    The way we need to think is that the police have the right to shoot anyone with a gun? That and open carry laws should make for great entertainment.

    A bad person, a stupid person, nonetheless.

    Good riddance.

    The folks who lied to Police should be charged, then sued by every property owner who had damage from the riots they started.

    I guess you're a happy person to know that a child now has no father.

    The cops can not prove that he pointed a gun at them to even was holding on to the gun, despite all the video footage. Hence it is custom to assume the guy is innocent.

    Of course he was holding something are you saying his wife was lying when she thought a gun was a book?

    Are you saying every cop on that scene was mistaking empty hands as holding a gun since multiple cops told him to "drop the gun".

    Justified shooting... If a cop tells you to drop a gun.. Do it.

    Scott was a brain damaged thug. A druggie who bought a stolen gun.

    Shame on him and everyone who supports criminals who buy and use stolen guns.

    The grainy video? The police released their two camera footages which clearly show the whole period. Do you actually know this case? So again, at what point in the videos showing the moment he got out of the car to the moment he got killed was a gun pointed at police

    You wrote "......law that allows you to point a gun at a LEO......."

    So i ask you again, at what point in the videos showing the moment he got out of the car to the moment he got killed was a gun pointed at police?

    You can always say that you were wrong and at no time did he point a gun at the LEOs

    Yelling drop the gun does not mean the perp was aiming it at the police. Cops yell drop the gun whenever they assume someone is holding something that may or may not be a firearm. They are trained to do so.

    You didn't answer the question. I've seen the videos. At what point was he pointing the gun at them? Also, on what basis do you assume that the word of these officers is more valid then the video evidence?

    So multiple cops thought he was holding a gun.. His wife claims it was a book.. So everyone was wrong and its a giant conspiracy... Got you.

    - - - Updated - - -

    So his wife was lying as well and your premise was he was holding nothing? Which video out there shows his hands were empty? While you and Truth debate in hindsite and bring nothing to the table another cop died.. Reality sucks doesnt it.

    At what point is it shown his hands were empty which means the cops AND his wife lied. :wall:

    No. You're not being honest.

    At what point, in what video, was he pointing a gun at the LEOs?

    Provide evidence, or just like you "libs hate democracy" argument, you will lose. Typical. No evidence to support your assertions.

    The one I posted above, I have no obligation to keep repeating myself.

    And the sentencing should be............
    I'm asking you what you believe should happen.

    I've never made such a blanket statement.

    No it's not as the DA established in his news conference, suggest you listen to it where he lays out the applicable law and the evidence that supported that.

    At what point did i state that he was pointing his gun at LEO"s as a fact .. I was explaining to a nitwit that "Open carry laws" are moot in this instance.
