TO BE CLEAR! The suspect WAS armed, and the police officer was BLACK! But the new norm under the Democrats and Democrat controlled cities is? — Rioting Is the New Normal… FACTS BE DAMNED!
Previously I went through the TERENCE CRUTCHER shooting pretty thoroughly. I will not do that here with the Keith Lamont Scott. I wasn’t even going to post on him… but then Hillary inserted herself into the matter before anything was known about the two shootings (much like Obama did with every indecent thus stoking the fires of racial tension).
The above two Tweets are with thanks to YOUNG CONSERVATIVES.
All one need to know about this case is that Scott WAS ARMED, and refused to put the weapon down when commanded. What is the narrative put forward in this case? That Scott was reading and holding a book, not a gun.THE INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW writes that this is NOT the case:
Police were serving a warrant to a different person and reported that Scott exited his car holding a gun and “posed an immediate deadly threat to the officers.” His family disputed the charge — claiming Scott was “carrying a book.”
Wednesday morning, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney confirmed that Scott did indeed have a gun:
- “I can tell you we did not find a book that has been referenced to. We did find a weapon. The weapon was there and witnesses have corroborated it, beyond just the officers.”
Putney also said Scott ignored repeated commands from officers:

So here we are, another shooting justified because of the actions of the perpetrator, and politicians trying to scare voters into voting for them. Without regard for truth or bringing the electorate together… even if it is a smidgen.
Cue the riots (BLUE LIVES MATTER): Riots have begun in the area where the shooting occurred. People are getting assaulted and rioters are looting. More information on the rioting HERE.
