4:04 am
have we heard from them. >> reporter: yeah, the scott family has released a statement calling for peace telling people while they have every right to protest to keep it nonviolent, don't target police officers, don't turn to looting. we've also heard from the governor as well as the state attorney general calling for peace. >> well, calm has returned as you see there to the streets of charlotte, but, again, tonight, i'm sure many people expected another night of violence. what are they doing to prepare? >> reporter: the city is several preparing even now there are still police officers out. when we arrived on the scene there were dozens on this block. they've even began cleaning the streets and so they're trying to get back to some type of normal here in charlotte. but some of the cops we talked to have already said they're preparing for a third night of violence here as well just in case. >> the mayor of charlotte says she might look at the possibility of a possible curfew but we will see. maggie rulli there for us in charlotte, thank you. >> maggie, thanks. so far officials are refusing to release that footage as maggie mentioned. >> a photo taken shortly after
4:05 am
the shooting appears to show a gun at scott's feet. now, the mayor says she and investigators will review video of the shooting this morning. abc news contributor and former fbi special agent in charge steve gomez explains why the delay making the video public. >> they don't want to put something out there like the video that could be interpreted in many different ways. they want to try to get the investigation as tight as possible so when they release it they'll be able to release almost everything which will explain what really happened. there's only so much that law enforcement can do. you get people that want to act out like this, i mean they're going to be able to do it. it's even harder when you have a lot of people doing it because now it's a matter of who are you going to go arrest. are the officers vulnerable. they almost have to create that kind of line that you see when there's that type of activity. and they have to start containing the situation as they then try to move the crowds. the biggest problem is that that fracture, that lack of trust between community and law

4:07 am
>> during a town hall at that same church trump called for a nationwide policy of stop and frisk, a controversial police tactic that allows officers to stop and search anyone they deem suspicious. >> clinton is earning union workers to intervene if they know someone who plans to vote for trump. she made her pitch by video conference telling the workers that the choice for working families has never been clearer. >> make sure everyone you know understands the stakes in this race. and you know if you do know somebody who might be thinking of voting for trump, stage an intervention. try to talk some sense into them. lay out the facts. >> clinton went on to slam trump's business record saying he hired a union busting firm to stop workers at his las vegas hotel from organizing. breaking news, the pilot of an american fighter jet that crashed has been rescued off okinawa. the pilot of the marine corps harrier ejected safely and was
