I don't know why you can't see it. It's plain as day he was advancing towards the squad car and reaching for the gun in his waistband. That's when the police shot him. (Tamir Rice)

He didn't even have time to do all of that before he was shot. If it was a legit shooting the officers wouldn't have felt a need to lie about it.

Apparently, he did because you can clearly see him doing so in the video: walking towards the squad car and reaching for the weapon in his waistband.

Ankle Holster Clearly Visible As Police Release Keith Scott Shooting Video

Charlotte police are releasing body camera and dash camera video of the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, a convicted felon who was shot and killed by Officer Brentley Vinson after Scott was told by police to drop his handgun 11 times in 45 seconds.


I think we can all agree that you will believe what you choose, but we have the right to believe what we see.

His pants leg is rolled up but you can distinguish that is a holster???


This is the dashboard camera, looks like he bent over because he was shot. The police indicated he had a gun visible on their first visit so he would have had to place it back in his ankle holster before their second visit.

My feeling is that it might not be rolled up. He could have simply pulled up his pant leg to grab his gun and his pants went back down behind the holster and therefore the holster was clearly visible.

He had time, and the officers didn't lie.

I can't tell if that is a holster and his being shot coincides with bending over. If the officers saw the gun on his lap then he would have had to place it back in the holster (if that is a holster) before their second visit, not beyond the realm but strange.


This is a great commercial against open carry if he has a gun as stated by police.


Why haven't we seen a copy of the police statements?

Nope

Convected felons are not allowed to possess guns.

Not only did he lie, it wasn't the first time.

I'd like to see more info on the gun. As has already been noted it was in firing mode (hammer cocked and safety off) when the photo was taken. But was there a round in the chamber? I would assume so since the hammer was cocked. How many rounds in the magazine? What was the caliber? Make, model, etc.? Releasing these details would give the police version more credibility. Not that I think it's likely that the Charlotte police planted the gun. Not with the entire country following this case.
