Go to the Video: after enormous pressure from the public, civil rights activists, and even presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Charlotte, NC authorities released police videos of the fatal shooting of 43-year-old Keith Scott, a black man they said had a gun in his hand. The police have previously declined to release the videos, saying general viewing might prejudice their investigation.

The police videos come from a body camera and a dashboard camera. The dashboard camera shows Scott getting out of his car possibly with an object in his left hand, but nothing in his right. Scott was right-handed.

They’re With Her: It comes as no surprise that The NY Times has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Their editorial says, “In any normal election year, we’d compare the two presidential candidates side by side on the issues. But this is not a normal election year. A comparison like that would be an empty exercise in a race where one candidate — our choice, Hillary Clinton — has a record of service and a raft of pragmatic ideas, and the other, Donald Trump, discloses nothing concrete about himself or his plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway.”

The surprise came from the Cincinnati Enquirer, which has not endorsed a Democrat for nearly 100 years, but said, “Trump is a clear and present danger to our country.”

Liar, Liar: Journalists are reluctant to call anyone a liar, particularly politicians, preferring instead to present contradictory evidence that what was said was untrue. But starting with coverage of Donald Trump’s reversal on his claim that President Obama was not born in the US, the NY Times has begun to describe Trump as a liar. It’s a big move. In a story about just one week of what the paper describes as Trump’s “whoppers,” the Times reports that, “Donald J. Trump has unleashed a blizzard of falsehoods, exaggerations and outright lies in the general election, peppering his speeches, interviews and Twitter posts with untruths so frequent that they can seem flighty or random — even compulsive.”

Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote in a separate rumination about how to cover “a duplicitous demagogue” that, “We owe it to our audiences to signal that most of us have never met a national candidate as ill-informed, deceptive or evasive as Trump.”

Worker’s Comp: Two former Wells Fargo employees have filed a $2.6 billion lawsuit against the company, claiming compensation for workers who were demoted or fired because they refused to commit fraud to meet their sales quotas.

“Wells Fargo fired or demoted employees who failed to meet unrealistic quotas while at the same time providing promotions to employees who met these quotas by opening fraudulent accounts,” the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles says.

Wells Fargo has admitted firing 5,300 people who broke the rules, but hasn’t said anything about firing employees who wouldn’t.

The Obit Page: Actor Bill Nunn, who made his mark as “Radio Raheem” in the 1989 Spike Lee movie Do the Right Thing, has died at age 63. Nunn’s character carried a giant boom box playing Fight the Power and wore four-finger rings on each hand, one saying “Love” and the other “Hate.” Radio Raheem delivers a monologue about the battle between love and hate in which love wins out.

History Lesson: The National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in Washington, DC, yesterday. It’s the 19^th Smithsonian museum.

President Obama said, “A museum alone will not alleviate poverty in every inner city,” he said. “It won’t eliminate gun violence from all our neighborhoods, or immediately ensure that justice is always colorblind.” He went on, “Hopefully, this museum can help us talk to each other, and more importantly listen to each other, and most importantly see each other.”
