The video, posted on the newspaper’s website Friday, was recorded by the wife of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott. The 2 ½ minute video does not show the shooting, though gunshots can be heard. Before gunfire erupts, police repeatedly tell Scott to drop a gun.
His wife tells officers at the scene repeatedly that he doesn’t have a gun and that he has a traumatic brain injury. At one point, she tells him to get out of the car so that police don’t break the windows. As the encounter escalates, she tells them repeatedly: “You better not shoot him.”
After the gunshots are heard, Scott can be seen laying on the ground while his wife says “he better live.”
Isn’t it time to ban guns? so police don’t have to be so scared while approaching anyone? I promise you that Police in Europe are much calmer on their job.
To be fair to the police, she didn’t say that he has Traumatic Brain Injury, she said TBI, which probably 95% people have no clue what this is.
drop the weapon , means drop tbe weapon or else!!!!!
murder
He has a TBI with significant damage that he can’t follow police instructions, but he has a drivers license. That doesn’t add up.
