Charlotte police release video of fatal shooting after protests
CHARLOTTE, N.C: Charlotte police released body camera and dashboard videos on Saturday showing the fatal shooting of a black man that triggered protests in the **rth Carolina city, but the footage did **t show whether the victim was holding a gun.
A dashboard camera from a police car showed Keith Scott, killed on Tuesday, exiting his car and backing away from it. police shout to him to drop the gun, but it is **t clear that he has anything in his hand. Then shots break out and Scott drops to the ground. A second body camera video from an ******r does **t show the moment of shooting. It shows Scott outside his vehicle before he is shot, but it is **t clear whether he has something in his hand. Then the ******r moves and Scott is out of view until he is seen on the ground. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Kerr Putney an**unced the release of the video at an earlier briefing, following days of demonstrations at which protesters demanded that authorities allow the public to see clips of the Tuesday shooting. Putney said before releasing the footage that the videos themselves were "insufficient" to prove that Scott held a gun. But the totality of evidence did, he said. “There is ** definitive visual evidence that he had a gun in his hand, you can see something in the hand, and that he pointed it at an ******r. That I did **t visually see in the video,” Putney said. “But what we do see is compelling evidence that, when you put all the pieces together, supports that." Police also released pictures including one of a handgun it says was recovered at the scene and an ankle holster police say Scott was wearing. The news conference came as demonstrators on Saturday mounted a fifth day of protests in Charlotte. They called for the end of emergency measures imposed on the city this week, the removal of National Guard troops and for ******rs involved in the incident to be prosecuted. The shooting of Scott, a 43-year-old father of seven, was the latest in a ****** of deadly police encounters across the country in recent years that has raised questions about the use of force by US law enforcement against African-Americans and other mi**rities. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Charlotte police release video of fatal shooting after protests || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
