This… I…
On Tuesday, September 20th, Keith Lamont Scott was murdered by police by his car near his apartment. This sparked protests (here’s a reminder before anyone starts bemoaning riots).
Police insist he had a gun. His family says he had a book he was reading in his car waiting for a family member to return home from school. Based on their history in these cases, I do not believe the cops. Keith’s family also says he was disabled.

His family has a GoFundMe. If you can afford to, please donate. If you can’t, please share. Thank you.
Hard to say. I think it’s important not to draw conclusions when you don’t have solid evidence, and to try to not let your political views color your evaluation of the facts (as much as that is possible). His family could be reliably relaying what happened, but they’re also not exactly unbiased. Video should probably make it more clear.

1. The police have a track record of lying about this stuff… in almost every single case where they murdered a black person.
2. The video is out. It’s proof that Keith did NOT have a gun.
The police are fucking liars. Racist-ass liars.
It’s like a gradual subtle form of genocide at this point.

You are just going around shitting everywhere on FtB, aren’t you? If it isn’t being a Harrisite, it’s being a pawn of white supremacy.
Black people shouldn’t be executed by police isn’t a “political view”.
Of course. We need a panel of Vulcan white experts to assess.
