A local NAACP leader told CNNs Carol Costello Thursday that it didnt actually matter whether or not black Charlotte man Keith Scott had a gun on him when he was shot and killed by police.
Scotts 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 didnt 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 communitys mind, it really doesnt matter if he had a gun, she said.

Besides poor use of the English language, it means that a black man was shot by a cop and we're going to riot because that's what we do.
