Noah- the video from the Keith Scott shooting clearly shows Scott exiting his vehicle, holding the gun in his hands and not putting it down when ordered to by the police. In his recent past before the shooting his wife also went to the police and said that Scott threatened to kill her and their children as well. I’m quite confused how you can defend his shooting by the police as something that should not have happened. When the police are ordering you out of a vehicle, you come out with a gun, they order you to drop the gun and you do not, what do you expect to happen? there’s also a clear history of violence and threats of violence from this man not long before the shooting either. I could go on but I think you get my point. When you refuse to put a gun down the police tell you too, the police will neutralize the threat. Plain and simple. I just don’t understand how you can say the police should have charges in this case. The Philando Castile case in Minnesota, now there’s a case where the cops and have charges. But absolutely not in this case Noah.
Hi Paul, I just re-watched the footage several times, there is no way it “clearly shows Scott…holding the gun in his hands” – you can’t tell at all if he’s holding a gun. Go to the 43 second mark on the split screen video and you see both of his hands are at his side, very unlikely that he’d have a gun in his hands if they were both limp at his sides. He’d have the gun up and ready to use, or at least both hands on it. Watch those three seconds, 43-46, and the guy simply was not a deadly threat. Even if he had a gun in his hand, limp at his side as he slowly walked backwards (not being aggressive at all), he wasn’t getting out of that vehicle to attack, it’s obvious from those 3 seconds. If he raised the gun, ok shoot him, but he didn’t. (If he had a gun in hand at all, which there is not visual evidence of)
