black man killed by our police there. >> here in our area, allegations of racial profile led to an interm investigation after a college student was slammed to the ground, but today the d.c. chief is defending the officer's actions while the lawyer blasted the investigation and its results. meagan fitzgerald is live with our story. meagan? >> chief linear wanted a thorough investigation of this incident for transparency purposes so everyone can understand what happened. jason goolsby says that report is inaccurate and he said his client was targeted because he's black. >> he didn't do nothing. >> reporter: a video compelled so much, but it can also bring so many questions. goolsby's friend started recording after officers started restraining him in october and it all started from a 911 call and a woman thought the teen and his friend looked suspicious at an atm in capitol hill. the dispatcher got it wrong

reporting the teens may have been robbing people, but it was later corrected. chief kathy linear discussed it at a press conference. >> i think the confusion in the radio transmission doesn't help, but i don't think it alone is a factor in this at all. i think this is one of those things that added some confusion in a situation that was unfolding very quickly. >> reporter: goolsby's attorney says that type of mistake is inexcusable and led the officers to believe his client was a suspect. when the officers arrived the police report says goolsby ran because he said he feared for his life. when they caught up to him, the report said his hands were in his backpack. officers asked him to show his hands and he refused and that's when they moved in to restrain him. linear says body cameras would have painted a more thorough picture of what happened. >> it would have captured more perspective and it would have captured what led up to that initial contact. >> it's one more tool officers should have on the field, as

well so video would provide more answers than lingering questions. >> our policy requires they activate the body camera as soon as they receive the call. >> reporter: in an email to news 4, goolsby's attorney says please be very clear, jason never reached for his backpack which remained on his back. how could he supposedly be fleeing the officer while also unzipping his backpack on his back? greenier also says that his client is innocent and that he will continue to press this issue moving forward. it's certainly important to note that goolsby and his friend were never arrested and if you're interested in reading his attorney's statement in its entirety you can do so by logging on to nbcwashington.com. >> meagan fitzgerald, thank you. >> in chicago the city is bracing for new rounds of protests over a deadly police shooting there. one called for protesters to shut down a busy retail corridor

thought about it. my contract ends after this season so i'm just focused on right now, here and now and trying to make the most of it. >> the redskins remain focused on the weekend ahead and a big-time matchup and the new york jets or giants, i should say, battle for first place in the division and a chance to gain momentum as they head into december. especially after sunday's loss to carolina. after that game, some finger-pointing from jason hatcher suggesting the team name is not getting calls from official. here's what hatcher had to say about those comments today. >> i don't remember that. i don't remember that. i'm focused on the giants and i don't remember that. >> nothing about the bad calls? >> i don't know what you all are talking about? >> the name of the team maybe? >> i don't remember saying that. i don't even know why we're on this subject? what's going on with the team name? i must be going crazy. i don't remember. >> jason hatcher throws that out there after the game and then today he --

one area of our game is really good and another area is not so good. i want it to be a little more consistent in every area possible. >> to the nba the wizards back at it tonight and they're coming off a loss last night in indiana that snapped a three-game winning streak schedule and it really starts to pick up for the wizards in the next three weeks and they'll play four games a week and all of the games in the eastern conference and they played the least amount of any of the teams so far. the legend, nba hall of fame center and dikembe mutombo. they retired his number 55 and they're honoring his work at the humanitarian work, and his native congo and a special night for the all-star and mutombo giving them one last one.
