Protesters gather against policy brutality, racism after SC police shooting death

Protesters gathered Wednesday morning in Charleston, South Carolina after a video of a police shooting was released last night.

The video, captured by a bystander on Saturday, shows a police officer firing eight times at a man who is running away from him. Walter Scott, 50, stumbles and falls as he is struck and ultimately died. The police officer, 33-year-old Michael Slager, has been charged with murder.

Two guests joined MPR News' Kerri Miller to give us the latest on the developing story.
