CHARLOTTE, N.C. | Video of a
deadly encounter between Charlotte police and a black man shows his wife repeatedly telling officers he is not armed and pleading with them not to shoot her husband as they shout at him to drop a gun. The video, recorded by Keith Lamont Scott’s wife and released Friday by his family, does not indicate whether Scott had a gun. Police have said he was armed, but witnesses say he held only a book. The 2 ½-minute video does not show the shooting, though gunshots can be heard.

These are the police officers that shot my husband.” Rakeyia Scott Wife of Keith Lamont Scott
Scott’s wife, Rakeyia Scott, tells officers that he has a TBI, or
traumatic brain injury. At one point, she tells her husband to get out of the car so police don’t break the windows. She also tells him, “don’t do it,” but it’s not clear exactly what she means. As the encounter escalates, she repeatedly urges police, “You better not shoot him.” After the gunshots, Scott can be seen lying face-down on the ground while his wife says “he better live.” She continues recording and asks if an ambulance has been called. The officers stand over Scott. It’s unclear if they are checking him for weapons or attempting to give first aid. In the footage, Scott’s wife states the address and says, “These are the police officers that shot my husband.” The video emerged after a third night of protests over the shooting gave way to quiet streets Friday. The largely peaceful demonstrations in the city’s business district
were watched over by rifle-toting members of the National Guard. Protesters called on police to release video that could resolve wildly different accounts of the shooting earlier this week. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said Friday that there is footage from at least one police body camera and one dashboard camera. The family of Scott, 43, was shown the footage Thursday and demanded that police release it to the public. The video recorded by Scott’s wife had not been previously released. Demonstrators chanted “release the tape” and “we want the tape” Thursday while briefly blocking an intersection and later climbing the steps to the door of the city government center. Later, several dozen demonstrators walked onto an interstate highway through the city, but they were pushed back by police in riot gear.

idential candidate Donald Trump is arguing that he'll do more to help women from the White House than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. At the same time, he's taunting her over the infidelities of her husband. As Trump campaigned in the battleground state of Virginia, Clinton stayed close to home in New York while preparing for Monday night's opening debate. She was spotted at a Westchester hotel near her home in Chappaqua, but her campaign would not comment on whether she was holding practice sessions at the hotel.
Clinton and Trump were expected to meet separately on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has sought to project neutrality in this year's election. There were perceptions that he favored Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama in 2012. Trump told supporters at a rally Saturday in Roanoke, Virginia, that Clinton has not delivered for women and children. "My opponent likes to say that for decades she's been fighting for women, that she's been fighting for children. Why, then, are 70 million American women and children
living in poverty or on the brink of poverty in our country?" Trump asked. "For years she's been doing this and she's done nothing."
Watch the debate The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will take place tonight at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. When: 8 to 9:30 p.m. today Channels: C-Span, ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC. Twitter, Facebook and Youtube will stream the debate live.
