As NPR reports, according to evidence recovered from the scene, testimony from officers and body camera footage from several of the officers, Murray says Scott emerged from his vehicle with a gun in his hand. The Colt .380, according to Murray, had “one round in the chamber,” the safety was off and the weapon was cocked.

“What [the officer] saw was a man who had drawn a gun when confronted by police,” Murray said.

However, Murray did not mention that Scott never once pointed the gun nor did he make any threatening movements whatsoever. He was killed for holding a gun and being noncompliant — two acts hardly deserving of a death sentence.

As the Free Thought Project previously reported, just two seconds elapse between the time Scott removes the weapon from his vehicle and the time Vinson shoots — even though it appears all officers on the scene are located behind cover of vehicles.

Worse, the 34-year-old father, whose only crime constitutes being in the wrong place at the wrong time, never raised the weapon in a threatening manner — he simply never had the chance to, if that was even his intent.

Footage shows Scott retrieve the gun and back away from his vehicle as his wife yells from a slightly removed location that her husband has a TBI — traumatic brain injury — has just taken his medicine and poses no threat to officers.

It would seem from video taken by his wife, Rakeyia, simply in the number of orders to drop the weapon issued by police, that Scott had actually procured the weapon from his SUV prior to the time shown in footage released by Charlotte police.

But even if that is the case, again, at the time Vinson fired four bullets, Scott posed literally no threat to officers.
