Did you seriously type this out and think it made sense?
I am pretty sure he meant what law did he break for the cops to roll up on him with guns already drawn?

Chief's press release lays out why happened
2 plain clothes officers in unmarked unit were parked getting ready to go serve a warrant
Guys pulls up next to them and starts rolling a joint. Officers didn't care. The warrant was their main priority
Then the guy pulls out his gun and they now see a guy smoking out with a gun out next to them
He then became their priority
Smoking pot is a crime so that's one
But more than likely, South Carolina has a law similar to LA that makes it a felony for you have guns and drugs in your possession at the same time

Ah, Gotcha. This may add more questions, since nether video shows him holding a gun (not saying he was not or was; videos are poor). Did they just assume he had a gun still in his hand because they saw him fiddle with it in the car? Have the police released a picture of the gun on the ground, rather than a pic of it already picked up and laid out?

The issue is that the left has no solutions, so the right has to take a tough on crime stance to keep thugs like, Keith Scott in check.
No the left offers solutions, such as better training and more restraint, even too much restraint. The too much restraint is down right silly, just as are the right's solutions of a police state or comply or die

I thought I could kinda see a gun in the dashcam vid. When he gets out of the truck, his left hand goes in front of the door and I thought I could make out what possibly could be a gun.
I haven't seen any pics of the gun on the ground but I was hoping we would see that in the video.

ANY movement by, Keith, that didn't involve releasing his grip on the weapon can be construed as an imminent threat. The police officers did the right thing.
I agree 100%. Just wish the vids were clear the gun in hand. As I see it now, it appears justified.

I've never really doubted this one, but the Oklahoma one is another story.

Facts:
Guy on PCP, tells people his car is going to explode after parking it in the middle of the street. Ignores multiple orders to get on the ground, then walks back to his vehicle and proceeds to reach into the vehicle through the window.
Is it your opinion that the officers should have waited to get shot or blown up?

No sense in pretending that race baiters need a logical reason to riot and loot.

The government will never let the market create the solution when it comes to cops/military policy. The government needs to maintain it's monopoly on violence to stay in control.
Posted on 9/26/16 at 4:06 am to LSUTANGERINE
How about we have competition in the marketplace wrt to private corporations doing the policing? The government will never let it happen.

I have to ask myself in these situations though, was there a chance they could've just used a taser from behind? They had him surrounded, he was just standing there. I agree he didn't comply, but isn't that the point of them having tasers? For a less deadly solution?

I love the people, not necessarily you in this instance, who say the police planted the gun or that he had a book and not a gun. Explain to me then why he was wearing an ankle holster? The police put the holster on his leg after shooting him? Convenient that the media hasn't talked much about this.

The cops saw his gun, are you honestly telling me that you personally would pull a taser in a gun fight? I mean seriously? Don't give the BS about cops needing to be better trained, there is absolutely no training in this world in which we should ask someone to pull a taser in a gun fight.
It looked to me like in the Wife's video, you could see the gun on the ground to the right of Scott?
Again, the picture of the gun was taken on the ground and the hammer was cocked. So I'm taking it that he had the gun in his hand, cocked, and ready to fire when he was shot.

I'm no fan of these animals rioting however that looks like murder to me. I don't care if he had weed on him or not, and even if he did have a handgun he was not attempting to use it.
Do they not teach intent, capability and opportunity at Police Academy anymore??

If you choose to not comply with police officers who have weapons drawn on you, there isn't much opportunity for a less lethal outcome. Doubly so when you are holding a lethal weapon in your hand while blatantly failing to comply. If he was holding a stick (or even a book) he would probably be alive. A gun? Nah.
