'Heartbroken' mother of Keith Scott claims book he was reading when shot by police was the Koran
Daily Mail ^ | 9-23-16 | Snejana Farberov

The mother of Keith Scott says her 43-year-old son was reading his Koran in the parking lot of a Charlotte, North Carolina, apartment complex when he was shot dead by a police officer Tuesday.

Scott's killing was followed by violent riots and bouts of looting that engulfed the city, leaving one protester dead, nine injured and 44 others arrested.

Police in Charlotte have said that Scott was shot after he refused orders to drop a gun he was holding, but the man's family said the item he was holding was a book, not a firearm.

In an exclusive interview with the station WCSC Thursday night, Scott's mother, Vernita Scott Walker, claimed that the book her son was reading in his truck was the Koran, which he used to do every day while waiting to pick up his son from school.

'He loved to read that book,' Mrs Walker said of the holy text of Islam.

If he was reading the Koran, shooting was justified...........sudden jihad could happen anytime.

When I worked at Barnes & Noble, there was a book all the prison inmates ordered: Game of Thrones.

Reading the Koran, patting a kitten and turning his life around, when the white stormtroopers decided to execute him for no reason. #liberalmedialogicmatters

Was it a semi-automatic Koran or a revolver?

And then, after he was shot, his Koran magically turned into a gun!

Does she have the same publicity manager as Trayvon Martin’s mother?

The despicable, dishonest and greedy nature of this culture is astounding.

I believe it. I also believe that Hillary's in perfect health, Obama loves America, O.J. was framed, and Laz is a Democrat.
