The narrative has changed in the police shooting of Charlotte resident Keith Lamont Scott after police provided video of the shooting to his family.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg NAACP President Minister Corine Mack says it doesn’t matter if Scott had a gun in his hand when he was gunned down by police.
Scott’s death sparked 2 days of rioting, looting, and violence in Charlotte, N.C.
“In my mind, and in most of the community’s mind, it really doesn’t matter if he had a gun,” said Mack in an interview broadcast on Thursday’s CNN Newsroom.
“At the end of the day we have the right under the Second Amendment to carry here in North Carolina. And their responsibility was to engage him in a more de-escalated way, to find out if he had a permit for his gun, and allow him to go on his merry way, and he would still be living today. That’s not what happened. And so, I don’t want anyone to walk away from this conversation today thinking that a video showing he had a gun in any way says that he was guilty of anything.”
A state of emergency was declared and the National Guard was deployed in Charlotte following a 2nd night of rioting and looting there.
One man was shot Wednesday night. He is listed in critical condition at a hospital.
Apparently his life doesn’t matter, since he wasn’t shot by a police officer.
Sick of this mess. All this is doing is giving air time to a bunch of illiterate gang members with handkerchiefs on their faces from Walmart to be on television and throw up a 3 finger gang sign.
I’m so sick of these crackas and the coons that ride with them..?
North Carolina is open carry, but i think mecklenburg county has an ordinance against it tho…funny thing is that when its your time to go, nothing you do will stop it and everything will fall into place, no matter how much sense it doesn’t make
NC is open-carry?
Where’s @Inco-knee-gress and @B.Sweet with her petty self selling personalized wares (that shall not be named) out of her desk?
She’s right. NC is an open-carry state, so, if he had a gun and it wasn’t a threat to the cop, he should’ve been left the hell alone.
Regarding those non-peaceful protesters, I think they are plants. I say that because their faces are hidden. I do not believe they are a part of the “real” protestors.
I’d advise anyone living in these neighborhoods to go live in a shelter in a better neighborhood until your placed..cause ain’t no way me and mines would live in any of these hoods willingly?

My family member’s friend lives right near where this took place, and she’s fine.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ballistics were done already?? We know conclusively that he was not shot by a cop?? Oh, ok.
I’m not even addressing the first part of the sentence because I just can’t.

That was my first thought when I heard the news that one “protester” shot another.

This is draining. Char-LIT was off the chain the other night. I was up watching LIVE half the night. Shaka Zulu Millz was dudes live I was on. #howmanymore
You think most ppl that live in the hood live there willingly ?
Where are the two Ms. “What Has The NAACP done” at today? From the post yesterday? Bc without Corine Mack pushing we would still be damn waiting on the police tape. Her and Bree Newsome pushed for it to be released. Not the governor. Not anyone of power here in this state.
I asked this yesterday and I will ask this again today.
Does the video show them talking to the cops? The cops asking him a question? Was the gun loaded? Did he point it at the cops or was it just in his hand? Did they say ANYTHING to him? Did they ever find the man they WERE looking for?
thats cuz they was vandalizing his arena + getting too close to the hornets team store and them jordans

Police chief: Video provides no ‘definitive’ evidence that victim pointed gun before officer shot him
I AM CRYINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
What bothers me most is everytime an innocent brother is executed, we are faced with ridicule about senseless violence, and murders in our communities. As if the fact that we are killing each other minimizes the blow, of being murder by those who has taken an oath to protect us through our own tax dollars. Our problems are eluctable yet we seem to be in a quandary we have to find a resolution to our own situation while continuing to fight for justice, and equality.

………
WOW! ???
Some ppl don’t know how to separate things ?
?? I fell out when I saw this
http://youtu.be/XV5kS8Ed5N4
Im stealing this ???
Girl!!
You bored huhn?!
What hoods?
I luh you !! Thank for the link too!
Sits down beside you to wait to find out what hoods we tambout here…
North Carolina is a traditional open carry state. You MAY open carry in a motor vehicle. However, localities may regulate the carrying of firearms under certain circumstances. I only know because I was wondering and looked it up.
Free for all baby!!!!
Of course we are open carry all these damn hunting ass rednecks around here. We are what is called a “traditional” open carry state.
They always want to flip the script to distract from the real issue. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE???
The life of a terrorist is more valuable than an American citizen?
yeah i heard about that but I think he was more so talking about them crap rappers, not the NYC, ATL, Texas, FL, Cali hip hop Kings
Chapel Hill (home of UNC) is one of the towns off the top of my head that regulates it.
He DISPLAYED a gun….NOT AIMED it!! Imma leave it at that.
Did they ask him if he was licensed to carry? I am still trying to figure out why a man who was there to pick up his son would do this……..and I have determined that he didn’t….so what happened? And the witness said he exited the car once and asked them, what was the problem. So did they approach him….seems the officer who shot him was the only one who wasn’t wearing her camera. Really???!!
Apparently isn’t the answer any more…CLEARLY is the new answer to that question.
If a man can bomb two states, go on a shooting spree with cops, and still live?! This man was waiting for his kids to get off the bus, and decided THAT was the time to shoot at cops?! Plus, reports say the cops were plainclothes.
But Chapel Hill is Sc tho right I use to live in Charlotte went to JC Smith I remeber that lil dusty town like yesterday wow time files.
Well, we did have to fight to even be considered humans ..I honestly wonder do ppl REALLY realize & understand that ..the Jews , the Indians , the gays none of these ppl have had to fight to be seen as human …they Dont consider us citizens when my state flooded we were labeled refugees …
Reports sure did say that, which may be why he would have grabbed his gun, if he had one. Supposedly she was wearing the CMPD vest over her clothing, but conveniently forgot her body camera.
Don King azz!!!
they downtown by the epicenter, light rail, and the TWC arena..aint no hoods uptown no more since they debo’d the wards from the hood folk.
Grabs a chair and a glass of wine.
I got jalepeno Kettle chips.
Charlotte Meck was trying I do know to limit open carry at one time. Back in 2005-2006ish. When our quack ass NOW govenor was the MAYOR of Charlotte. I dont know if the law ever got changed there tho. I swear I dont recall.
SO, as a concealed weapon and permit holder, if im approached and i tell and show the officer i have a weapon and before the words its concealed comes out my mouth, im shot dead, thats justifiable??
Let’s not forget the fact they were serving a warrant on an entirely different person.
You showl right. N.O. had refugees not evacuees.
I’m starting to feel some type of way about this ish.
Chapel Hill is NC.
Jus because you live in the hood, dont mean you pose as a threat to the community or surrounding counties man…
I love you back!
yeah i remember folk were complaining about out of town people walking around open carry during some event years ago…i figured he had changed the law after that
Right …mfs always talking abt the progress or how far we’ve came but man they have been denying us basic not civil , basic fuking human rights for centuries ….I guess you gotta really be looked at as a American citizen to be able to have due process ….
when my state flooded we were labeled refugees …
===============
I used to correct folks each and every time they referred to those who were displaced because of Katrina as refugees. That burned my biscuits like no other.
Whoa! Now if he had a gun that changes things. Ya’ll were saying he had a book. You can’t pull a gun out on the po-po. They want to go home to their families as well.
I wish some of these LEADERS would organize peaceful protest with the nation of someone working as security. And then after that organize a Black Dollars Campaign to keep money in OUR community!! How sway can our leaders not do this???
“So poor, so Black,” said Wolf Blitzer.
It was CIAA. The first year it left here and went to Charlotte.
It’s apparently only open-carry if you’re of a certain hue. If you’re not, then it’s open season on your ass and it’s a “justifiable” kill.
No they do not know. I live here in Charlotte and supposedly it was a police officer that shot that guy last night but they’re covering it up. Just like they’re covering up the fact that it was a white police officer that shot Keith Lamont Scott but they’re telling the world that it was a black officer.
Oh I ain’t forget, but I am enjoying poking holes in the story they want to run with.

Black you jus now feeling some type way??? I’ve been trying my best not to KNOCK a bia out since Katrina ?
Wish I could upvote you 25 times.
Castille told officer he had a gun and was getting his permit to show it was legit and…………………………………………..
i jus want to know, if the police were there to serve a warrant to a unrelated person than in this matter, how is it that they came across the victim, who was sitting in his car? even if he did have a weapon, what made them pull up on him if he wasnt even the intended retainee for the warrant…i dont understand this..
Or a Jewish lawyer.
thats what im saying..they are not even giving folk a chance to show they are LEGALLY able to carry a weapon..same with the tulsa shooting, they say the guy was reaching in his car but how and the windows were up?
Sandra, your comparing trained authority figures to a everday civilians, is like liberal politicians claiming trannys and women are one and the same and should be treated the same….
I’ve had feelings before… But it’s reaching a f**k-ah-ninja up level.
Getting a lawyer would mean that you would first have to make it into booking ..
*Church runs around the blog*
that must be what it was. couldn’t remember exactly what, hearing it second hand from folk
What leaders??? That’s the problem.
Changes NOTHING in an open carry state and they still have not explained why he DISPLAYED the weapon when he was waiting for his son like he does everyday.
I was immediately skeptical when they said the protestor was shot by another protestor. You go in predom white comment sections and they believe every fukcing word the cops tell the media and try to run us in the ground behind it. Po-Po have ALWAYS lied to cover their dirt, but crakkas can’t see that. It’s amazing how these ignorant, hateful commenters can twist the shyt to suit their perspective. Makes me so sad. Sandra’s supposed point of view also makes me sad … and angry.
They not even getting Miranda rights.
Thank you!! I jts watched the video of what happened after the shooting and it was ALL WHITE cops at the scene, moving around. And the only black cop….did not have a camera!!
Shoot…..you gotta make it to the back of the cop car in most cases…in some case, you gotta hope you get Miranda rights!!
blocking this stupidity. “go live in a shelter in a better neighborhood until your (sic) placed.” WTF are you talking about? Shelter in a “better neighborhood”? “until your (sic) placed”? WTF???? “Placed” where? By whom?
Gotcha. Wait. Traditional?! Is it on the books? Can folk protest about land like they’re in Wyoming and not be capped?
What about the Terence Crutcher shooting, not the protest… where’s that post??? The killer cop changed her story this morning.
Thanks. I couldn’t look it up at the time…
Ok…That’s a lie. I didn’t FEEL like looking it up at the time.
Nevermind. I see another reply. Thanks.
What are the odds that your husband is in a copter that is taping you at that moment? And she was on a call about a domestic dispute………why did she go there and what happened to the victims of the domestic dispute?
Was were you asking a stranding civil to put his hands up?
Tell me about it. Well, we’ll never find the answer on this blog unless it’s in the comments. LOL
The biggest problem is that we just saw a “terrorist” get taken into custody ALIVE. That’s the problem. We have seen more dangerous men get captured who actually were putting up a fight.
And then these cops are suppose to be trained to on how to get with dangerous situation. The cops are doing way too much smh. If they are that scary them they shouldn’t be doing a job that requires them to protect the people they are killing. smh smh smh.,
So yea… so yea it doesn’t matter if he had a gun…They should know how to work through that without anyone having to lose their life.

What did she say, I’ve been trying not to watch. My pressure going up.
If they azzes can take down some one with possibly another bomb and a host of weapons to have a shoot out with……yeah EXACTLY
Thanks??????Just asked my sorority sister what was the lil dusty town we got lost in leaving Carowinds she said it was called Rock hill lol
They’re investigating whether the police shot the protester. It’s not clear where the shot came from.
If the officers were in plain clothes, he may not have none what kind of angry mob of whites were running up on him. Free your mind.
Exactly…
Child when I tell you Idc about what these yt folks choose to believe….
Her husband was the one that was filming above?
The news claimed it was another protester. It sounds like the police department has been made privy to some damning evidence (recording, perhaps?) and is trying to cover tracks.
This is my stance from day one on it-
Even if he had a gun, this is an open carry state. Legally he had the right to carry it out in the open and if he didn’t have a concealed carry permit he had no choice but to. So what exactly was he supposed to do with the gun when he was approached, by a plainclothes officer at that? I guarantee some of the same people screaming about the right to bear arms are the same ones condemning this man. Dear white people, we have the right to bear arms as well, signed “the blacks”. But nobody wants to point that fact out.
My co-worker & I were just discussing how in Cali there was an incident where a white guy pointed a gun to the police and they shot him with bean bags. He’s still alive, of course..
Hey now I lived there for 3 years and I miss it terribly..lol
I know that in one of these protests,, they actual caught a cop trying to start stuff. Like I think he was trying to damage or get people to do something. And they ended up stopping him and he was like he was a cop. lol
Wouldn’t be surprised if one was planted in there as a protester and shot somebody.
Can’t trust nothing now.
” It’s not clear where the shot came from. ”
It’s funny though, because last night the police were quick to announce that the protester was not shot by a police officer. In fact they made a point of getting that info out almost immediately
But but they said there were several uniformed officers close to her and they were wearing theirs.
But the Head Negro in Charge said that the video is inconclusive?
Why don’t they release the video and let the public decide if it’s ‘inconclusive’.
I was referring to the info about her husband being in the police chopper.
Oh, I thought her dumb behind changed her story.
It would have been the same if he didn’t have a gun. It was cold blooded murder. Every time we leave our homes we are in danger of being mowed down by the people who are paid with our tax dollars to protect us.
Yup. The one saying, “looks like a bad dude”, “probably on something.”
One man was shot Wednesday night. He is listed in critical condition at a hospital.
Apparently his life doesn’t matter, since he wasn’t shot by a police officer.
–
EVERYBODY THAT WAS ON THE GROUND IS SAYING THAT HE WAS INDEED SHOT BY POLICE.
I like to watch the enemy and, boy, do they give you plenty to watch. Then I come out to save my sanity. It’s just amazing that black/white folks can be so far apart in the way we view things. Fascinating, in a way.
???Sorry we got lost there one night I was spooked… I couldn’t get back to WT Harris quick enough honey.
They usually do if they’re not automatically cleared, so stay tuned.
This BS has building up for a long time. The plan is in effect and they are carrying out the command to execute us. They have tried some of everything to exterminate us – they haven’t been able to do it so they have reverted to execution style.
I’m so sick of us the AA male as being the dumbest race of men in the United States. For the most part AA males are the dumbest race of men in the United States because they keep getting themselves caught up a justice system that allegedly don’t treat us fairly. What wrong with working hard, pay taxes, donkey style your wife in the morning and evening and, enjoy your freedom?
Like I’m just not convinced that people are just so reckless and go that hard… that these police feel like they have to shoot them…
I saw that there are over 900,000 sworn officers in the US and that 123 officers got killed in 2015. So that’s like a less than a 1% chance that they will get killed out in these streets… Which means that people aint going that damn hard that they gotta be trigger happy.
It is said he was the “commentator”, which is why he got excited and said….”Oh, yeah he has his hands up now”
Why would a stranded civilian need to have his hands up? Where was the drive way that they originally said he was blocking and was the reason for the call?
Yep now they scrambling to put together a story.
They took extra care to keep the terrorist alive but when it comes to black men they assume they are guilty of something so no extra care is ever used to keep him alive .. Its a story that is getting old and its time to end all this BS and use the same care and patience for everybody not just non minorities and terrorist !!
I read that none of the officers have body cams, even though they were instructed to start wearing them last December.
Exactly. Our eyes must be wide open to see beyond what they show.
It would have made more sense to admit that they were “investigating the shooting and had no further information at this time.” If they come back now and admit that it was a police involved incident they have no credibility and rightfully so.
Tulsa needs to be protesting as well, Oklahoma been having a lot of these racial incidents for a while now, from the man that was paralyzed in jail and left to starve to death, to the “volunteer” cop that shot that man etc. OK way to quiet.
very true indeed. its sad that history has repeated itself cuz some blacks so pressed out here asserting that it aint no more racism…. cuz they got a lil dough and some nice digs..smh they gone learn
They won’t come back and say that. They’ll find a flunky to pin it on
Somewhere across town jerome is selling dogfood to suzy to buy them new jays
People are pointing out that he had the right to bear arms…..that will not be disputed….except by the people who are trying to justify what cannot be justified.
Oh, now they’re showing video instead of HIDING it and lying because now they think they can justify shooting this guy, huh? FOH.
They are deaf, dumb and blind – no hope for them.
It bothers the helI out of me too. For the fittyleventh time – we expect criminals to break laws, not the law enforcers!
It bothers the helI out of me too. For the fittyleventh time – we expect criminals to break laws, not the law enforcers!
She’s at it again. Smh
She’s at it again. Smh
Shenanigans
The story looks like a pair of fishnet stockings at this point
The terrorist lives but the Dallas shooter got blown up by a flucking robot bomb. I just can’t get over that. Now police departments have started green-lighting the use of weapon equipped drones. So a drone could fly up to my bedroom window and kill me now? We’re monitored at all times by the millions of cameras lining our streets. It’s positively Orwellian. People used to clown me when I said that the book 1984 was real and Big Brother is already watching. Sadly the one who laughs last (me) doesn’t laugh best in this scenario.
Why can’t we go back to 1994 when (my) life was simple and the music was better.
There was a hilarious/not hilarious vine that I saw months ago with a naked white man fighting off the cops, punching one in the face, then running away. He’s alive as well. A black child couldn’t get away with that behavior, let alone a black adult.
https://youtu.be/ZE0SYmIG9VQ
She’s being Ms. Messy Boots again. It’s exhausting
It’s time that we watch what we eat as well. There is also it’s the craziness and chemicals in the food that they’re feeding us. It’s time to get self sufficient or our community won’t survive
LMBO..it’s all good
I was referring to the local news reports. I was very disappointed in the way this whole situation was being reported on the local news here in Charlotte, especially TWC news 14 and WSOC this morning.
The water too – these people are straight up evil.
“At the end of the day we have the right under the Second Amendment to

Yes! The water too!
Wtf does that have to do with story??
You avatar is just hoe them crackas want your black ass. Shut the fck up. You are a disgrace.

Oh wait you probably gotba GED. Yo momma.
No it wouldn’t have been the same. They wouldn’t have yelled “drop the gun” 11 times. Police pull over thousands of black men EVERY DAY in America. They aren’t shot because they comply.
Get the F out of here you stupid SOB. You bishes always justify it when one of us is unjustly murdered but when something happens to one of you bishes we will hear about it for an eternity. I wasn’t talking to you anyway so you need to mind your business because I guarantee you this. You may be talking this BS now but trust me you pathetic jackass your day is coming. You dog haired bytch. Go take care of your mange and fleas.
Listen I know this is days later but apparently comprehension is Lost in Translation what I meant was not that people live in the hood pose a threat I’m talking about the people who live in the hood who are good people I’m saying why continue to live somewhere that is life threatening waiting to save money go move into a shelter and a better neighborhood and Social Services well place you understand now?
I lived n a shelter 5 months with my mom and let me tell u, these folks are better off where they are until they can AFFORD to do better..its all about protecting ur family and believing in God. .ive seen homeless men try n get n bed with women who were laying beside their kids, ive seen pedophiles plottin on kid residents, ive seen grown women pissing in the hall way, we went to a housing project after the 5 months and even tho it was rough it had NOTHIN on that shelter life…so no sorry if i dont understand, not one bit!
And in case u havent noticed, social service aint shyt now days!
