actual gun to highlight the gloves, but hey...they are "video experts".

Noticed they also didn't pick up on that Scott is about 3 feet closer to the shadow from the white truck in the final still photo, then when the glove thing was going on.

won’t release the police video of the shooting.

That in itself builds distrust and suspicion in the system, and opens everything to speculation, and actually increases the risk of more violence

This man should never have been shot IMHO even if he had a gun. There was no reason to make it into a life or death situation. He was contained in his car until they ordered him out.

Still this hatchet job by MSNBC is so fucking irresponsible I am spitting right now.

The cops are not helping even a little by holding that video. Not that it is necessary in my opinion the wifes video shows pretty clearly what happened where the gun is concerned.

So, what exactly is America's position on guns?
The NRA and GOP insist that everybody should have the be armed. Yet they also insist that if someone does in fact have a gun, they should be shot.
If "laws" only apply to certain races, it should be stated in the "law" itself. They have created a web of violence, deceit, and even murder just because the NRA gives them money to run their bullshit campaigns.
We are a "country of laws" but we don't have any idea what the "laws" are, or we don't care. If someone isn't bound by the "law", that should be stated in the "law". If theiy violate the "law" they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the "law".
Or, is the master NRA plan that we are in a constant game of shoot 'em up?
America has lost the courage to even discuss this honestly.
Good job, GOP cowards.

My personal opinion is ban all of them but I recognize people want to hunt and target shoot. There has to be a happy medium somewhere that would remove the crazy plethora of them we have now and still leave people able to sport shoot.

I don't care if Mr. Scott had a gun he did not deserve to be shot by the police.

I do care that a narrative in this case is being spun that the cops planted the gun. While people might still be rioting regardless with good justification. Creating dangerous narratives like that only serves to make it more dangerous for everyone in my opinion.

spinning it as a definitive look that makes it appear the gun is planted with video cuts almost precisely where the gun appears only makes matters worse especially when it is so clearly not true.

and shoot him?

I haven't looked closely at the videos, mainly because it doesn't really matter to me whether he had a gun unless he saw a police car, jumped out of his truck and aimed it at police -- but nothing remotely like that happened. Even it did, there are too many cases where police just shoot an unarmed minority with no consequences.

And, no, I don't hate police. My father-in-law was a policeman and I even road with him a few times. I get it's a tough job and sometimes you have to shoot or be a little rough. But what we are seeing now, is something totally different.
