NAACP Leader on Keith Scott Shooting: ‘It Really Doesn’t Matter If He Had a Gun’

A local NAACP leader told CNN’s Carol Costello Thursday that it didn’t actually matter whether or not black Charlotte man Keith Scott had a gun on him when he was shot and killed by police.

Scott’s death led to protests and violence for the past two days, after his family reported that he was holding a book when he died. Charlotte police have called that false, saying that police body camera footage shows he was brandishing a gun and that they recovered a weapon from the scene.

But the president of the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP Corine Mack said ultimately it didn’t matter. “I think the most important part is the contrast in him having a book versus a gun. But in my mind and in most of the community’s mind, it really doesn’t matter if he had a gun,” she said.

Well it matters to cops and law abiding citizens.

We dont shoot people walking on the street with a book.

We do shoot criminal thugs who are rushing in their car to get a gun to shoot cops first.

Ask the putz why this guy was going for his gun?

Why does the black putz thug have a right to shot cops, but cops cant protect themselves from gun wielding thugs of any color?

All that matters is he was black so was oppressed. Never mind the officer was black, too.

Nope, it doesn’t matter because their agenda is to defend criminals and criminal behavior. Not one single icon of this BLM movement has been a law abiding black who was just minding his own business.

If you have a gun and they tell you to drop it and you don't, you are a threat to them.

You are asking to be shot.

And if Hillary is elected I believe we'll see a "Reparations" Bill introduced in an attempt to:

1) Quell the savages beasts

2) Show black Americans how "horrible" they've been treated

And of course this, in an attempt to keep them on the democrat plantation.

I don't doubt it and by doing that she will validate their anger the same way Hillary and 0bunga validated muslim anger in Pakistan. It would have the same effect too.

Yup, liberals love to inflame folks to take attention away from their crimes, incompetence or both.

BTW, it's Pock-E-Ston :-)

The NAALCP is purely an enabler for keeping blacks on the government plantation. Are all other race-pimping individuals and organizations.

All the way to the top of the food chain - POtuS.

'If' police have a gun?

Where do you live in Britain?

Go ahead and pull a gun on a policeman and tell him to drop his gun and see what happens.

You must be a Libertarian voter.
