Video footage collected from students and police will be the focus of the next meeting of the independent commission reviewing the April 2-3 disturbances.

The commission will meet at 10 a.m. Friday at the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road.

The footage will allow the commission to see what actually happened when about 3,000 people gathered in the streets of East Lansing after the men's basketball team lost to the University of North Carolina in the Final Four.

The presentation will only show a portion of the student-filmed footage collected by ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government, and from MSU police and Michigan State Police, commission Chairman and East Lansing Mayor Mark Meadows said.

"About an hour of those videos are of the critical time frame," he said, referring to the time when crowds gathered in Cedar Village and police launched tear-gas canisters.

"But any commissioner who wants to look at all the video is free to do that."

ASMSU Student Assembly Chairman Andrew Schepers said he's looking forward to seeing whether the footage is in tune with what students and police claim happened.

"We're anxious and excited to see what police are talking about," he said. "I know I'm interested in seeing it all."

Schepers added that he's sure some people in the crowd might have been disorderly and that some officers might have been out of line.

Seeing all the footage will allow him and other commissioners to see the whole story, Schepers said.
