Wife of Keith Scott, Charlotte Shooting Victim, Filmed Fatal Encounter With Police
New York Slimes ^

Posted on 09/23/2016 10:43:20 AM PDT by TigerClaws

A cellphone camera video made by the wife of Keith L. Scott before he was fatally shot by police here shows the moments before and after the incident, including the wife’s pleas to her husband to get out of his truck, and her pleas to the police not to shoot him.

But the video, which was given to the Times by attorneys for the family Friday, does not include a view of the shooting itself. Nor does it answer the crucial question of whether Mr. Scott had a gun, as the police have maintained.

The officers repeatedly tell him to "drop the gun" and he must not have.

This helps the officers, IMHO.

So has she turned over this evidence? Kind of puts the whole “he was reading a book waiting for his kids” meme in question, doesn’t it??

Wifey “filmed fatal encounter with police”

“But the video, which was given to the Times by attorneys for the family Friday, does not include a view of the shooting itself.”

More quality gerbalism from the Slimes/

Exactly.

“Don’t do it!” Read a book? Shows they lied immediately. Wanted to hit the cop shooting lotto.

“Drop the gun!” over and over and over. That’s no quick trigger officer. They don’t have to wait for actual pointing and firing at them to shoot. Gun can go up in less than a second and he was clearly warned. Looks like a good shooting.

She lied repeatedly to the officers that he had no weapon, he had no gun.

All the while the cops were yelling at him over and over and over again to “drop the gun.”

“The lawyers said the cellphone video was shot by Rakeyia Scott, Mr. Scott’s wife on Tuesday afternoon.”

He did after they capped him.

I’m guessing Keith had a gun in his hand.

MSNBC is running this tape over and over, with an "expert analyst" doing stop-film commentary during one of the replays.

His commentary, of course, is biased in favor of Keith Scott and his wife....with thinly-veiled hints that the gun was a "drop" by one of the cops.

Scott was a devoted family man, that much is true.

Now we learning what kind of a family he was so devoted to.

A family that hates wites and calls them devils

A family with a long and violent history

A family that hates the police

A family that eggs the guy on to not comply with lawful police orders to drop the gun in his hand?

I guess that there are families and then there are crime families. There is no law about members of crime families being related to each other

Rakeyia Scott, Mr. Scott’s wife on Tuesday afternoon

I thought that was good grammar. Rakeyia was Scott’s wife on Tuesday afternoon, and his widow by Tuesday evening.

He be confused and now he daid.

She’s lying to the police, she knows they had a gun in the car. Yeah, medicine.

She’s a quality person, yeah right.

"She keeps yelling to kith, don’t do it ..."

She doesn't start saying that until after the police tell Keith to get out of the car.

I think if we are going to be objective about this, it looks like she is telling him not to get out of the car.

Now, this video provides nothing visual about whether he had a gun or not (aside from multiple officers telling him to drop the gun), and what he might have been doing with it and why he was refusing to obey orders by police with their weapons drawn.
