Congresswoman Alma Adams' Statement on the Release of Video Footage of Shooting Death of Keith Lamont Scott

After meeting with activists, community leaders, CMPD, and the National Guard at today's peaceful rally, Congresswoman Alma Adams released the following statement regarding the local law enforcement's decision to make public the footage from the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott:

"I continue to believe that we need greater transparency, accountability, collaboration and cooperation. As I expressed earlier in my letter to Chief Putney, law enforcement should release the official video. I am relieved to learn they will this afternoon. We all deserve the truth, justice and a way forward so that we can heal and become an example of a city that emerges stronger and safer because we chose to address our problems-even after all the television cameras have gone," said Congresswoman Alma Adams.
