Charlotte Police Body Cam & now dash cam footage - Keith Lamont Scott Charlotte Shooting (vid)

What might've been the scenario before the cops came was... He could've been in his car, waiting to make a marijuana sale in that parking lot away from his family. His gun was there for self-defense. (Not excusing all this, just saying I can see this being why he was out there with these things IF, in fact, he had the items the police say they found).

Watching a lot of T.J. Hooker episodes on Netflix?

Do you know how much time it takes to say "Light him up!" when you're on a hair trigger and your life is potentially a split second from ending? No one's going to say "Light him up".

And, of course, he was probably high...maybe partly to help with pain from his "disability", whatever it was. Anyone know what his disability was?

What do they mean by.. "grip in his hand.. grip in his hand"

or something like that?

it takes exactly as long as saying

"here it comes"

just before a car hits you.

traumatic brain injury is all I've heard.

I think they were saying the gun was still gripped in his hand, so they removed it, that was when Red Shirt kicked it behind himself, then stepped back to guard it.

Too bad that's not on video, huh?

Thanks. Hadn't heard that. :)

OK. There are 2 scenarios here.

1. The suspect had a gun, didn't comply with numerous instructions and was shot.

2. The suspect didn't have a gun, didn't comply with numerous instructions and was shot.

It matters not a whit if he was actually armed or not. If you are told to "drop the gun" or "put your hands up". You do it. You try to tickle a cloud and show that you are no threat to the men with the guns.

It's a natural reaction when faced with several policemen brandishing firearms who have not shot yet.

His past criminal record, to be honest, is of no consequence in the here and now.

If he had simply put his hands up and was then shot, THEN there is a MASSIVE problem.

If you are a cop facing someone who you think may be armed, you can bet your bottom dollar that you do everything within your power to ensure that he/she isn't.

It is simply common sense.

I have been in similar situations a few times but thankfully no shots were required.

It's possible "part" of that is on the wife's video. But there is no visual of a moving kicked gun, no.

if it was still gripped in his hand,
how did it get out between the red officer's legs?

something ain't right here.

Exactly. Too much time. You have to...

1) see the gun

2) say the words "light him up!"

3) your words have to register with the other officers

4) other officers have to then fire

No one waits til someone says "Light him up!" Again, T.J. Hooker bullshit. They simply fire.

They showed a freeze frame break down of exactly this, surprisingly on MSNBC earlier today.

South paw.

Good clean kill.

Jesus, you don't think the officers would disarm the suspect they just shot, then get the weapon out of his reach.

if I.. as someone who believes he had a gun, can not see it clearly, there is no way those who wanted the release of the video will SEE a gun..

There you have it. This is why Charlotte will have their hands full tonight.

I couldn't get what was being said - but that implies they were speaking for the benefit of the audio - did they think their cams were off?




This is cold blooded execution - my daughter is 17 - she says its like there is nothing any of these people could have done to avoid being shot.

What was Crutcher supposed to do - what was Scott supposed to do?



There is clearly some severe form of psychosis evident within the US police forces of some counties - like they think they are in a clansman video war game.


Beyond sickening.

Definitely nothing VERY CLEAR in either or any of the videos released, by police or family.

It will not change anything, besides people now seeing what they want to (no gun) and possibly making it worse.
