heymrsamerica: krxs100: Video Shows Police Fatally Shooting Keith Scott Despite Wife Yelling At Them That He Had No Weapon A video released to NBC News shows the moment when police in Charlotte, North Carolina, shot Keith Scott. Keith Scott was waiting in his truck for his young son to come home from school, his lawyer told NBC News’ Gabe Gutierrez, but his wife had gone inside their apartment to grab a cell phone charger. She was gone for about three minutes and began recording once she emerged from the apartment. In the video, which lasts two minutes and 12 seconds, Scott’s wife pleads with an officer that her husband doesn't have a weapon. It also shows what appears to be the officer dropping his gun. At the same time, the officer is pointing a gun in Scott’s direction.“Don’t shoot him, he has no weapon,” Rakeyia Scott says several times. She tells the officers that her husband has a TBI, or a traumatic brain injury, and then assures them, “He’s not gonna do anything, he just took his medicine.” Police fire their weapons, and Scott can be seen lying on the ground.
