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.

Game, set, match.

It’s pretty clear even though the picture is fuzzy. Knee-jerk media caused a riot for nothing - but it might help Trump.
Is that a gun-shaped book? Hard to tell...
Looks like a book to me, /S.
Even if the photo is publicized, the BLM people will say it was a "drop gun" placed by the Po-Leece.
I hear they looted a Wal-Mart. If true, Wal-Mart should shutter all Wal-Mart stores for a year in cities that allow their stores to be violated. Close it for an extended safety study. Don’t pass along the cost of damaged stores to all other Wal-Mart stores across the country.
well that settles it then!
Not ‘just’ a book. A bible! /s
The term is “throw down.”
They are like muslims. They have no interest in the truth. It’s a waste of time to try to convince them. Just arrest them.
True. Another, in this case, would be "Photo-shopped."
The rioters and looters would rather believe the lie that it was a book.
Black Lies Matter. Burn Loot Murder.
What they did is create an Urban SNAP food wasteland for the wimmins that be having their children.
How inconvenient for that book to be shaped like a handgun.
Has the Buffoon-in-Chief addressed the masses yet?
So Soros will call off the riots now, right?
True. They believe what their BLM masters tell them now and use it as an excuse to “get paid” through looting.
Just got back from the public library
