No wonder they didn't want to disclose it. Scott was BACKING AWAY from the police when they shot him. This is not going to help their case.
NC is open carry, so he had a right to his gun. And they moved in on him when they saw him smoking a marijuana cigarette and saw the gun.
This is not good for the CPD. No, Scott didn't obey when told, but it's going to be damned hard to convince a jury he was a threat when he was BACKING AWAY FROM THE POLICE!!!
