Why did Keith Scotts family lie about the gun? [View all] Lee-Lee Sep 2016 OP

People who lie are as bad as people who kill? CBGLuthier Sep 2016 #1

They kept insisting there was no gun- yet there is one Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #2

We have the BLM protesting about bad police shootings. Cases like this doc03 Sep 2016 #8

But if people don't BURN DOWN THE CITY in protest... TheDebbieDee Sep 2016 #26

Match up such "protests" with actual data. Igel Sep 2016 #53

I didn't see a gun, it's still unclear. And an ankle booster is not a gun uppityperson Sep 2016 #27

What is an "ankle booster"? nt B2G Sep 2016 #28

It's an autocorrect typo which should read "holster". At one point my machine autocorrected every uppityperson Sep 2016 #30

Yes because people were very uncomfortable holsters for no reason Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #31

An ankle holster is not a gun. He may have a gun somewhere, but a holster is not a gun. uppityperson Sep 2016 #32

True but it pretty much defies belief that he was just wearing one for fun. Egnever Sep 2016 #75

It's an open carry state. Or is that just for whites? brush Sep 2016 #85

What does that have to do with my post? Egnever Sep 2016 #112

Everything. brush Sep 2016 #116

My post only addressed the believability of having an ankle holster and no gun Egnever Sep 2016 #117

And you believe that has nothing to do with the escalation of the situation? brush Sep 2016 #125

Again I said nothing about any of that Egnever Sep 2016 #128

Are you purposely forgeting that NC is an open carry state? Or is that just for whites? brush Sep 2016 #84

The problem with that scenario is, HE isn't supposed to have a gun. Color didn't matter. tonyt53 Sep 2016 #91

The problem with your scenario is that the cops didn't know that brush Sep 2016 #111

+1, nor did they know he was rolling a joint vs a cigarette. He was rolling a joint is a bulllshit uponit7771 Sep 2016 #158

I have already explained it in several posts Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #96

Totality of the circumstances. Right. A black guy sitting in his car waiting to pick up his kid . . brush Sep 2016 #114

He pulled up next to a police car and started rolling a joint with a gun visible waiting for his kid Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #169

Acordding to the LEO there was no questioning, he saw a gun and attempted to break the window with uponit7771 Sep 2016 #159

According to the report he saw guns and drugs together Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #165

The LEO had no evidence that what Scott had was drugs vs tabacco and in court the LEO would be uponit7771 Sep 2016 #172

Seeing someone rolling something to smoke and a gun together is enough reasonable suspicion in NC. Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #178

This is false on its face, Scott could've been rolling a cigarette... its a reason to maybe question uponit7771 Sep 2016 #179

why, what is the relationship? treestar Sep 2016 #198

An ankle holster is not open carry but concealed carry....requires a permit. EX500rider Sep 2016 #118

He was sitting in his car waiting to pick up his kid, not doing anything to anybody brush Sep 2016 #122

Then how did the LEO see the holster seeing he was sitting in his SUV!? Again, the LEOs account is uponit7771 Sep 2016 #173

Then all he had to do was drop the gun Egnever Sep 2016 #119

Do you know they were on an entirely different call? brush Sep 2016 #124

I know more about this than I ever wanted to know. Egnever Sep 2016 #131

On another call in their cars but just happened to notice what was going on in his car? O-k-a-a-a-y. brush Sep 2016 #133

A good cop should remain oblivious to the world around them? FrodosPet Sep 2016 #137

Someone made the point I think in this thread Egnever Sep 2016 #139

I was wrong Egnever Sep 2016 #143

Yes, according to the Chief the LEO got out of his car and looked into Scott's window and now uponit7771 Sep 2016 #161

I can agree with that treestar Sep 2016 #199

And you know they know he had a gun? brush Sep 2016 #80

I don't think the open carry thing works. Egnever Sep 2016 #126

People ARE dead and injured jack_krass Sep 2016 #58

So the cops get to be judge, jury, and executioner? And you're cool with that? NightWatcher Sep 2016 #3

Obviously that's not even an honest assessment Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #14

Scenarios like this have played out several times now, and they've turned BLM into a joke. Marr Sep 2016 #7

It certainly harms the credibility of activists who back that story Lee-Lee Sep 2016 #11

The rest of America knows blacks get treated different and some people will excuse anything uponit7771 Sep 2016 #168

Well, this LEO had x ray vision so they can of course see the gun through the window and Scott's leg uponit7771 Sep 2016 #175

Because they were distraught over seeing their father/husband shot down? Yo_Mama Sep 2016 #39
