NAACP Leader on Keith Scott Shooting: ‘It Really Doesn’t Matter If He Had a Gun’

A local NAACP leader told CNN’s Carol Costello Thursday that it didn’t actually matter whether or not black Charlotte man Keith Scott had a gun on him when he was shot and killed by police.

Scott’s death led to protests and violence for the past two days, after his family reported that he was holding a book when he died. Charlotte police have called that false, saying that police body camera footage shows he was brandishing a gun and that they recovered a weapon from the scene.

But the president of the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP Corine Mack said ultimately it didn’t matter. “I think the most important part is the contrast in him having a book versus a gun. But in my mind and in most of the community’s mind, it really doesn’t matter if he had a gun,” she said.

Of course it doesnt matter..they could care less if he tried to kill a cop, if he had killed the cop he would have been hailed as a hero to Commie leftists..now its all about looting and getting as much free stuff as possible.

OK, let's play a little mind-game.

First, I point a cucumber at you.

Then, I point a gun at you.

Would you feel threatened in either, or both cases? Why or why not?

Whether or not he had a gun is not relevant. Whether or not he was brandishing one is relevant.

Literally speaking, it doesn’t matter that he was armed. What matters is what he was doing with the gun just before he was shot.

To Leftists (evolutionary atheists), killing cops is the sacrificial act of a freedom fighter since cops symbolize our racist, sexist society from which the oppressed need to be liberated.

"But in my mind and in most of the community’s mind, it really doesn’t matter if he had a gun."

That's because you're a misfit and a loser, and you represent a "community" that is completely alien in a civilized world.

There is a growing number of white people out there who don't care if he had a gun, either ... and not in the way this NAACP mutant would find comforting.

Most of these “protestors” are probably glad he was killed...All they want is an excuse to go riot, burn, steal, trash anything they can get to...

They know that the police aren’t going to do anything dangerous to them...Very few are arrested, and those that are will be released soon...They know they can get away with most anything they do...

What matters is, it's a license to loot.

If she had the foggiest clue what she was talking about she would also know that you follow police commands, especially when you have a weapon. If you are legally in possession of a weapon, you go on your way.

You do not get cutesey and do ANYTHING that might be misconstrued as an aggressive act. SOUNDS like this guy did most everything wrong....

Well,Mack told the truth. In tribal thinking ‘NO BLACKS CAN BE KILLED EVER BY POLICE’. For any reason. EVER- or there will be riots and violence.They must be allowed to do any and everything they like with no interference from law enforcement. Inter-tribal killing is allowed, outsiders killing is always wrong. Now- does civilized society obey and accept this or not?

Scott got himself perished and his bros got big screen TV’s, Iphones and other good loot.He done more good for his community dead than he ever did alive. One would hope one of the ‘protestors’ gave his grieving family a big screen, at least!
