Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I puta te Reverend Al Sharpton i te Ratapu i North Charleston, ā, e tūmanakohia ana kia haere ki tētahi mahi whakatūpato mō Walter Scott, te taraiwa pango i patua e tētahi pirihimana mā i muri i tana rerenga i tētahi tūnga waka. I kauwhau a Rev. Sharpton i te Charity Missionary Baptist Church me te korero mo te keehi a Scott me te hiahia ki te whakahou i nga ture pirihimana a motu i roto i tana kauwhau. I tae mai ngā rangatira me ngā pirihimana o Te Tai Tokerau o Charleston, ā, i tae mai hoki te Kaunihera o South Carolina a Marlon Kimpson ki te whakarongo ki te kōrero a Sharpton. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I whakahaeretia e te Reverend Al Sharpton he kauhau me te korero mo te ahuatanga o Walter Scott i te ata o te Ratapu. Ko te Koromatua o Te Tai Tokerau o Charleston a Keith Summey (māui), ko te Tumuaki Pirihimana a Eddie Driggers (pokapū) me Sharpton'i kōrero mō te pupuhi a Scott'i te Rātapu i mua i te kōrero a te Reverend i Charity Missionary Baptist Church i South Carolina. I tuhia e Sharpton i runga i Facebook: 'Kei te hono mai ki a matou i tenei ata ko te Mayor Keith Summey, Sheriff Al Cannon, Senator Marlon Kimpson, SCLC Leader Michael Steele, North Charleston Police [Chief] Eddie Driggers, me te Kaiwhakahaere Pirihimana Tuarua a Reggie Burgess.' I whakarongo ngā pirihimana me ngā māngai pōti ki ngā kōrero a Sharpton i a ia e tuku ana i te mana ki te Tumuaki Summey mō te pana i a Michael Slager, te pirihimana i whakamate i a Scott, e ai ki te Post and Courier. I te wā o te kauwhau, ka mea a Sharpton: 'Ki te hē ia... ka whakahe mātou. 'Ki te tika tana, me whai mana ano tatou ki te mea he tika tana. 'Kia whakamahia tēnei haora kia kore ai e whakarerekē i ngā mea e tupu ana ki Te Tai Tokerau o Charleston. 'Ko Te Tai Tokerau o Charleston, e mōhiotia ana he wāhi o te manawanui, tērā pea ko te wāhi e whakatakoto ai i tētahi aronga hōu i roto i ngā mahi pirihimana puta noa i Te Hononga o Amerika. Tērā pea, i tēnei wā, i waenganui i tētahi kaitiaki mā o te tonga me tētahi whaea pango e murua ana, tērā pea ka taea e tēnei iwi te whakatutuki i tēnei". E tūmanakohia ana hoki ka haere te kaiārahi mo ngā tika ā iwi ki tētahi tūhuratanga e tata ana ki te wāhi i patua ai a Scott i te ahiahi o te Rātapu. I whakakahore a Sharpton i te aukati a te whanau a Scott i a ia ki te haere ki tana tangihanga i te Rahoroi na te mea ka puta he 'karaka' o te hunga papaho...
I tūmanakohia kia tae mai a Reverend Sharpton i te Rātapu ki North Charleston. I kauwhau ia i te Ekalesia Papatitī o Charity Missionary i mua i te haere ki te mataaratanga. I kōrero a Scott mō te hiahia ki te whakarerekētanga o ngā mahi pirihimana ā-motu. I tae mai ngā rangatira pōti me ngā pirihimana o Te Tai Tokerau o Charleston. I reira hoki a Senator Marlon Kimpson o South Carolina ki te whakarongo ki a Sharpton.
