Jones' mother, Beverly Jones, said family members had seen the tapes. She knew police were releasing the tapes, even though the family didn't want them to.

"But it doesn't matter how the family feels," she said. "The media just wants it, and that's it."

Patricia Harrison, Good's mother, said she had no idea police were releasing the videos Friday. She doesn't think she'll ever watch them.

"I really don't care if the public watches it," she said. "I want the whole world to see that they murdered my son. I really am OK with it, because I don't have any choice."

Danny Jones said at Friday's news conference that they did not want the Good family to attend.

"We were certainly not going to notify Brian Good's family," he said. "We didn't want this to turn into a circus."

Jones said he wanted the news conference to have an atmosphere where reporters could study and learn what happened.

Kanawha County Sheriff Mike Rutherford said the videos were difficult for him, and for all the police involved, to watch.

Police have done everything they can to get information to the public while balancing the needs of their ongoing investigation, he said.

"We're hiding nothing," he said.

Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster said his department had an internal investigation and an inquiry by the department's deadly force review board to do.

He said that every time he watches the videos, he sees something else his officers did right.

"It's as difficult to watch today as it was the first day," he said.

"To me, it was a reign of terror," Danny Jones said. "When Lt. Eric Johnson said [at Jones' funeral] that the officers' actions were flawless, I'm right there with him."

Harold Albertson, Harrison's lawyer, said he was under the impression from conversations with officials on Thursday that police were not going to release the videos until after the sheriff's investigation was completed.

He said he has retained an expert to conduct an independent evaluation of the circumstances.

"We'll take it one step at a time from there," he said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Police cruiser videos from the night Charleston police officers shot and killed suspect Brian Good and fellow officer Jerry Jones show officers firing into Good's truck as he rams it into police cruisers.

They also show the terrible aftermath of the scene, as police approach Good's truck, take cover after a final shot from Jones' gun, and then realize that their fellow officer has been wounded.

One of the videos also appears to show Jones, in shadow, getting out of his car and walking some distance from the passenger side of Good's truck before shots are fired.

Officials from the Kanawha County Sheriff's and Charleston Police departments, as well as Charleston Mayor Danny Jones, held a news conference to discuss and release the tapes Friday.

"It's my personal preference they not get out," the mayor said, "but we know they're going to get out."

Police said they did leave out a small part of the video - the sounds of Jones dying.

The mayor said if anyone wanted to see that part of the video, "That's a fight we might make."

Details from the scene

Jones' cruiser was the one closest to Good's truck during the nearly 20-minute chase in the early hours of Sept. 13. The video from Jones' cruiser shows Good's passenger, Natasha Light, throwing a large box speaker and other objects from the truck's cab.

At the end of the chase, Good turns into a gravel lot on Quick Road and spins around, nearly hitting Jones' cruiser. Jones then pulls his vehicle forward, where the video from his car ends.

The video from the car behind Jones at the end of the chase, driven by Patrolman Owen Morris, shows Good spin around Jones' car and then slam into Morris' cruiser.

Light can be seen raising her head inside the truck, then it disappears again. The flashing lights on Jones' cruiser are seen pulling away from Good's vehicle through Good's rear window.

Good continues revving his truck and pushing forward as a K-9 unit pulls up to Good's truck, to the left of Morris' cruiser.

What appears to be Jones, visible only as a shadowy figure, walks up toward the passenger side of Good's truck. He can be seen through the rear window, then the passenger window and then beyond the hood of the truck, which is stopped at an angle.

One shot is clearly heard first, then a barrage as officers fire at Good, who can barely be seen in the darkened driver's side of his truck. The Charleston Gazette has previously reported that Jones, Morris and Patrolman Christopher Burford were the only officers to fire at the scene. Morris fired from in front of Good's truck; Burford fired from the driver's side; Jones fired from the passenger side.

The videos from Burford's cruiser and West Virginia State Police Trooper Malcolm Napier's vehicle, both of which are positioned behind Morris' cruiser, show the aftermath.

As police approach Good's truck, they can be seen ducking and taking cover. Police have said that was because they heard a final shot from Jones' gun. One officer can be seen getting Light out of Good's vehicle and taking her away from the scene.

Sounds from the videos, as well as from previously released 911 tapes, tell how police discovered Jones and then desperately tried to save his life. After being wounded in the upper chest just above his body armor, Jones stumbled back to his cruiser, accidentally firing a shot into his car. That was the shot the other officers heard.

How the families feel

Jones' mother, Beverly Jones, said family members had seen the tapes. She knew police were releasing the tapes, even though the family didn't want them to.

"But it doesn't matter how the family feels," she said. "The media just wants it, and that's it."
