Charlotte Shooting Video: Footage Shows Fatal Encounter Between Police, Keith Lamont Scott
NBC News ^

Posted on 09/23/2016 12:34:47 PM PDT by Strac6

Unsettling footage obtained by NBC News shows the moments leading up to the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The video, taken by Scott's wife, does not clearly show the exact moment he was shot by police on Tuesday. Scott is seen on the ground surrounded by police officers moments after the shots were fired. "He better not be f---ing dead, he better not be f---ing dead," Rakeyia Scott can be heard shouting at the officers. "He better live, he better live!" It is not clear what preceded the shooting.

The killing of Scott, 43, sparked three nights of fiery protests and violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement. Activists and the Scott family have pressed city officials to release bodycam or dashcam footage of the fatal encounter.

Good catch

Brain injury, or even no brain; point a gun at me, or hold a handgun within 40 meters of me, in a threatening manner, the said person will be DRT.

Worked for the VC/PAVN. Works for the AMish.

1:54 you can see the gun fall from the black police officer? This is a bit odd. Could be that he picked up gun earlier but you can visibly see it drop. Bit odd.

I think those are gloves. If you keep rolling the video there are actually two objects on the ground and you can see the cop bend over to pick them up but you can't see him actually pick them up because the camera then pans left.

Looking at the photo below of the gun from another angle, it is not at that location, but rather between his feet and the curb. Either the gun is in shadow in the video or maybe Scott fell on it and when they rolled him over someone set the gun there.

A former ATF agent said earlier if you look at the policeman in red, he is standing on the gun to preserve the evidence. At one point he moves but left foot stays in place like it’s in concrete. Later when police tape is put up, you can see the gun.

I think that's right.

I found the gun. If you look at the frames beginning at 1:04 there is an object on the ground about three feet behind the cop in the red shirt.

Keep rolling, and the cop steps backward a couple of steps and at 1:08 - 1:09 is standing over the object, straddling it between his feet. At 1:56 he is still standing over it and I can see the object inside his left instep.

That location matches the place where the gun is seen in the later photo (after police tape has been put up) between the curb and the body.

#45. If you look at both photos, the police officer nearest the deceased still has his hands in the same position (I.e not moving) so it would be impossible for him to drop a gun down and get back into the same position in one second.

The film would have caught the “plant” either in his hands, falling, or hitting the ground. Guns do not fall flat without moving around on a solid surface like the road.

Also, the other policeman at 1.42 could not have thrown or dropped it in one second. It would have bounced or be seen in the air.

I’ll go with the gun belonging to the deceased. Fingerprints and DNA will tell us much more.

Also, if it was he gun, as others have asked, how did a convicted felon get it, did his wife know that he had it (possibly from her shouting to him), and what kind of medicines was he supposedly own (which would preclude him from even touching a firearm).

Give it a few days and I suspect all these questions will be answered, one way or the other.

Stop the video at 1:06. The gun is behind the officer in red. He then steps back and over it and the gun is obscured for the rest of the video.

Meet the New Boss @49:

If the object suddenly appearing next to the left white are gloves, then where is the gun?

Here are two snapshots of the area near the shadow of the white truck taken at 0:37 (left) and 1:55 (right). Where the policeman in the red shirt is standing there may be something on the ground between his feet, but it wasn't seen there earlier (at 0:37).

To: All

some lawyer/protest leader just had a presser..asked “why do we not see the gun in one picture/video but it’s in the other” saying that’s fishy or something like that

not going to go well with the masses..it doesn’t matter if you tell them to guy in red was standing over it or not...they are going to think is was planted now
