'Show us the video,' demands family of Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., who was killed by police at Alabama mall

"Thanksgiving will never be the same for me. It will never be the same," the man's mother told NBC News. "That’s the day I lost my son. My first born."

The family of a 21-year-old black man shot and killed by an officer and misidentified by police as a gunman in an Alabama mall shooting called for authorities to release any videos relevant to the incident.

Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr. was killed by an officer in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover during a Black Friday sale at the Riverchase Galleria mall on Thursday night.

Bradford’s family and their attorney, the high-profile civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, told NBC News on Sunday that authorities should release any relevant surveillance videos from the mall or officer body-cam footage that would shed light on what happened prior to Bradford's death.

"Show us the video. The video will tell the story," Crump told NBC News.

3. Not until the police create some footage of him with some weed.

They've got to do that first. How else are they going to protect the officer involved?

4. Dave Chappelle said it 15 years ago

"Sprinkle some crack on him, and let's get out of here," was the line, if I recall correctly, that cops would say in those Chappelle skits after cops killed a black man.

K&R for the truth to come out, as some small solace to the family,
