Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department
Reviewing the videos, neither police dashcam or body-camera footage, shows the slain man pointing a gun at police officers.
What the video does not show is the exact moment Scott is shot on Tuesday by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers, but you can hear four shots fired in the background.
Charlotte police claim Scott was armed, but his family says he was perched in his car, reading a book while he waited for his son after school.
Overnight, protesters blocked off several streets and a portion of I-85 near the scene of the crime, rallying for justice.
Authorities rushed the man to Carolinas Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
“One of the first things I did was to get down to his level, take a deep breath and not say anything for a couple minutes,” Officer Purdy said in an interview with WSOC.
