Marc Lamont Hill Blames Police for False Witness Stories in Keith Scott Shooting

‘If police want to de-escalate the media ... what they need to do is be more forthcoming with information’

HILL: "This is not against the backdrop of a state where nothing has happened. Just a year before, Walter Scott shot in the back running away from police and gun was planted on him. So, there is a history in the state and really around this nation of law enforcement misconduct where in a moment, where I think, reasonable suspicion of police officers have heightened. And in the midst of all that, police say we're not going to tell you anything. If police want to de-escalate the media, what they need to do is be more forthcoming with information."
