Consider two posibliites.

That is literally the same excuse some ultraconservative Salafist/Wahhabist might give. Although I imagine the people who’d flip out over that are somehow okay with this.

If this is what your religion teaches / preaches, your religion sucks.

“In possession of a handgun” is by no means the same as “threatening police with a handgun.” So if he was merely in possession of it, then I guess we will truly find out if the second amendment applies to everyone or just white people.

So what the fuck is the point of body cameras if they only want to release it when it backs up their version of the “truth”??

No it doesn’t. It just permits the police to withhold it. (At least in North Carolina).

Here are some things we don’t need evidence for, because they are undisputed fact:

I hope you rot in hell for this comment. The woman saw her husband shot, and you make a callous comment like this. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Ted Cruz doesn’t have balls. He has a cloaca.

You are missing the point. A TBI would mean that he may not be fully capable of comprehending the officers’ directives. Add his wife’s assertion that he had no weapon, and one could easily see how confusing the situation was for Keith Lamont Scott.

Please tell us how this black woman should react to several officers pointing guns at her black husband who suffers from a traumatic brain injury.

I’d pay attention because as a police officer, my job would be to pay attention and be aware of as many of the facts as possible before shooting a citizen I’m paid to protect.

North Korea sounds like a better fit for you.

The PD needs to release the body cam footage.

They say it to cover themselves. If they thought he had a gun, they wouldn’t be talking about breaking the window with a baton.

I guess it’s a smart move to slip this in on a Friday afternoon, but man, why not just chop your balls off and mail them to the guy?

What I don’t understand: This video does not support the police narrative, why won’t they release thier own videos to back themselves up.

I know I heard the DA saying that the police video is inconclusive but at the very least it could provide some counterpoint to Mrs. Scotts video.

If the body cameras really backed up the cops’ story, why wouldn’t they release them to appease the rioters?

You might not be so quick if you had a traumatic brain injury.

Cops are absolutely known to attack people while yelling “stop resisting” so them yelling “drop the gun” for no reason wouldn’t surprise me.
