Columbus police released more bodycam video Wednesday of the fatal shooting of Black teen Ma'Khia Bryant the day before. Protesters took to the streets of the Ohio capital for the second straight day and night.
Donavon Brinson, who captured footage of the fatal shooting of an Ohio teen by a police officer, says the officer 'reacted with what he thought was his best judgment.'
Demonstrators gathered in the afternoon and didn't thin out until late Wednesday night, reports CBS Columbus affiliate WBNS-TV. Hundreds marched past or stopped at the Statehouse, the Ohio Supreme Court and police headquarters among other spots, the station said.
Bryant, 16, was shot by officer Nicholas Reardon, officials said Wednesday.
Police initially released some body camera footage of the shooting Tuesday night. They made the additional footage public along with two 911 calls in a press conference on Wednesday, citing "the public's need, desire and expectation to have transparency."
Interim police chief Michael Woods said Wednesday that dispatchers first received a call for help at 4:32 p.m. On the call, a woman told officers that people were trying to fight and stab her and others, according to an audio recording played during the press conference. A second 911 caller also asked police to respond to the scene, but the call ended quickly after the person realized police had just arrived.
