90% of homicides of a black victim were committed by a black assailant. But it's much easier to focus attention/point the finger at someone else.

i wonder why the book wasn't found but a gun was.

Exactly. Was the Quran found or not? Or was that just another inflammatory bit of fuel placed on the fire.

Also to the PP. What does that have to do with anything? He clearly had a gun, which was illegal for a felon to possses. He was clearly doing something his wife was telling him not to do.

Yea gun was found
Just like that female cop in ga that said a black man shit her
Just like the cop in St. Louis who planted the gun and said he was going to kill the suspect before he shot him
Just like Holtzclaw
Yea cops NEVER do anything wrong
The police depts never hire idiots and fail to train them
Never happens

Why is it that just because a few cops are untrained/malicious does that make EVERY case in which a black man is shot premeditated murder? There are millions of interactions every day with the police. Truly bad shootings on their part are very rare.

Why can't you concede that yea, looking at the evidence here, Mr Scott likely caused his own death?

He had a gun. He was a convicted felon. He had shot someone before. He didn't comply with officers.

Seriously how else is this case supposed to be viewed.

What he did BEFORE that day is irrelevant
And who says the gun was his, the cops ?
I do not necessarily believe them . So yea!

If cops called in his license plate and knew he was found criminally guilty of shooting another person, that might affect their judgment.

Or maybe not. I'm not an Internet tough guy like some of you. But I really want to go home to see my family at the end of every day.

You're making up what happened they didn't run his license plate they were in the middle of looking for someone else what story are you following?
This is a man with a traumatic brain injury not Jesse James !!

Yeah, but his boss said he was good at following directions. It's just that he refused to comply with police instructions to drop his gun - even though the command was issued a dozen times. If he had done as instructed, he'd be alive today.

Also, this is a bit of an aside, but while every loss of life is tragic, why do people have more compassion for an ex-felon who got himself shot by brandishing a gun and refusing to drop it than they do for the five truly innocent people just killed at the shopping mall in Washington? One was a 16-year-old girl who had survived cancer. Where's the outrage there?

Where are the riots for all the children shot in chicago this year?

I agree. There have been some horrible cases in which a child catches a stray bullet, and barely a mention on the news. It seems all the outrage is reserved for cases where a cop shoots a black man.

"only a small number of the shootings — roughly 5 percent — occurred under the kind of circumstances that raise doubt and draw public outcry, according to an analysis by The Washington Post. The vast majority of individuals shot and killed by police officers were, like Snyder, armed with guns and killed after attacking police officers or civilians or making other direct threats."

In a strongly worded letter, the head of Dallas' Black Police Association said police brutality against unarmed men has become an "epidemic."

"There is an epidemic of unarmed black men being shot by police officers. It is so pervasive, if not checked it will soon rise to levels exceeded only by lynchings, and slavery...It is time to jog our consciousness and stop this epidemic from spreading; we cannot continue to have innocent lives lost."

Maybe the outrage is tempered by expectations.
Maybe people don't expect the average idiot with a gun to respect human life but they naturally expect supposedly trained professionals assigned to serve and protect to be less trigger happy.

With very few exceptions most of these cops have not been trigger happy. They are reacting to someone with a weapon who is not complying with their orders.

My expectations is that are trained professionals assigned to serve and protect do just that which includes making sure someone misusing, illegally owning or brandishing a weapon is not a danger to the public.

Truth

Unfortunately BLM and those who would riot like they did in Charlotte want you to believe something else.

That is incredibly offensive.

That man should be removed as head of that association.

To compare the current issue to lynchings and slavery? That is an outrage and a slap in the face to every african american who ever faced such atrocity.

Disgusting!

Except this particular case - the Scott case - it doesn't appear the cops were trigger-happy. They were dealing with an ex-felon who refused to drop his weapon, despite bring ordered to 12 times. They did not act impulsively. Sorry, but this was the wrong case to riot over - just like the Michael Brown case.

Actually, I think the percentages are something like 94% for blacks and 86% for whites. In terms of interracial crime, it's almost exclusively black on white.

Police said the officers, who were in street clothes, went to another location and put on vests that identified them as police.

When they came back they ordered Scott to drop his gun. A uniformed officer who had arrived tried to break a window with his baton. Scott then got out of the car, a police statement said. Officers continued to yell at him to drop a gun before Vinson fired."

Drugs + gun = felony, so they couldn't just ignore it.

Thank you. I've read a lot but missed that detail.
I had also read once about the wife being out of the car. But can't find it now. I mean, I've seen her video, but where did Scott drive from? When did she get out if the car? Also, their daughter was there too right? I saw her video including the one with the moment she found out he had died. I'm just curious about the full timeline. Why he was in the car, and they were out.

You aren't making any sense. Terrorists don't care about your color just that you are an American.

Also you make want to look at some statistics. And keep in mind whites make up 63% of the population vs 13% for blacks.

“Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.”

“When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.”

“Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.”

“Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.”

“Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.”

“Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.”

Here is the thing. This is an active investigation. What if there is a trial? How would a jury be found when everyone has already played prosecutor, jury and judge?
