This week marks a year since a Selma Police Department officer shot and killed a 74-year-old man wielding a hatchet, and the public’s lack of access to police video of the shooting sparked a protest march Wednesday.

On Dec. 4, 2013, Selma Police received an afternoon call about a disturbance at Church’s Chicken on Broad Street. When officers arrived, they found Ananias Shaw in an abandoned building at the intersection of Washington Street and Griffin Avenue, according to Selma Police Chief William Riley.

As officers approached Shaw, he produced a hatchet and tried to rush one of the officers, according to Riley’s account of the event. The officer, who has not been publically identified, shot and killed Shaw. The incident was recorded on the officer’s lapel camera.

The case was turned over to the Alabama Bureau of Investigation shortly after the incident and later reviewed by a Dallas County Grand Jury, which found the officer acted correctly.

As part of their review, the grand jury was shown the video but the Selma Police Department has not made the tape available to the public.

Riley said Wednesday that the department is not sharing the video with the public because “there still may be future litigation involved.”

“We still want to wait and see if there are any other legal issues that may come out,” Riley said.

That answer doesn’t satisfy the dozen or so protestors that walked from the Edmund Pettus Bridge to the Selma Police Department and Dallas County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon.

They also rallied about the death of Missouri teen Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in August. Led by Selma activist Rose Sanders, the march is the first one of many, potentially.

Sanders said the group will continue to protest every Wednesday at noon until the video of the shooting involving Shaw is released to the public.

“All we’re asking [for] is the tape,” Sanders said. “If the cop was justified in killing Mr. Shaw, all the city has to do is to show the tape.”

The protestors’ first stop was the Selma Police Department, where the group chanted ”show us the tape” and held signs that stated that the Selma shooting itself was unjust.

The protestors are not the only ones who have expressed an interest in seeing the video. Shaw’s family did the same in late August.

Riley said he notified the family’s legal representation a couple of months ago that the family could see the tape if they followed certain protocals.

Russell Ainsworth, a Chicago-based civil rights attorney, said the family has not seen the video. He said the family, which resides in Illinois, was told that two family members could watch the video in Selma at the time and place of the city’s choosing.

District Attorney Michael Jackson expressed his opinion on the topic.

“With there being a tape, I don’t see a problem with transparency,” Jackson said. “Anybody who wants to see the tape, send them the tape. It clearly shows what happen.”
