I keep checking for updates on the Philando investigation, MS. Nada. It really is frustrating.
Charlotte PD has just released some police video of the Keith Scott shooting to media outlets.
I agree with you and Duchess, releasing it to the public is the right thing under the circumstances. The Chief made some statements right after the incident that were completely favorable to the officers, a couple of which he later side-stepped. He put a narrative out there when he could have held off, so I don't think it's too much to expect him to back it up with the video.
Over the last couple of years, we've seen many early narratives from LE officials, police officers, and police union heads which were later fully contradicted by witness or surveillance video.
When Chief Putney told the press today that he was now ready to release some video, he said Mr. Scott was in the process of committing a crime when he was mistakenly approached by all those plain-clothes cops. What crime, you ask? Rolling a joint while minding his own fucking business sitting in his parked vehicle.
It's unclear if the marijuana was "medicinal" and the medicine his wife was referring to in the cell video which was released to the public yesterday.
