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."

Because the entire concept of law enforcement was invented by white people to keep black people down. True racial justice is found in the war of all against all.
Black “activist” and their cannon fodder imagine blacks would win. The Zulus and Sudanese thought that, too.
“Drudge says Tweets going out to attack White Areas of Charlotte”
Anything that happens is happening on Obama’s watch!
The shooting was only “racially charged” because the establishment media bowed down to police hating Marxist activists.
All the actors were black. How do you get “racially charged” out of that?
The familys assertion is that the cop planted a gun on the perp? Any genuine proof of that or just the families “feelings”?
Pure nonsense. Just made up nonsense.
No matter. He is a policeman therefore he is a white racist.
Lawyer bait for civil suit

I am beyond disgusted with “Journalists” who cannot differentiate between the GROUND & the FLOOR.
Do they all live in a cave?
It is evidence of their lack of common sense. Even a 3rd grader know the difference.
