After reading through the history, his sister's claim about being unarmed is questionable.
A public records search shows that Scott was convicted in April 2004 of a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge in Mecklenburg County. Other charges stemming from that date were dismissed: felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and misdemeanors assault on a child under 12, assault on a female and communicating threats.
In April 2015 in Gaston County Court, Scott was found guilty of driving while intoxicated.
In 1992, Scott was charged in Charleston County, S.C., with several different crimes on different dates, including carrying a concealed weapon (not a gun), simple assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
Scott also was charged with aggravated assault in 1992 and assault with intent to kill in 1995. Both charges were reduced, but the disposition of the cases is unclear.
According to Bexar County, Texas, records, Scott was sentenced in March 2005 to 15 months in a state jail for evading arrest. In July of that year, records show, he was sentenced to seven years in prison on a conviction of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman said Scott completed his sentence and was released from prison in 2011.
I heard last night that the cop who killed him was on her way to a totally different scene. Responding to a call about domestic violence. She saw the car in the road and stopped. Shouldn't she have just called it in to others and continue on her way to the DV scene?
Instead of possibly saving a life, she took one.
Of course, that could be just one of the many lies she's already told.
From all indications she was on her way to another call. Why she ignored it will have to be answered later.
I'd like to see any video showing his hands were up when the cops tazer/shoot him. Every video I've seen show without a doubt that his right hand was reaching for the car door or his pocket and his left arm was lowered, definitely not raised on the car.

This is the way it looked to me. I couldn't see what his left hand was doing but it appeared to be lowered too.
She didn't ignore the other call, she encountered Crutcher on the way.
She was at the Crutcher scene where it was unknown what was going on or how serious it was. It's logical that she stopped.
Do not confuse them with logic.
