What was "keith, don't do it" about?

My thoughts too. If she said he didn't have a gun, then why was she screaming so adamantly and with worry in her voice "don't you do it". Seems like she knew he had a weapon and knew which direction things were about to go.


Indeed, she already came out right off with the ol' "he didn't do nothing" non-sense excuse. I am so sure he was just totally innocent in this. And of course he could have been sitting there wide open with a gun and she still probably would have been saying he didn't have a gun...credibility issues are rife with her.

I hate it that a man lost his life, but how many times do the cops have to tell you to drop the gun? Seems to me like he was looking for trouble. I know one thing, if I have a bunch of cops pointing guns at me, I'm going to do what the hell they say.


I hear you. If you are able to fully comply.. then do it. It's not worth it to not.. I don't care if the cop is an ahole, just get through it.. even suck up if you have to.. because ultimately it's just not worth it otherwise.

However, not everyone may be able to fully comply.. whether it's physical or mental.. (again this is rare but it happens) I like to know was he on some sort of medication that was causing a reaction or a delayed response or odd behavior..

If he's in the car, by himself, there's really no one else around and his wife is pleading out there.

Why not have his wife go to his vehicle (if she isn't afraid to) and try to get a hold of him or the situation. Why didn't she just go in there and try to get a hold him. Heck, give her a pair of handcuffs to secure the man.

I'm just wondering.. if I had a family member, who may be influenced by drugs (not even illegal but prescription) and they are acting funny which may cause a fatal reaction by the police.. how about I plead to let me go get him safely out in plain view.. IDK.. They can even pat me down or frisk me first.

I don't know. I'm always grasping at alternatives.

At least she's well spoken. But this kind of reaction is to be expected after a tragedy, it's the five stages of grief:

1. Anger
2. Belligerence
3. Animosity
4. Curse Words
5. Anger again

If you're a cop it's going to get to the point where it's not worth it to even try to enforce the law. If you have to patrol the ghetto and see someone getting gang raped, oh well she shouldn't have been outside.

She has one hell of an attitube for someone's who's husband just got shot. And that's one really calm, cool and collected reaction...like she was hearing cha ching as soon as her noncomplying husband got shot.

They ask him to drop the gun about 15 times


I hate it for the dude, his family and the city of Charlotte - but I don't know what else the brother could have done.

"Sir, for the 16th time, please drop the motherfrickin' gun, or I will have no choice but to shoot you."

first thing...I have enjoyed your posts the last month or two...

B.)]} I believe he was a convicted felon and should not have had a gun. Perhaps he knew that he was going back to the Crossbar Hotel? Perhaps Jemima KNEW his level of desperation and thought he was going to do what he did...

3--Even though I am in Charlotte I have no particular insight into this latest attempt at whitewash...just guess working

Also, what was it that she didn't want Keith to do? How many times do the police officers have to tell someone to drop their weapon/item? I mean, just fricking listen.

This is what worries me. Who in their right mind wants this job now? Plus, the ones already hired may start ignoring crimes in "the community." In ten years we will be hearing about how racist cops won't patrol or protect black neighborhoods which is the same shite we heard in the late 80s and early 90s.

Wait, was there a gun in the car or not?

And I agree that this doesn't look good for the "victim." Not sure why the families lawyer would release it. The wife begging him "don't do it" is pretty convincing evidence that he was doing something he shouldn't have been doing.
