The Charlotte police chief talked about probable cause and releasing the video of the Keith Lamont Scott shooting.

“It’s a matter of when and a matter of sequence,” Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney said. “I wish just based on video evidence it could give us probable cause, but it doesn’t work that way.”

Putney said earlier that when you’re gathering eyewitness accounts as evidence, and someone has seen something on the internet, it can cloud memory.
