fear, there was a threat, we understand, to match up with the video, much like in the case of walter scott had the video recording, we would have had to take the word of michael schrager that walter scott had grabbed his taser and about to shoot him with it. but for the video in the came of sam die dubois, we would have had to take the word that he was being run over by sam dubois and that's why he fired his weapon. we're going to have to take the word of these officers that somehow mr. scott made afurtive movement, which we don't see. he didn't something threatening, which we don't see. we don't see him raising his hands and it's going to be based on their statements and their statements alone. great deference is given to what police officers say. >> that much i agree on. great deference is given to what police officers say, yes. the supreme court says we must do that. >> all right, we'll continue to conversation. thank you so much, we'll be right back. with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, whe

if you look at charleston with walter scott, there was a gun, just wasn't walter scott's. sometimes police officers place things on the scene afterwards. i should not say that police planted evidence, but it it is plausible. this man was backing out of a car and decided to pick up a weapon to get in a shootout and use his off hand, his weak hand strikes me as curious. in the video they absolutely say drop the weapon. but i've been in a lot of scenes where i see excessive force use. and police will say stop resisting us and they continue tahit him. yelling those commands out sometimes is a way of making of creating a nar ittinarrative fo yourself. we asked him to drop the weapon and he wouldn't. finally, yeah, it's on the tape, but, also on the tape is her saying he doesn't have a weapon. if we go by audible observations, we could just as easily say he didn't have a weapon. >> joe, do you -- right and the video is clearly inconclusive and unsatisfying on that level. do you understand, joe, why the public is skeptical even though the police have said, oh, we found a gun at t

walter scott was stopped for a traffic violation. a policecounter with officer, apparently, he hadn't paid support payments. he thought that was what it was going to be all about. he runs away, and the officer shoots him in the back. i thought, how could any sane person do that if they are wearing a body camera that would've captured all of their actions? the police officer shoots the individual, and then the trial is going to go forward here, but it appears a lot of people planted evidence. think ultimately the body cameras will protect the police more than the citizens? ray: i do. the police -- i say this based on my 45 years in policing -- do such great things, such beneficial things for society everyday that certainly it will untowardutnumber any events. i think it will also restrain officers from acting in an inappropriate way. people video police all the time now, and they will take that video and put it on youtube, and you will see maybe half of the entire event or two thirds. with police wearing cameras, there's the potential

walter scott was shot and killed last year.olice officer gave a statement that was totally contrary to what we saw on video that is one of the reasons that the don't trust the police officers to give statement. the statement the police chief gave in conference today i was baflted by why did this man say we are not going to be totally transparent. we will be transparent but not totally transparent. bret, that's the problem that the african-american community and so many other poor communities have with police officers because there may be a lack of transparency. and when you have video, several video angles. chest cams, dash cams. those are things that can easily be released within hours and. >> you understand their point. they don't want to inflame things on the street. if the video is inconclusive and the investigation is continuing, they think by releasing the video, perhaps they get more of a violent responsed in the short-term on the streets of charlotte. >> look if he response right now. >> in chicago shooting, the police

walter scott was stopped for a terrific violation, he has an account with the police officer. apparently he hadn't paid support payments. he thought that's what it was going to be all about. so he runs away and the officer shoots him and shoots him in the back. i thought how could any, you know, sain person do that if they are wearing a body camera that would have captured all of their-- all of the action. so the police officer shoots the individual and then there is a trial going to go forward here. but it certainly appears that a lot of people that planted evidence on. >> do you think ultimately the body cameras will protect the police more than the citizenship? >> i do. because the police and i say this based on my 45 years in policing, do such great things, such beneficial things for society every day. that certainly it will greatly outnumber any untoward event. but i think it would also restrain officers from acting in an inappropriate way. you know what happens is people video police all the time now. and they will take that video and put it on youtube and you will see m

april 2015, walter scott was shot in the back. a nonpolice related incident, did a manual search. is filled my state with american history. not all of it has been good for folks of color. but the beauty of the south, south carolina and america is the whole beginning of the civil war -- charlie: charleston. tim: it was with the beating of a congressman and senator. so through the prism of south carolina, you take bishop nine, the massacre, and then you fast-forward to a place where the first senator from the south of african descent comes out of south carolina. charlie: you said i have felt pressure applied by the scales of justice when they are slammed . i have felt frustration and humiliation that comes from feeling you are being targeted but nothing more than just being yourself. tim: absolutely. i think that quote is the best way to say what i felt and what i feel. the truth is that our nation needs to evolve. a painful part of our history, a painful part of our present is that strained relationship with the communities of colo

the video, and we saw once before in charleston, south carolina, where the police officers said walter scott had a gun and when we saw the video taken by a bystander, there was not a gun he had and he was running away. that's crucial. i don't think what the officers are say really accounts to much of anything right now. >> if you are looking at it from the community stand skpoeupbt they are asking for the tapes, what is your personal takeaway, did it have an emotional and substantial impact, and do you think this will calm the situation down or add more emotion to it? >> i think that -- i don't think the release of mrs. scott's video will quell the cause for the release of the dashcam of this particular incident. i am not sure whether or not it escalates things. there are lots of the cases in recent memory that shape how we are responding to the videos and particular incident, and in chicago the delay in the release of the mcdonald tape really showed the chicago police department may have been trying to hide something. the public is looking at something and not understanding why there is not

when you look at walter scott, shot six times.he police lied, and you comp right -- come right back, eric gardenerrer choked and the police lied. >> you think that's common practice. >> we see a -- >> we see a lot of cops getting shot. >> but they shouldn't get shot but it's -- we need to review the turner commission report on the 80 nation and suppression it's running it toll on people. >> you see what i'm saying -- >> not -- >> you're upset when people are shot in these instances but you aren't when it happens to a cop. >> that's not true. as a matter of fact -- >> have you been to rallies when this happened to cops. >> unless you ban assault weapons -- >> note what if asked. the same rage when it involves a cop, white or black. >> immediately, we respond when that took place and also know that the -- the killing in baton rouge and dallas with "black lives matter" and the fact is these were military people trained who saw an injustice and they felt their resolution was what they've been trained, which is to shoot. but -- but ana

we saw in the case of walter scott, accused of grabbing a taser. that is why michael slager pumped eight rounds. we heard ray tinsey say he was run over by a car. we know police will craft a story to fit the scenario. the fact he had a holster is not alarming. if you have a gun, you want a holster. the fact he had a gun in an open carry state in and of itself, okay. you don't get to kill a felon because he has a gun. >> again, just the other side of it, could be, i could see a scenario where the officers are concerned and the police chief is concerned that the video doesn't speak to what other evidence he says he has. what did he say? there's your truth and my truth and the truth. >> isn't that interesting? i'm hearing a lot of code speak and word smithing. they are saying the individual who is deceased did something that obviously was threatening. what was it? articulate it? police officers are told to articulate those threats. >> they have to show it exists beyond the video. >> absolutely. >> the mistrust with the community and police officers. a

walter scott but dropped a gun. saw it on the videotape from a citizen. are we in a situation where the laws are not adequate who can in fact commit murder? >> we need more protections for citizens. right now doj, they are often hands are tied in so many investigations because the civil rights law only covers when an officer engaged intentional acts of depriving people of civil rights. we need a new civil rights law that covers what is happening in america. police officers are acting recklessly. they are acting unreasonably. they are acting outside of all guidance, all training, they are acting outside of what other officers are doing because the flip of what bree talked about, there are officers that don't kill people and this is a situation in charlotte where that man was minding his business. they were serving a warrant on someone that had nothing to do with him and they rode up and killed that man dead. this is a situation we need to understand that officers don't always have to shoot and kill. what it comes to

this reminds us of the shooting of walter scott where the video camera was from behind, a man being shotthe back, or laquan mcdonald being shot in the back. here we have an angle, if you will, from overhead. but the point being, irrespective of the angle, we have a man who appears to have his hands in the air, in a routine police encounter who loses his life. that is very, very troubling. and the community has every right to be on edge, particularly when we consider the fact that a young black man is 21 times more likely to lose his life at the hands of the police than white counterparts. in other words, there's a concern about police/civilian interactions. >>> we have more to discuss, including the political reaction we're getting from the presidential candidates. we'll take a quick break. much more with cornell right after this. if you're searching other travel sites to find a better price... ...stop clicking around... the lowest prices on our hotels are always at hilton.com. so pay less and get more only at hilton.com. i know more about isis then the apprgenerals do. age. john mccain,

did i support the shooting of walter scott in charleston, south carolina? no. did i support eric gardner? no. we can't tie that to every case without knowing the circumstances first. >> i don't think everyone wants to tie it to every case. communities want safety and justice and transparency from law enforcement. when something happens, communities want accountability. when accountability doesn't happen, what it does is sends a message that it's okay. it's okay to kill certain people if they are black, if they are brown, if they are poor. until we have accountability, until we have full transparency, you are going to see law enforcement having a higher bar to meet and telling the community of what happened. >> i can't thank you both enough for bringing your all and energy to this very important topic. i think there is an overlap and you agree on many parts of this. i appreciate your time. thank you so much. >>> next we'll turn to presidential politics and change of heart for senator ted cruz. >> it's not easy to tick me off. i don't get angry often, but you mes

we saw in south carolina, april 2015, walter scott fleeing from an officer being shot in the back. we set up, of course, the non-police-related incident at emanuel church. my state is filled with american history and not all of it has been good for folks of color, but the beauty of south carolina and of america is that it's home of the beginning of the civil war. >> rose: charleston. they elected me to be their congressman and then their senator . so the evolution of the american spirit can best be seen from my perspective from being a pinner in south carolina, the orange massacre to fast forward to a place where the first senator from the south of african descent comes out of south carolina. >> rose: you said i have felt the pressure of scales of justice when they're slanted, felt the agoer, frustration, sadness that comes from feeling that you're being targeted for nothing more than just being yourself. >> absolutely. i think that quote is the best way to say what i felt and what i feel because the truth is our nation continues to evolve. a painful part of our history, a painful

it was something that i couldn't see another hashtag #sandra bland or hashtag #tamir rice, or walter scott and eric gardner. at what point do we do something about it and take a stand and as a people say this isn't right? >> after threatening to boycott 49ers games over kaepernick's anthem protest, and his wearing socks showing officers as pigs, santa clara police showed up in full force, to protect players and fans at levi stadium. >>> it is 6:03 right now. a check of the roads with rocky, how is it looking out there? >> thank you, michelle. let's start in the south bay. would he have some upstates for you. there -- we have some updates for you there. starting in sunnyvale. westbound 237, before lawrence expressway. this is a solo car crash. that is now moved on to the shoulder. but we have chp and emergency crews out there still blocking some lanes. and the cars are slowing up, at about 36 miles an hour. and traffic is backed up all the way to 680 there. so we will keep you updated as to when that is cleared. but for the rest of the south bay, 101, from the 280, to 680 split, to highway

there has to be sadness when we lose tamir rice and walter scott and eric garner and michael brown andncidents that have just occurred. there are policing practices that can be implemented. deescalation, community oriented policing, better training, fu funding for training, accreditation. we cannot trust donald trump. i can trust hillary clinton. hillary clinton's private moments are personal moments with the mothers of the movement. they're not just private, they're personal. her passion for a solution, her listing of the names is real. her understanding of the pain, the broad-based african-american community. so we know that as president, she will reach out and she will be a problem-solver. she will listen to voices of those who have solutions and bring together law enforcement just as the obama's committee, the police committee, that report needs to be implemented. it was a brilliant report. of chiefs and others who have lived law enforcement over their life so what i would say is you can't listen to someone who mixes stop and frisk with a solution for what happened in charlotte. he

aches because it's not just charlotte, it's terranence crutch crutcher, it's tamir rice, it's walter scott, and for many us of this isn't an isolated incident in charlotte. we're tired of seeing black bodies this the street. >> stacey, respond to that. as an african-american who is conservative, how do any of the remarks that you hear from donald trump and more, how does that help reaching out to the black community, disdooes it? >> i don't think anything he said was false. i'm not sure about the drug involvement in the protest. i don't think the protestors are on drugs. what we're talking about say conversation that he started when he went to that black church in detroit. he's been opening up the dialogue with himself, his campaign and the black community which has traditionally supported democrats more than republicans for decades now. he's saying give something else a chance. the democrats have controlled america for 50, 60 years, and he's asking for an opportunity for republican policies in the republican party platform to apply to the black community which some is heavily concentrated

they saw -- they saw walter scott and they knew of charlotte and just war on the streets and there isse streets. and at some point people say, black lives matter. >> it was interesting to hear the reverend there turn that blm phrase into a question which some have said critically that it always needed to be that rather than being hashtaged. it is time to have a real conversation. we'll move on now. >>> the fox news political insiders getting miked up at home base. they are ready to go. let's do some politics, gentlemen. stay close. don't let dust and allergens get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase gives you more complete allergy relief. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls 6. and six is greater than one. flonase changes everything. ♪ put smeta appetite control. you and temptation with clinically proven to help reduce hunger between meals. new, from metamucil, the #1 doctor recommended brand.

understand that police off certains do sometimes misrepresent what happened as in the case of walter scott when he was shot who said he took my taser. and when sam deboss was shot and killed, the officer said he was try to run me over with a car. i believe once we see this video, we're going to see it doesn't substantiate or justify the shooting. >> it will be important to see the video. they're reluctant obviously to release the video. the police chief says it will not provide definitive visual evidence, matthew. but you believe they should release the video even if it doesn't provide definitive, in his words, visual evidence. >> why wouldn't you release the video at the appropriate time? although he said it didn't have definitive evidence, he did say that the individual did not have a book and the individual did have a gun. so we know both of those facts. there's a lot of investigating that still needs to be done and i think we have to allow the investigative train to work itself out so we don't compromise the investigation and at some point they have to release the information, even if

you go to north charleston, you officer bamberg and they claimed that walter scott was a threat only to find out because of sillian video that all of that was a lie and charges apply there. >> because there happened to be a bystander. >> just happened to be there. >> joy reid, thank you very much for being here. i really appreciate it. i know it's been a long day for you already. we've got much more to come tonight including a report from live on the ground in charlotte next. we've got brand-new and exclusive polling data and actual voting data, the first voting data in in the presidential election. we've got that here exclusively tonight. the results will surprise you. stay with us.

himself, not only does this have nothing to do with the military, i'm standing for people like walter scott killed by police who was a veteran. and so we need to do right by people who are coming back and facing insdwrus 'tis in the streets of this country. so despite the relentless effort to did he say tort what he's trying to say, it's impressive how consistent he has been with this message. >> there was a time in this country when he saw a fair amount of this, athletes choosing to stand for something. there was, of course, the high-profile athletes in the '60s, this iconic photo of john carlos and tommy smith back in '68, raising those fists famously to protest racism. there has not been a great deal of activism with regard to athletes. and now it seems as if, whether it's colin kaepernick, we heard from carmelo anthony about a month ago. it seems as if this is something that more athletes are starting to do. why is that? why do we think that's the case? >> absolutely. the last couple years there has been a serious uptick in athletes using their hyper exalted to speak for the world. one,
