Are you serious here? If a man is holding a gun, refusing to follow the orders of a police officer you don't consider that good cause for the officer to protect himself? wow.
Imagine if that were you opposite the man holding the gun, I'll bet your opinion would change.
If you want to respond to what I said, great. If you want to place words in my mouth, don't bother.
The armed Charlotte man who was shot and killed by a police officer ignored multiple warnings to drop his weapon and posed “a threat” to officers, the police chief said Wednesday.
According to Putney, Scott stepped out of his car near an apartment complex armed with a handgun. North Carolina is an open carry state, which means residents can carrying firearms openly in public places without a permit or license.
Police say that Scott got back in the car as officers approached, but ignored “loud, clear verbal commands” to drop his weapon.
Scott exited the car again and still held onto the gun as officers kept yelling to him. Vinson, who was in plainclothes, fired after police determined he was “posing a threat,” Putney said.
Putney denied rumors from social media that Scott was reading a book when he was shot.
“The story’s a little bit different than how it’s been portrayed so far, especially on social media,” he said.
you need to know something, when ever you take a gun class, they warn you, and everyone who owns a gun should know this...
You never, ever pull a gun on someone, unless your prepared to shoot them. Because once you pull out that gun, you have a split second before he shoots, to defend himself.
That is common knowledge.
That is why, these kids, using fake guns to rob stores, get shot, b/c they look just like real guns....
Some people think using a gun is a game, to threaten, it is not.....
if you pull a gun on someone, you'd better be prepared to shoot or get shot.
We do not know that the "gun was pulled on him" nor the complete circumstances.
Hillary is again inciting violence against police officers. More dead officers will be in the news as Hillary uses this situation as a vote getter for herself and the sacrifice will be more dead officers. Hillary is beyond sleazy.
Well ppl are getting tired of how mean the police are to people........... I can sort of understand....

If you are holding a handgun and the cops tell you to drop it? That's just a special kind of stupid. So maybe the cops are tired of "special kind of stupid".
we have social media to thank for making it possible for the guy's daughter to spew her lies and incitements that sparked this riot.
