Which video clearly shows a gun? The wife's doesn't.
We finally know what book he was supposedly reading. Lyric YourAdorable repeatedly yelled he was reading a "motherfucking book". So obviously it had to be ...
Reading more on this..
Thanks for the info on the Brain Injury. Had not seen that yet.
Looking at this photo, it looks like his wallet under the heel of the cop, and the thing circled in the foreground, which appears to be smaller than the wallet, THAT is supposed to be the gun? Are there a lot of guns smaller than a wallet out there?

That thing on the ground is hard to make out, but I don't think it's the right shape. Perhaps it's a soft cover for a cell phone?

I edited. I'm wondering if it is one of the gloves used for dealing with blood on a scene. Looking at the video where the one guy is putting on black gloves (I assume latex gloves)
Not answering my question. From the beginning, the family has insisted that it was a book, not a gun, that Scott had. But they have not told us what book he was supposedly reading - a curious omission unless it was something embarrassing.What book was he supposedly reading?
Oh there's more than just books for you to pretend don't happen. There are whole lists of harmless objects cops have either used as a blatant excuse for their own bloodthirsty trigger fingers or were just too stupid or blinded by diminished capacity due to pumped-up red zone brain (also a kind of stupidity) to recognize.
Yeah, sometimes cops make mistakes. But note that in the case referenced in the beginning of this article, Vonderritt Myers indeed had a gun, and the "sandwich" story was the family lie (he did purchase a sandwich, but he also had a gun, which he fired at the cop who then shot him). Kind of like the book in this case.Oh, look, here's some lists right here. It's amazing the things you can find when you're not hell bent on not finding them.

I still think it's weird, given the short distance. But apparently some people do it.You claim that its strange despite you've been presented with a lot of different scenarios where it could be perfectly normal:
I explained it. School bus stops are many and well within walking distance for kids.How the hell can it be strange to pick up your kid at the bus stop in a car?
There may be a good explanation, sure.Just admit that it might not be strange, its ok, I won't hold it against you.
No. I always wear a condom.Btw, do you have kids?
I can imagine! Which is why it makes even less sense to chauffeur them for a 1/4 mile every afternoon. They have two working legs and should use them. I rarely used a bus in my day - I usually walked or biked and my middle and high schools were both about 2 miles from my house.Do you have any idea of a logistics hell that can be sometimes?
Nonsense. Her record matters as well. But his record involves a crime directly relevant to what happened during the shooting - he shot someone and served several years for it. And it was not the only violent crime he committed.It's obvious that you don't care what the cops record is as an officer because you support her regardless of what it is.

The scenario I have come up with is that perhaps the son had trouble with a local gang or something. That would also explain why Scott was packing heat. Of course, the family can't admit that because he is a felon and they are fully committed to the book narrative now.

Why?#1 is immaterial and1. He can't own a gun due to a violent felony.
2. It makes police version of events much more likely.
It is very much logical. Scott clearly has a history of violent crime, including gun crimes. Thus it is more likely that he would resort to same behavior again than it would be the case if he was not predisposed to violent crime. The argument does not hinge on police knowing he was predisposed to violent crime.#2 is not logical because the cops didn't know it at the time they shot and killed him.
I feel sad for United States. Although I have seen even small, elementary age, kids walking from the bus stop by themselves. Sometimes there is an adult walking with them, but they are certainly not chauffeuring them for a quarter mile. The only legitimate reason to drive just quarter of a mile, as far as I am concerned, is this.This isn't allowed anymore for younger kids. An adult must pick them up from the bus stop.
That depends on whether you also want to confront police with a gun and then refuse to drop it even though they order you to do so 11 times.Maybe you think I should get shot dead for it, too?

Leave it to Derec to come up with a scenario that vilifies black people. Of all the millions of possible explanations of why the parents would be picking their child up at the bus stop, Derec jumps to "local gangs" as the explanation.I still think it's weird, given the short distance. But apparently some people do it.

Since you have zero evidence that he actually had a gun at all, your comparison is bullshit. I have had a book at times though. Maybe you think I should be shot dead for having a book at a bus stop.That depends on whether you also want to confront police with a gun and then refuse to drop it even though they order you to do so 11 times.Maybe you think I should get shot dead for it, too?

The father was disabled and again, young kids are not allowed (generally) to walk home without adult supervision. Don't you remember threads with parents letting their pre-teens play in parks by themselves and the parents got in trouble?

Can anyone tell what the title of the book in the picture is?
Does anyone doubt that it is a book in the young woman's hands?
