Quote:No charges will be brought against Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer Brentley Vinson in the September shooting death of a man in University City, District Attorney Andrew Murray announced Wednesday.

Keith Lamont Scott, 43, was shot Sept. 20 in a confrontation with officers outside his apartment.

Murray said that evidence in the case shows that Scott stepped out of his SUV with a gun in his hand and ignored at least 10 commands from the five officers on the scene to drop it.

Murray said that Scott obtained the gun – which had been stolen in Gaston County – 18 days before the confrontation. One bullet was found in the chamber of the gun, the safety was off and Murray said Scott’s DNA was found on the grip and ammunition slide.

Murray said that speculation in the community that Scott was unarmed – initial reports from a family member on Facebook said he was holding a book – were untrue.

“A reading book was not found in the front or back seats of Mr. Scott’s SUV,” Murray said.

Quote:People who claimed on social media that they had seen the shooting and Scott was unarmed were later found to be in error – three people who’d made the claim told State Bureau of Investigation agents in interviews that they hadn’t actually seen the shooting.

Murray said he ran the evidence in the case past 15 veteran prosecutors in his officer and they were unanimous in their recommendation that there was insufficient evidence to charge Vinson in the case.

Good. Now we can discuss the impending protests to this in the next week or so

sweet, more protests tonight

Why the need to comment on what people on social media thought?

What do you think drove the "protests" that resulted in a person's death and others' injuries?

Good. He's a cop. He should be able to shoot anybody he feels like. Stay out of his way, libs!

Those protests weren't real. They were professional protesters hired by George Soros.

Don't you read infowars?

Good and justice system worked. Now let's get ready for N. Charleston officer acquitted in Walter Scott as well due to the evidence.

Thank goodness for the officer involved. The riots resulted in multiple people being attacked and injured, one person killed and thousands of dollars in damage. For someone who was armed with a stolen weapon and wouldn’t drop it.

If there is an acquittal there, and the possibility truly exists because of the incompetence of the solicitor's office down there, it will not be justified. I've spoke with people familiar with that case and from what they say Slager should do time.

The people running their mouths in front of the TV cameras were lying and they knew there were lying.

This is the one where the officer allegedly planted a gun correct?

Same thing happened in Ferguson. Some of them even lied to the police about seeing the incident.

Some who were willing to tell the truth were afraid to do it in public.

No.

That is what they said on the radio this morning but I guess they were wrong. Anyhow, I don't know how anyone would say that this man should go free.

Some of the left attacking the officer at Ohio State who took down the attacker this week just proves the left will ALLWAYS blame the police if a black person is shot and killed regardless of them being justified shootings. It is always blame the police in all instances.

I suggest you vet your news sources a little better.

And he probably shouldn't go free, but there is a very real possibility. The Solicitor's office in Charleston County is incompetent and they very well could blow this case because of it.

Radical ‘Uprising’ Group Issues Threats After Prosecutor Declines To Prosecute Charlotte Officer In Shooting




The prosecutor found the evidence did not justify prosecution, that Keith Lamont Scott had a gun, was told to drop it at least 10 times. But that doesn’t matter to this group.

Notice how lacking in reality they are? Justin Carr, who they reference in the second picture, was murdered by a man with the ‘protesters’, police had nothing at all to do with it. But hey, what are facts when you are trying to push a race war?
