IMHO cop should have been fired for not firing sooner.

The North Carolina cop whose shooting of a black man in September touched off riots and helped fan fanned racial flames around the nation will not face charges, a prosecutor said Wednesday as he painstakingly laid out evidence the dead man brandished an illegal gun at police and ignored repeated commands to drop it.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg District Attorney Andrew Murray determined that Officer Brentley Vinson's actions in killing Keith Lamont Scott were justified.
“We cannot know what Scott’s intention was that day,” Murray said.
Scott's family has said he was not armed.
Murray held an extensive news conference and displayed a nearby store's surveillance video showing the outline of what appeared to be a holstered gun on Scott's ankle, and he gave extensive details about other evidence that Scott was armed.
Prior to any confrontation, Vinson informed another officer that he saw Scott with a gun, Murray said. Officers at the scene said after Scott was shot, the gun fell to the floor.
"Mr. Scott's DNA was found on the slide of the gun and the grip of the gun," Murray said. The Charlotte police crime lab found Scott's fingerprints on the gun, but the state crime lab "did not find that print to be of value."

Cop cleared was black.
There will be more riots. In fact, there are many people who are just looking for an excuse to riot.
“Cop cleared was black.”
Cleared of criminal charges.
Christmas shopping time.
So what happens now?
Do the cops riot in celebration, overturning drug dealers’ cars and setting them on fire (the drug dealers, not the cars)?
There probably are a few cases of racist cop behavior somewhere, but the activists can’t find those to riot about. They only seem to pick cases where the police are blatantly innocent.
The familys assertion is that the cop planted a gun on the perp? Any genuine proof of that or just the families “feelings”?

Racially charged?
A lie when a black cop kills a black suspect.
But that doesn’t fit the Black Lives Matter mantra about eevil white cops mowing down blacks at random.
The last thing on earth the agitators WANT is to get the genuine racism cases dealt with through proper channels. That might actually get RID of it, which would leave them with nothing to complain about.
like sheriff clarke he is an uncle tom (TO THEM)
IMHO cop should have been fired for not firing sooner.
” Burn this bitch down!”
Christmas is coming.
New flat screen and XBox time.
It would seem that in the age of obama, a great many Blacks would prefer that no one enforce the law.
Wow on earth was it “racially-charged” whe both cop and perp were black???
Drudge says Tweets going out to attack White Areas of Charlotte
