Video Moments Leading Up to Charlotte Shooting of Keith Scott NBC News. Taken by his wife, not much to see here. No view of him, the shooting or a gun that we can see. You can hear “Drop the gun” being yelled a lot in the background. Hmmm.

I don't get how she recorded this. Was she with him in the car? If not how/why was she there?
they are divorced and he was there picking up the kid from the bus. Apparently, she lives on the street.
Can't the kid walk the two steps to the house on his own?
You'd be amazed at the ridiculously short bus rides kids are taking to school these days. I've seen kids getting off school buses within a quarter mile of the school.
That pisses me off. When I was in High School, if you lived within 2 miles of the school, you didn't get the bus. I lived 1-1/2 miles from school.
There's a mother on my street who parks for fifteen minutes every day so she can be there at the bus stop to pick up her daughter and drive her about fifty yards up their driveway to their home. Basically, she's decided the driveway is too long for the poor little girl to travel afoot. How can that child ever be ready for the world with a mother like that?
Like you, I grew up before the schools decided it was their job to make sure no child ever walks more than ten yards to school. My elementary school was about a mile and a half away and they did bus us, but if I dawdled and missed the school bus I was expected to walk. In the winter that was not fun. My high school was about five miles away. The school figured it was my job to figure out how to get there. Hitch a ride with a friend, borrow mom's car, hop on a city bus, whatever. Once or twice I stayed late and had to walk home. It didn't kill me.
Exactly. Although, they didn't have city bus service where I lived. It was too rural to be cost effective. The only bus that passed near my house was a school bus. Winter sucked to have to go to school, until I was old enough to drive, which in NJ was 17 years old.
At least all those school buses aren't expensive, or cause much congestion. Along with the hordes of soccer moms tying up the streets all around the schools in the morning and early afternoon. Sarc/off.
According to the BLM morons they were yelling at him to drop his copy of the Quran.
We've already seen a photo of the gun lying on the ground after he was shot so I don't know why she's yelling that he doesn't have a gun. It's like she's taking a video and yelling "He doesn't have a gun!" because she knows it will look good in court when she sues.
And another thing I don't understand: supposedly he was just waiting for his daughter's school bus, but why does he come wait for his daughter's school bus right in front of the wife's house? Are they divorced? If they're divorced, why does everyone keep calling her his wife? And even if they're divorced, why does he have to wait for the school bus when the kid's mother lives right there? Something about this doesn't make sense.
to me I think the video indicts Keith, not the police. They are screaming multiple times to drop the gun. They didn't run up like keystone cops and start firing. Additionally, she kept calling to Keith, the other stuff she said belied every other thing that happened at the scene. The protestors don't help their side when the facts don't match their redirect.
Plus, she kept telling him not to do it. There is nothing there that indicts the cops IMHO.
