Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I whakamataku ahau i te ataata o te Kaitiaki Michael Slager e pupuhi ana i te waru o nga pupuhi ki a Walter Scott i a ia e rere ana i tana tutaki ki te pirihimana o North Charleston - ko tona tuara ki te kaitiaki. Ko te mea nui ake i kitea e au ko te āhua o te pirihimana e here ana i a Scott kua hinga, ā, ka tuku ia kia mate, e anga ana ki raro i te paru, i te wā e kitea ana a Slager e whakatakoto ana i tētahi mea ki te taha o tōna tinana. E mārama ana ahau ki te take e pōhēhē ana te iwi ki ngā kerēme o te tiaki whaiaro - otirā mai i te whakahaerenga ture. Mehemea ehara i te mea nā te ataata i tangohia e tētahi kaitirotiro, kāore au e āhei ki te whakaaro ka kati tēnei kōrero i muri i te taiepa o tētahi tirotirohanga. I te mea he roia mo te whakahe, he nui ake taku aro atu i te katoa ki te whakaaro o te kore hara mo te hunga e whakawakia ana ki te hara, engari ko tenei waahanga kotahi o te taunakitanga - he ataata o te tangata i werohia i muri i te wa e tino hoki ana - e whakahe ana ki tetahi whakamarama whaitake. E whakawhetai ana ki te Atua he kāmera. Ka āwhina tēnei ki te whakarite kia tika te whakawa i tēnei take. Heoi anō, kei reira tētahi atu kāmera - mēnā i whakamahia - tērā pea i ārai i te aitua katoa: he kāmera tinana pirihimana. I te wā katoa o te tutaki ki a Scott, e mārama ana kāore a Slager i te mōhio kei te whakaatahia ia e tētahi. Mēnā i mōhio ia ka tuhia e tētahi ataata ia nekehanga, me kī atu ia i tana patu ki tētahi tangata e rere ana? Ka pupuhi ia? E waru ngā wā? I whakapohehe rānei ia i te tukinga i runga i tana pūrongo pirihimana? E kore rawa. Mēnā i mau i a Slager tētahi kāmera tinana, tērā pea kei te ora tonu a Scott, ā, kāore a Slager i te tū atu ki te tūponotanga o te oranga i roto i te whare herehere, i te whiu mate rānei. He nui te utu o te whakanoho i ngā kāmera tinana, e tika ana. Ko te rokiroki i te nui o ngā raraunga e hangaia ana e ngā kāmera tinana he nui ake te utu. Heoi anō, mēnā e kōrero ana mātou mō te moni, tērā pea ka pōhēhētia e ngā whiu mō ngā tūkino i tukuna ki te whānau o Scott i roto i tētahi kerēme ā-iwi e kore e taea te karo i te Tari Pirihimana o Te Tai Tokerau o Charleston. Ko te mea nui rawa, me ui tatou ki a tatou ano: He aha te uara o te oranga tangata? He mea tino nui te utu mo te rokiroki raraunga nui. A, ko te...
Mark O'Mara: I hopukina e te ataata a Michael Slager e pupuhi ana i a Walter Scott; mena i mau te pirihimana ki te kaamera tinana, kaore pea ia i pupuhi. E mea ana a O'Mara he utu nui aua kāmera, engari he iti ake i te utu mo te mate hē - me te utu mo te oranga tangata. Ko te raru nui ko te whakahāwea ā-iwi i roto i te mahi pirihimana; kia whakatauhia ra ano, he otinga takawaenga pai ngā kāmera tinana.
