Guns Sell Out In Charlotte As Local Police Refuses To Release Shooting Video. Evidently the Police Chief wants more rioting. If it was a clean shooting as claimed, why not release it?
The reason the video is relevant is because many of the protesters dispute the official account of Scott’s death. Police contend he was carrying a gun when he approached officers and ignored repeated orders to drop it. His family and a witness say he was holding a book, not a firearm, when he was killed. “I’m not going to release the video right now,” Putney told reporters, the morning after nine people were injured and 44 arrested in riots over Scott’s killing.
