NORTH CHARLESTON, South Carolina — Many protesters here have asked one question after video surfaced of a police officer killing Walter Scott: They want to know why, before the footage, media reports seemed to run only with the narrative from the local police department

"I feel like this video pointed out that the images we create in the media are false," Shanalea Forrest, an activist with the local Black Lives Matter group in North Charleston, told Mashable. "I think that the media can sort of paint any picture that they want to. That sways the public and the image the public has."
