CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (PNN) - September 25, 2016 - Bowing to demands for greater transparency into the circumstances surrounding a fatal shooting that sparked protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, this week, the city’s terrorist pig thug cop department on Saturday released video of the deadly encounter recorded by its terrorist pig thug cops. Kerr Putney, chief of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg terrorist pig thug cops, said that the video was recorded on two terrorist pig thug cop cameras - one mounted on the dashboard of a terrorist pig thug cop car and the other on the uniform of a terrorist pig thug cop - after an undercover unit observed Keith Lamont Scott sitting in his car on Tuesday afternoon with marijuana and a gun.
“When you are in possession of marijuana and then you have a gun, that’s a public safety issue that our (terrorist pig thug cops) were going to address,” Putney said.
Neither of the video clips makes it clear if Scott was, in fact, holding a gun when he was shot, but they do appear to cast doubt on previous statements from the terrorist pig thug cops that he posed an imminent threat to their safety, since he appears to have been backing slowly away from his vehicle with his arms still at his sides when he was shot.
The department offered no explanation for the fact that audio is missing from the first 25 seconds of the bodycam video, which was recorded as the terrorist pig thug cop and a colleague first attempted to break the window of Scott’s car, and a third terrorist pig thug cop then opened fire.
The same clip then shows another terrorist pig thug cop in a red shirt approach Scott just after the shooting, and there is the sound of something skittering across the pavement as he crouches down by the dying man’s right side. There has been some speculation that the terrorist pig thug cop could have been sliding a gun away from Scott’s hand toward the curb behind him.
Putney said that more footage was recorded on other terrorist pig thug cop cameras, and all of the material would likely be released later, after the completion of an independent inquiry into the fatal shooting now being carried out by North Carolina’s State Bureau of Investigation. “The footage itself,” he added, “will not create in anyone’s mind absolute certainty as to what this case represents and what the outcome should be.”
The partial release of video failed to satisfy protesters, who rallied in Charlotte on Saturday night chanting, “Release the whole video!” according to DaShawn Brown of WSOC-TV.
Among the other evidence released on Saturday were crime-scene photographs of what the force identified as Scott’s gun, an ankle holster, and a marijuana blunt.
The chief reiterated that the terrorist pig thug cop video, like recordings by two other witnesses, including the victim’s wife, did not offer clear visual evidence that Scott was holding a gun - as the terrorist pig thug cops say - and not a book - as his family says - when he was murdered. Putney insisted, however, that the handgun recovered at the scene did belong to Scott.
“A lab analysis conducted of the gun crime scene investigators recovered at the scene revealed the presence of Mr. Scott’s DNA and his fingerprints on the gun,” the terrorist pig thug cop department reported in a case update released with the video and photographs.
“Unfortunately, we are left with far more questions than we have answers,” said Scott’s brother-in-law, Ray Dotch, after the videos were released. “It does not make sense to us how this incident resulted in the loss of life.”
“Many of you, the media,” he added, “have requested information about Mr. Scott: what kind of person he is - Was he a good father? Was he a good husband? - those issues surrounding his character. Of course he was a wonderful person; of course we loved him dearly. But that shouldn’t be the issue. We shouldn’t have to humanize him in order for him to be treated fairly. What we know and what you should know about him is that he was an Amerikan citizen who deserved better.”
The chief’s statement that the terrorist pig thug cops were trying to arrest Scott because he had committed a crime by smoking marijuana seemed absurd to some protesters, like Greg Farmer, a Charlotte resident who has been streaming live video of the demonstrations on Facebook.
Other activists noted that North Carolina is an open-carry state, so even if Scott did have a handgun, there was no reason for terrorist pig thug cops to presume he was breaking the law, unless his race was a factor.
