Updated: CMPD released the video to the media at 6:30 p.m.
In a 30 minute press conference, Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney reiterated what he’s said consistently: The videos do not show that Keith Lamont Scott had a gun or that it was pointed it at police officers.
Putney did say, however, that the reason officers approached Scott was because they noticed that he was in possession of marijuana, and he had a gun.

“Possessing marijuana and having a gun is public safety issue that the officer was going to address,” Putney said. “Officers are absolutely not being charged by me at this point. From what we see, he absolutely was in possession of a gun.”
Along with releasing the video, Putney said they will also be releasing photos, physical evidence and DNA evidence that counters that Scott was in possession of a book.

24. I am going to be clear... Community, we need to protect our fearless. This is Taheshia Williams, she is the brave woman who has given the world her eye witness account of the killing of #KeithLamontScott. Her statements directly contradict those of the CMPD, so we know what that means. We have to look out for her and her family.They must be protected. I've obtained her permission.She isn't asking for help, but we must provide for her!
