiring across the nation and coming there to make a statement. And that statement is to loot, to harm people can is to spit on cops. Is that the statement . We dont know first of all. There were people arrested sitting in front of the Police Officers that were protesting. So no one looted wait wait it. There were people protesting and acting in a manner that was appropriate that i saw were dragged behind the line because of what they were saying. Now destroying of property serves no purpose. I agree with you a hundred percent. So these are rioters, those arent protesters. Were in agreement. I agree with you a hundred percent. But the majority of the people that i saw were protesting and the protesting in the right way. Next, the Police Officer who shot and killed this unarmed black man is facing charges tonight. And donald trump says drugs are a very, very big part of what you are seeing on tv at night. Is he talking about charlotte . And more breaking news. Suspects returned home that night after the bombings. Did his family know . Some relationships you stick with. Over time, they get even better.

The officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man in tulsa, oklahoma charged tonight with manslaughter. Terren in the matter of the death of Terence Crutcher, i determine that the filing of the felony crime of manslaughter in the first degree against tulsa Police Officer betty shelby is warranted. While the family grieves her death the a key issue. Whether crutcher was reaching for something inside his suv window before he was shot. She was yelling at him to
stop for probably at least 10 to 15 seconds. He gets to the window of the suv and has his hands in the air, looks down the side of the car at officer shelby and his hand goes into the window. They point to enhanced picture of the window in question. You can see that it is completely up and there is blood going almost to the top of the window. We analyzed the video frame by frame zooming in. It appears that the window is up and a reflection of his arms are in the window. Outside of Law Enforcement pastor ray owen was one of the first to look at the video. What did you see . My impression was that he was actually leaning gensz the car so as to position him to not be a threat. I did not see anything in that video that suggests that the Police Officer should have viewed Terence Crutcher as a
threat. Reporter while evidence can seem conclusives experts say it is never the only evidence brought to trial. It is inclusive it is not conclusi conclusive. It is just a piece of the entire puzzle. To give you taste of what could happen at trial we got off the phone with another person who looked at the video. He said hes not sure the window is all the way up. He says it might be down a bit and the reflection may have been just the seat belt with a bit of blood on it. This is the kind of thing at trial duelling experts saying Different Things and the jury had to decide for themselves looking at the totality of the evidence. Up front now benjamin crump. The attorney for the crutcher family. Officer shelby now charged with manslaughter. Does the family, your client,
think that this is enough . Well the mother and father are relieved that there are charges brought. There are some in the community believe they saw murder occur on that video. Slow motion documentation of another person of color being gunned down by Law Enforcement where there was no articulate reason that she needsed to use force. The other question here is do what happened . Was a factor in well, certainly when you think about everything thats been happening around america and you hear the Helicopter Police for whatever reason pre judge him, says he looks like a
big, bad dude, when hes not committed a crime. Hes not been accused of committing a crime. Hes only had his automobile in distress. And he should be given consideration like every american citizen but yet often times people of color are treated like a suspect a criminal or doing something nefarious and that is the crux of the matter here. That is why we have whats going on in charlotte and whats been going on in other places this past year. You know, donald trump talked act this case. As you are probably aware. He spoke about Terence Crutcher. He said he was troubled by the footage. He had a specific motivation on this of what he thought was to blame. Instead he said this. Here he is. Trens terence. Did she get scared. Was she choking . What happened. Maybe people who choke cant be doing what they are doing. Do you agree with donald trump that perhaps she was just scared and unprepared. His word choked . Well i
