By now everyone knows that a week ago in Charlotte NC a police officer fatally shot Keith Lamont Scott. Because Scott is black, the event had the full attention and resources of the Black Lives Matter group and was built up to become a media circus despite the fact that the officer who shot him was also black; that police video shows Scott refusing to listen to police, shows him holding something and pointing it at police (unclear but possibly a gun) and that police claim he had a gun and that there were drugs in the vehicle. The video shows police officers yelling at Scott at least 10 times to “Drop the gun!” before shooting him. It is also known now that Scott suffered a serious brain injury in a motorcycle crash last year – and this fact also leads us to question if he was capable of the same rational behavior he would have had before the brain injury. Perhaps, just maybe, he wasn’t acting cooperative – and the police stopped him for a reason, and he had a gun in his hand and wouldn’t put it down as the police claim. Hardly a clear case of injustice.
