it's a different city than charleston south carolina. ther but two different cities. north charleston is 47% african-american 37% white, 80% of the police force though is white. is that an issue as far as you are concerned? >> i think that police departments should reflect the makeup of their community. certainly, it is an issue, wolf. again, as we though a spotlight -- we see something interesting. we see a community which is if you will what might be classified as a suburban community on the outskirts of a major city or a larger city. charleston being a major city in america and a larger city than north charleston. we saw the same thing with ferguson on the outskirts of st. louis. so we see this under representation that seems to be present again in this police department. but i have to say, across the board, while it is an issue, the use of force and the inappropriate use of force is the issue, is the paramount issue no matter what the color of the officers who may be carrying out that excessive use of force. >> we are getting more inf

cnn, north charleston, south carolina. >> and coming up next, the police taser. did walter scott grab it? did he take it? did the police officer who shot him drop it? that weapon is one of the keys to this case. we've got some veteran police officers coming up to talk about what they see in this very damming video. know your financial plan won't keep you up at night. know you have insights from professional investment strategists to help set your mind at ease. know that planning for retirement can be the least of your worries. with the guidance of a pnc investments financial advisor, know you can get help staying on track for the future you've always wanted. in the country. we operate just like a city, and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal, generating electricity on-site, and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we're very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment. boy: once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. one day, it s
