'Heartbroken' mother of Keith Scott claims book he was reading when shot by police was the Koran
Daily Mail ^ | 9-23-16 | Snejana Farberov

The mother of Keith Scott says her 43-year-old son was reading his Koran in the parking lot of a Charlotte, North Carolina, apartment complex when he was shot dead by a police officer Tuesday.

Scott's killing was followed by violent riots and bouts of looting that engulfed the city, leaving one protester dead, nine injured and 44 others arrested.

Police in Charlotte have said that Scott was shot after he refused orders to drop a gun he was holding, but the man's family said the item he was holding was a book, not a firearm.

In an exclusive interview with the station WCSC Thursday night, Scott's mother, Vernita Scott Walker, claimed that the book her son was reading in his truck was the Koran, which he used to do every day while waiting to pick up his son from school.

'He loved to read that book,' Mrs Walker said of the holy text of Islam.

In Iraq my nephew commented on how the terrorists used unwitting mentally retarded people as mules to get bombs in close enough to kill coalition soldiers.... others have noted that the terrorists frequently drug up their suicide bombers.
In the US suicide by cop is a way some folks try to make their problems go away.
