A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer shot and killed an armed man named Keith Scott at an apartment complex Tuesday, while executing an arrest warrant. Angry street protests began almost immediately.
CMPD Chief Kerr Putney reiterated Wednesday morning that Keith Scott was armed when he approached officers in University City Tuesday. Putney said that officers gave repeated verbal commands for Scott to drop his handgun. He said Scott posed a threat to the officers.

Channel 9 obtained an image from the scene of the shooting that shows a gun on the ground near Scott’s feet as officers stood around him. Officials confirmed to Channel 9 that is the weapon they confiscated from Keith Scott. (sourcing)

Sorry if this has been posted already. I have not read the 100+ posts yet...
Photos of gun:
Wait -— they had an arrest warrant for this guy??? You mean he might have been a criminal known to the police??? You mean he wasn’t just an innocent civilian minding his own business, reading a book while he waited to pick up his child???
Unless they listen to the Obama Administration that WANTS this rioting.
The article says that officials said it belongs to Keith Scott.”
It sounds like they checked.
Look at #102. Sounds to me like that man if he had even slightly delayed in dropping that weapon was a threat to the lives of the officers. They had to assume that.
I guess Jesse missed the part where the cop is black, too. The cop is just collateral damage to JJ.
Of course they will or have claimed it was planted.

Felony assault with intent to kill pretty well wraps it up for just about anyone. If he even shows a gun, he’s going down. Any officer who’d do otherwise doesn’t care for his own life.
“MIght” help Trump??!!!
Let me get this straight, criminal with long record pulls gun on cops and gets shot dead.
Media, libs, and BLM promote anarchy, riots, property damage, threats to the public safety, larceny, and they believe it is acceptable.
What world are we living in?
Stop the Riots and go spend your welfare checks now. There was a gun and you were wrong
The article states: “Officials confirmed to Channel 9 that is the weapon they confiscated from Keith Scot”
It does not say it was his or registered to him. “officials confirmed”... “they confiscated from Scott”. If it was registered to him you betya that they would have indicated as much.
Keith was a bad dude by all accounts.
But something doesn’t fit here.
We are living by the rule of social justice not the rule of law.
It’s bizarre. I saw a video of Scott’s brother yelling at the top of his voice—he hated white people.
-——Uh, hello. The Officer who shot his brother was not white.
I heard someone say policies regarding the use of lethal for e need to be changed.
——Right, LEO can’t fire until a bullet enters their “personal space.” Good luck with that.
If Hillary is elected, we are headed towards a very bad outcome. Total anarchy followed by total government control of our lives. This will spread into all of our communities and the blood of innocents will spread before it ends.
Oh & by the way. I have a newsflash for those BLM thugs. If I, a 62 year old grandmother (white at that) brandished a pistol after being being stopped by the cops, I’d be dead, too. And it would be my own damned fault.
Nah, says the Congressional Black Caucus. That was just his college id. card.
Never let the truth get in the way of a black racist or white communist.
Too blurry...Could be a cell phone...
