Charlotte Shooting Video: Footage Shows Fatal Encounter Between Police, Keith Lamont Scott
NBC News ^

Posted on 09/23/2016 12:34:47 PM PDT by Strac6

Unsettling footage obtained by NBC News shows the moments leading up to the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The video, taken by Scott's wife, does not clearly show the exact moment he was shot by police on Tuesday. Scott is seen on the ground surrounded by police officers moments after the shots were fired. "He better not be f---ing dead, he better not be f---ing dead," Rakeyia Scott can be heard shouting at the officers. "He better live, he better live!" It is not clear what preceded the shooting.

The killing of Scott, 43, sparked three nights of fiery protests and violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement. Activists and the Scott family have pressed city officials to release bodycam or dashcam footage of the fatal encounter.

And .. the forensic tests of the “weapon” - which is clearly visible in the video - while the wife was swearing her husband didn’t have one; was found to have Scott’s blood and his fingerprints.

SOOOOOO .. THERE WAS A WEAPON .. AND THE FORENSICS PROVE HE HELD IT AND HIS BLOOD WAS ON IT INDICATING HE PROBABLY HAD IT IN HIS HAND WHEN HE WAS SHOT.

CASE OVER !!!!!!!

And .. there was NO BOOK.

You can get mad but she is still going to use it at every single opportunity.

Case closed doesn’t matter to the media or BLM or Soros.

It doesn’t matter to the morons who will believe this is all Trump’s fault sometimes

Case over for you doesn’t mean much. Sorry. It is what it is.

Hope Trump DOES know those facts. or it’ll be a long night

Haven’t watched it yet, but heard audio in car.

Wife [to Keith]: “Don’t do it.”

Pray tell, don’t do what?
Take the book out of the car? /s

Yes, and he was a convicted FELON .. which means he was not allowed to have a weapon to begin with.

Well .. I would like to make a guess that most of those who don’t believe any of this info .. ARE NOT VOTING CITIZENS.

THIS MEANS NOTHING TO TRUMP.

“Keith, Keith, Don’t you do it” ...

She go her husband shot.

The Police, highly charged, stressed beyond measure, trying to weigh the threat, hear his wife saying “Keith, Keith, Don’t you do it”...

She was not only a distraction but she was also someone putting in the mind of the officers the reasonable apprehension of imminent bodily harm. [Don’t do what?]

That said, she certainly did not want her Husband shot. It is a travesty. Prayers for him, hers, and theirs.

Hmmm, how did he pass a background check??? Oh, you mean criminals don't have to go thru background checks to get guns but lawful citizens do. hmmmm

From watching the video it appears that at or prior to 1:41, there was no gun on the street at 1 foot to the left of the white shoe of the policeman standing next to the body. The shadow in front of his foot is from a policeman in a red shirt standing off to the right.

Now, one second later, at 1:42, there is a gun lying on the street about 1 foot from the white shoe of the policeman. The man in the red shirt and his shadow do not appear to have moved. The video before 1:41 also didn't show a gun in that location on the street. I think a frame by frame investigation of this one second would be helpful.

1: Cops can repeatedly be heard telling the perp to "Drop the gun." They would not have said that had their been no gun

Stop sending me private emails please.

A former ATF agent said earlier if you look at the policeman in red, he is standing on the gun to preserve the evidence. At one point he moves but left foot stays in place like it’s in concrete. Later when police tape is put up, you can see the gun.

I agree it’s an odd response to a traumatic event.

She was taunting/threatening at a moment you’d think other emotions would be present, like concern for your husband.
