Keith Scott: It makes no sense for police to yell... "DROP THE GUN" if there's no gun

31. Here is an Intercept article that

tracks the position of the object on the ground (the gun). There is probably only a 9 second window to throw a gun down, and the cop in the red would have to have done it.

When I looked at the video I thought I first saw the object at 1:17 of the wife's video. The gunshots were at 1:08. You see the location in the video before the gunshots, and you can't see the object.

The object appears to be in the same location in both the video (with the cop in red standing over/on it), and in the later NBC released photograph. It does appear that Mr. Scott was moved. Look at the distance from the curb to Mr. Scott's feet in both the video and the picture. He could have been moved during treatment and possible preparation for transport before the EMTs concluded that he was dead, and the body and the surrounding area became a crime scene.

So if it is a throw down you would have to accept that the cop in red immediately recognized the error of no gun and had a weapon ready to throw down in 9 seconds. You also would have to accept that the chain of custody would allow the cops to plant fingerprints and DNA on the gun after the shooting with a crowd surrounding the scene (or the crime lab is lying). An interesting question would be if fingerprints are found on the shells in the gun.
