Meet the brave man who now fears for his safety after filming an officer murder Walter Scott

On April 4, Feidin Santana was on the phone, walking to work in North Charleston, South Carolina, when an event that would soon grip the nation happened just a few feet away from his path. Knowing what we know now—that Officer Michael Slager murdered Walter Scott in cold blood and attempted to frame him by planting a stun gun on him—it's increasingly clear that Feidin Santana acted with extreme bravery when he filmed what turned out to be the worst thing he's ever witnessed.
Now, Feidin has real concerns for his own safety:

"I won't deny that I knew the magnitude of this, and I even thought about erasing the video," Santana said in an interview on MSNBC's "All In With Chris Hayes" Wednesday. "I felt that my life, with this information, might be in danger. I thought about erasing the video and just getting out of the community, you know Charleston, and living some place else," the 23-year-old said. "I knew the cop didn't do the right thing."

In an interview with TODAY's Matt Lauer on Thursday, Santana said: "I'm still scared."
"I say life changed in a matter of seconds. I never thought this would happen, that I would be a witness," he told TODAY's Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview Thursday. "I'm still scared."

Before the public ever saw the video, Santana went to the police station to turn it in, but changed his mind and left. After seeing that the police were telling lies in the media about the shooting, he found Scott's family and turned the video over to them, as you can read below the fold. READ MORE
