September 28, 20169 yr It all interrelates and shows the guy had a propensity to act the way he did in that situation. Correct. Again, all that matters is what he was doing when he was shot. Nothing else matters. It's just for conversation and explanation. If he didn't have a gun or if he wasn't threatening then the rest doesn't matter. That's my point.
September 28, 20169 yr Another from the "it doesn't matter but it's weird" category. When I first heard the story I thought the guy was in his truck at a school waiting to pick up a family member. Instead, he was in the parking lot of his apartment building as in right outside from where he lives. Why was he just sitting in his truck in his own lot? Strange.
September 28, 20169 yr The rest just tells us the family was misleading us but, in the end, immaterial. It is immaterial to whether the police acted properly but I don't understand the desire to paint a picture in a false manner to the public. It hurts more than helps and in a lot of people's minds the rioting and looting was started over a lie. It hurts protesting over real legitimate concerns and that bothers me more than anything else in these situations. In all of these BLM debates people love to mention Mike Brown and now soon they'll mention Charlotte. All that does is ruin debates about Baton Rouge, Minnesota, Baltimore, Eric Garner and others. They aren't helping the cause by being misleading.

Don't you think this falls into the category with Mike Brown? If not, why?
September 28, 20169 yr You keep mentioning Baltimore PP92. Half of the officers were found not guilty and the rest of them had the charges dismissed. Don't you think this falls into the category with Mike Brown? If not, why? No. I'll never be convinced those cops don't know what happened to him while in their custody. Can it be proven? Nope. It is next to impossible to prove a cop had ill intent when bad incidents take place.
November 30, 20169 yr I don't think this is a surprise but no charges for the officer. Keith Lamont Scott killing: No charges against officer, DA says - CNN.com
