[Ryan Young, Cnn Correspondent:] The semi trailer knocked over by the powerful winds here. This has been the focus for a lot of people. That building right there used to be a restaurant and actually people were inside when the powerful tornado came this direction, some folks were trapped, they were rescued. Police have asked us to stand back this far, because there are power lines that are down throughout this entire area. In fact if we didn't have our light on, you could see nothing for miles. Because the way the lights are not on in this area. Someone had to be saved out of that building, everyone is okay from the structure. You can see the damage left behind. And, of course, when first light comes up. I'm sure there will be more assessments of the damage Michaela.
[Michaela Pereira, Cnn Anchor:] Ryan, incredible to think that nobody was hurt when you look at the devastation that's left behind. We'll be tuning in back in with you shortly. We turn to California now. Law enforcement embroiled in another controversy in San Bernardino, California. Video appearing to show man with his hands behind his back being pummeled by deputies, following a bizarre horseback pursuit. The man fell from the horse after being stunned with a laser. We're told the attack went on for two minutes, involving 11 deputies, the incident allegedly stemmed from an identity theft investigation. An internal probe has been launched.
[Chris Cuomo, Cnn Anchor:] Iran is demanding Saudi Arabia stop its air strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Now, Iran has been suspected of fueling this rebellion. And the ayatollah now calling the strikes against the Houthis criminal genocide. Despite that, there was another round of airstrikes just this morning, the U.N. Security Council could vote as early as today on a resolution to blacklist a Houthi leader and the son of the Yemen's former president, who is fighting alongside them.
[Alisyn Camerota, Cnn Anchor:] Here's a scary story: Oscar winner Sandra Bullock's desperate cry for help. It was played out in court. She made a panicked call to police last June after coming face to face with an alleged stalker inside her home.
[Sandra Bullock, Actress:] I'm locked in my closet, I have a safe door in my bedroom and I locked it and I'm locked in the closet right now.
[Camerota:] During Tuesday's hearing, Joshua Corbett was ordered to stand trial on stalking, burglary and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty. Bullock and her son, Lewis, who was not in the home at the time, were not harmed.
[Cuomo:] All right. Of all the disturbing aspects of what happened in South Carolina, what we see in the video now, the one stand-out is when the moment that Officer Slager is seen dropping something near Scott's body, something that looks like a Taser. And it leads to the obvious question of whether or not the officer was trying to set up the situation, for explanation afterwards. Let's bring in Miller Shealy, a professor at the Charleston School of Law. He's also a former assistant United States attorney for the Department of Justice. Professor, thank you very much for joining us this morning. Let's go through the big points of what we see from the video that the young man took and the dash cam video. The stop itself anything unusual about it, other than when Walter Scott flees?
[Miller W. Shealy, Professor, Charleston School Of Law:] No. Actually that looks like a petty standard traffic stop. And I saw nothing unusual about it. In fact, as you watch the film of the dash cam on the police car, you don't see anything really unusual until suddenly, Mr. Scott seems to bolt from the car for some reason.
[Cuomo:] Now, he bolts, the warrant was for child support. But still, judging that situation, was the officer right to pursue?
[Shealy:] I think under those circumstances, when you have a car stopped, lawfully stopped, I think the officers can pursue, it's very odd during a traffic stop like this, when there's certainly no evidence the officer thought anything else was happening other than routine traffic stop for the driver especially with a passenger in the car, to suddenly exit the car and run away for apparently no reason.
[Cuomo:] Right. So, now, he catches
[Shealy:] That's a good reason to at least
[Cuomo:] He catches up to him at some point and there's an altercation. Now, there's a very important fact that's being neglected that we still don't really understand. The officer says he grabbed for my Taser. I was afraid I had to shoot a shot. Now, that would mean that he was afraid of the Taser. He had a reasonable fear. That would mean that it had to happen that the Taser was grabbed before he used it on Mr. Scott. Isn't that true?
[Shealy:] Yes. Unfortunately, we don't have that on film. Squarely, that seems to occur. But obviously at the time that Mr. Scott exits the vehicle and flees, and before the shooting, and I understand that the individual that took this terrible video, has said, has indicated to law enforcement and others, that there was a fight, there was a scuffle.
[Cuomo:] Yes.
[Shealy:] So, you know, it often happens, we don't know whether they were fighting over his gun, his Taser or just fighting and the officer was trying to subdue him. We really don't know that.
[Cuomo:] He is saying on the tape, Taser, Taser. When an officer is saying Taser, Taser, is that an indication that he's using the Taser? Is that something you would say in the line of using one?
[Shealy:] You might, yes. But, you know, that's something we don't really know in terms of exactly what was going on.
[Cuomo:] Right.
[Shealy:] Was the officer trying to Tase him? Or was he shouting out, trying to get other officers to come and help because he was losing control of the Taser or thought he might.
[Cuomo:] Because one thing is for sure
[Shealy:] We just don't know that.
[Cuomo:] One thing is for sure, once he used the Taser, once Officer Slager used the Taser on Walter Scott, it would not be reasonable for him to fear the Taser being used on him anymore, because it had already been discharged and that's why the timing is important. That takes us to what happened after the shooting. The shooting is horrible. It needs no expert analysis. However, if he does drop that Taser, near the body, afterwards, can it be anything else than an attempt to set up the situation to his own advantage?
[Shealy:] It's really hard to explain it in a way that's good for the officer, I'll put it like that. It's tampering with the scene of the crime. It's hard to imagine why an officer would do something like that. It's hard to imagine a good reason.
[Cuomo:] Do you believe the other officers should be coming under scrutiny? The first one who runs in apparently, an African-American officer runs in first, puts on gloves, he doesn't do CPR. Did he see the shooting? Did he see what was dropped there? The other officers who come subsequently, whose reports don't line up with what they may have said afterwards, should all of that still be investigated thoroughly, even though the obvious is what Slager did?
[Shealy:] I think so and I think it will be. I think a lot of people, state and local are going to be looking excuse me, state and federal are going to be looking into this and asking what happened and who saw what and why they reported things the way that they did. So, I don't see any evidence that other officers committed a crime thus far. But certainly there's a question perhaps, about why certain things were reported the way they were, or not reported in the manner that occurred.
[Cuomo:] Absolutely. Professor, that raises the question of who should be doing these investigations in the first place. That's a conversation for another day. Appreciate very much, Miller Shealy, being with us this morning. Alisyn?
[Camerota:] Well, the game of will she, won't she, Chris, may soon be over. Hillary Clinton may finally make her 2016 presidential run official. But when and how she plans to announce is unusual. We'll examine it.
