Keith Scott was carrying a stolen gun when he was shot and killed during a confrontation with police in Charlotte, North Carolina, authorities have said. The gun was reported stolen after a breaking and entering, according to the police. A breaking and entering suspect told agents at the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives that he had sold the gun to Scott, ABC 11 reported Monday. He is now in custody. Scott's wife Rakeyia, who filmed her husband's killing on Tuesday, had filed for a restraining order against him and had told authorities he carried a gun, hit her as well as one of her children and had threatened to kill her, records have shown.

Who cares? Don’t people know it’s the accusation that’s important rather than the evidence. And the media is going “yeah, yeah, sure sure”

Interesting how the foreign press reports a lot of stuff we don’t hear from our own MSM.

I really want to know what these black people expect?....do they want NO police in their "communities" or perhaps only black police?...

its fine with me...

but I demand full protection in my areas plus full protection in common public places like malls and zoos and parks, etc...

hey, they want to live like they do, let them..

The handgun he had when he was shot is a .380 Mustang...which means he was illegally in possession of two different firearms if her complaintant statement is accurate.

“Scott’s wife Rakeyia, who filmed her husband’s killing on Tuesday, had filed for a restraining order against him and had told authorities he carried a gun, hit her as well as one of her children and had threatened to kill her.”

So the filming and the supposed outcry about the shooting was, what? Cynical me says it was what she needed for a wrongful death lawsuit and a pretty good chunk of change.

Of course, no way a street punk would be savvy enough to have a Colt Mustang otherwise.

ANY gun he might have had would likely be a stolen gun, since as an ex-felon, he was prohibited from legally possessing any guns.

In some places they don’t even want black cops.

A BLM spokesperson suggested looking into police-less communities. There was an FR thread this morning.

BTW I already live in a police-less neighborhood. I have been in my current home 15 years and can’t remember ever seeing police in the area, haven’t seen any crime either.

Most certainly. Which turns the whole gun control meme from the left on its head.

Black thugs matter expect cops to drop their weapons, put their hands up and cry “hands up, don’t shoot” when they encounter black armed criminals. Nothing else will satisfy them, Barry or his DOJ.
