In reply to the discussion: I think video shows the gun was not planted [View all]uponit7771
(93,530 posts)43. OK, saw the analysis and the vids uncut... still going with a throw down for one simple reason
... the LEO in the red kicks a gun away.
I'm NOT giving them the BOTD that the gun was NOT... NOT planted BEFORE the kick.
I understand some are going to give the CPD the benefit but I'm not for two OBJECTIVE... OBJECTIVE rational reasons
1. The citizens of a large city like CLT don't blow up like this because they have little else to do... it's usually because of a history of oppression
2. The NEEDLESS clamming up of CPD EXCEPT ... EXCEPT for anything that supports their narrative, they've been pretty open with that information.
Also
3. One or two of the eye witness's say Scott had a book
The CPD is being shady as it is, they've OBJECTIVELY... OBJECTIVELY not earned the BOTD on this shooting imho

Did you even look at the screenshots and compare them to the times in the video?

Agree - you can see he MOVES his foot and you can see the gun - it has been there since

Yes - if you play the OP video full screen and pause it around 1:21, you can adv/rev by second.

Understood. Though now I get a better understanding over why they don't just "release the video"

Cause they had possession of the victim and the weapon? I see you're implicitly giving them the BOTD

It could NOT have been pointing the gun at the LEO's seeing the Chief said that's not what happened.

But the whole "he had a gun" just excuses his shooting in too many peoples' minds. I don't care

I mostly agree but say he did have a gun, it doesn't support the CPD's story FROM THE START...

What on earth makes you think, if that is the gun, that red shirt didn't remove it from his ankle?
