cnn's martin savidge has the story. >> reporter: a 2009 investigation found that deputy robert bates was insufficiently trained and gimp special treatment including policies violated and continues to be violated with regard to special treatment shown to reserve deputy robert bates with regard to his field training. the investigation included interviews with employees who said they felt intimidated by sheriff's officials to help bates. one of the supervisors said when bates was confronted about overstepping his training and authority, bates reportedly replied, well, i can do it, and if you don't like it you can talk to sheriff glanz. those training concerns have resurfaced in the aftermath of the shooting of eric harris a suspect in an undercover law enforcement sting who fled authorities. bates said he killed harris by accident believing he was using his taser when in reality he fired his gun. >> oh, i shot him, i'm sorry. >> reporter: the attorney for harris' family said bates wasn't qualified to be on the force but received treatment because he donated money. >> i was referred to m

back to you. >> that was our martin savidge there. now there are new and troubling questions stemming from that video, and it is graphic. officer michael slager is seen apparently dropping something near walter scott's body. at this point he is actually face down. now some are asking whether that was routine or whether slager had tried to plant evidence to justify the shooting. our kim law reports. >> reporter: officer michael slager shooting walter scott is shocking enough, but it is this moment, says los angeles defense attorney, derek cavanoke, that is something he's never seen. >> it looks like the officer is dropping an object. we see him drop the taser there or what appears to be a taser. i've never had the kind of corroborating evidence that this particular piece of tape represents, but i've heard the complaints over and over and over again. it's a common experience. >> reporter: frequent claims by suspects alleging police planting evidence have been difficult to prove. in the late 1990s more than 70 officers in the lapd's ram

cnn's martin savidge is in north charleston in front of city hall. tell us more martin. >> reporter: there's a demonstration going on as you so pointed out. it's under the broad banner of black lives matter. there are people here from the local community and elsewhere. there's probably several dozen people. they've been expressing a number of points of view. one of them has been that there should be the stepping down of the mayor of this community. also they pointed out that there is a difference between the racial mix of the police officers which is about 70% white, versus the community which is about 50% african-american. and then on top of that there is just the anger over the shooting itself. here's some of what was said. >> this has been a long standing affair. this has been a long standing occurrence and something that we've had to live with. what you're going to hear is the passion of the people right now. not reacting to a video like you might be reacting to but reacting to a live situation and opportunity to finally share with the world and f

>> yes, he should have been. >> martin savidge joins me now. you tell us about the new information submitted to the district attorney's office? >> anderson this came out late this afternoon and essentially it seems to be referring to the 2009 memo. and in the statement it says new information has been submitted to this office regarding the actions in the sheriff's office that are worm worthy of -- worthy of further information b beyond the scope of this manslaughter case. it implies the d.a. has a new investigation. and new documents from the tulsa county sheriff's office and they will cooperate with the new investigation and they're launching an investigation of their own to find out how the 2009 memo got released to the public. >> in that 2009 memo, i think it is eye-opening because multiple officers are reporting the pressure that they felt the intimidation they felt from supervisors in support of bates. >> exactly that. and it appears the pressure came from very high places and it begs the question if there were violations as severe as poin

martin savidge is following the latest developments for us from north charleston. good morning, martin. >> reporter: good morning, carol. by now we're all foom with that horrific video that was taken by the bystanders that shows the shooting that triggered all of this event. what many people are not aware of you've already alluded to a lot of other videos out there, not a lot, but a number. it's police video of the dash cams. it will be very interesting to see what they show and tell because as of yet they have not yet been released. >> no justice. >> no peace. >> reporter: days after the release of this shocking video north charleston now feeling the fallout. >> black lives matter. >> reporter: demonstrators gathered in front of city hall demanding the mayor resign and more officers be arrested as the investigation into the shooting death of walter scott by officer michael slager intensifies. >> [ bleep ]. >> reporter: in the immediate aftermath of the shooting slager seen here being debriefed by another officer, described a scuffle and playing through an attorney

martin savidge is in north charleston following this story. martin, what are you hearing from the community this morning? >> reporter: good morning, kate. there was a protest that just ended only moments ago. it was under the broad banner of black lives matter and it was several dozen people. the community here is basically saying especially those who have been protesting police practices, we told you so. only now that this video is out and shows a very blatant shooting does the general public begin to doubt what have been previous accounts by police officers when it comes to victims who have died at the hands of law enforcement. so there is anger. there are people who are saying we should have been paying attention to this far sooner and it's only when confronted with video that you can say is almost irrefutable that the public really takes notice here. they've been asking for the mayor to step down. they've been asking for changes in the police force. the family of walter scott has been speaking out. here is his brother talking on "new day" e

here's our martin savidge who was inside the funeral. >> reporter: far more people showed up to attendfit inside his family's church. many had to stand outside or in the hallways or anyplace they could catch a glimpse or hear something. up with of the more powerful statements was made by walter scott's brother, anthony, who said walter was selected for a candidate of change in america. it was a common theme. the pastor said there will be change so walter's death would not be in vain. one of the more somber moments came when one of walter scott's children is a manta, a young girl read a poem to her father. you could see those in the congregation were absolutely caught up and listening to every word. in fact there were tears and at the end there was applause. the service is over and now a private burial has taken place for walter scott. on the other side of this equation there is the family of officer michael slager. his mother and wife were able to have a visit with him in the county detention center. that took place yesterday. they met, as prisoners do with glass in between. now that t

martin savidge is in charleston with more. any word on when that dash cam video will be made public? >> reporter: no carol. we have not had an update on when the video will be released. really trying to from talking to officials, understand what could be on that video and what may or may not be seen and heard. first and foremost you're only going to have the initial cash dam from officer slager when he made the stop. yes, we have the police reports, those made by other officers. many people find those in question given what the video showed versus what the officer said. then there were going to be the things you won't see. the shooting takes place out of the range of the dash cam it's believed. there might still be audio. there could be something that gives us an indication. of course any additional information for an investigation like this is sincerely wanted carol. >> something else people are eager to hear somebody else i should say people eager to hear from there was another man inside the car when mr. scott was pulled ov

cnn's martin savidge joins us now. first, tell us about the funeral. we understand that they do not want cameras inside but over to the -- open to the public. >> good morning, victor christi. i should point out that her that carries the casket arrived a few moments ago. interesting to point out it did have a police escort two motorcycle officers in front of the hearst as it pulled into the christian plinstrys where the funeral service is taking place. it is clear already that looks like the number of people who want to attend this funeral is going to be larger than the number of seats or space inside to be able to handle all of them. those people right now are still outside and they are watching as things take place there. it is open to the public. anyone is allowed to attend but regards to the media, it has been requested that there be no cameras inside and there will be no cameras inside. and at this particular point there's no broadcast that will come from this service. this is at the specific request of the family. they wanted to keep at least this

criminal justice experts weigh in on what we see but first, martin savidge on all the major developments up till now. >> reporter: one day after releasing this shocking video -- >> no justice! no peace! >> reporter: north charleston is now feeling the fallout. >> this has been a reality that has been in north charleston police department for many many years. it just so happens we have a video. >> reporter: demonstrators gathered in front of city hall demanding the mayor resign and more officers be arrested as the investigation into the police shooting death of walter scott intensifies. >> everybody will know the truth. >> reporter: scott's family said they foresaw the video sunday horrified but what had showed but grateful for the truth they say it reveals, especially in light of other deaths of african-americans at the hands of police. >> i would like cops to be accountable and let them know that if they try this again, somebody may be watching. so maybe think twice before they fire their weapons. >> reporter: the family continues to ask the public for calm and in a gesture of sympathy

let's go now to cnn's martin savidge live at cnn headquarters in atlanta.prison time are we talking here? >> reporter: serious. you know that old adage that they say cheaters never prosper? in this particular case these convicted cheaters now could face decades, decades behind bars. each one of the 11 that were found guilty had one charge of racketeering against them. that charge alone, the maximum they could get could be possibly 20 years. then on top of that many of them also had additional charges, the maximum time on that if you add up is anywhere from five to ten years per offense. so you are talking decades potentially behind bars. then what stunned the attorneys of these defendants was when the judge immediately said all right, let's start rounding all these people up and getting them behind bars. remember, they haven't had sentencing yet. so the attorneys were absolutely dumbfounded. they couldn't believe it. they tried to argue that none of their people had criminal records, they shouldn't be going to prison but the judge said well what do you thin

martin savidge, thank you. joining us now, attorney former south carolina state representative bicari sellers and mark geragos and harry houck. mark let me start with you. you're a defense attorney. from the defense standpoint in this case the defense of this police officer, does what happened in that vehicle with the stop does any of that matter or is all that really matters, frankly for both sides, prosecution and defense, what happened from the time the taser was fired to the time that mr. scott was shot and killed? >> well all that really should matter is what happened between the time that the taser was fired and when he was executed, but i would imagine that his lawyer will attempt to say that between the time that there was the video running on the stop on the dash cam video and the time that the person who was a precipient witness, they do something to create a false scenario and create a diversion, so to speak, in order to try to divert the jury's attention from what really happened here which was basi

let's get more from cnn's martin savidge. >> the atlanta public schools cheating scandal has been hanginge city of atlanta for years. and now it is finally coming to a conclusion. in april, there were ten people that were found guilty of conspiracy but it's referred to as racketeering. i's a very serious charge that was essentially cheating. racketeering is a crime that you hear talked be about when it comes to mobsters or drug dealers. but these educators had conspired to change the scores to make the students look like they were performing better than they really were when in fact they weren't doing well. but it made the teachers look better and that brought raises for them. so anyway it comes down to the sentences to be read. and the judge was saying look i'm going to give you one more chance before i announce the sentence to let you accept a plea deal. and there were two people who decided they would take that final offer. they did get lesser sentences. in fact one got six months in prison. but only has to serve on the weeks. another got a year's worth of house arrest but really they
