Yielding to Pressure, Charlotte Will Release Videos of Keith Scott Shooting

By ALAN BLINDERSEPT. 24, 2016

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte authorities said Saturday that they would release dashboard and body camera recordings in the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, whose death has prompted large and sometimes violent protests here.

The decision is a reversal by the city government, whose leaders previously contended that disclosing the recordings so soon after the shooting could undermine a criminal inquiry by the State Bureau of Investigation. But by Saturday, under pressure from protesters, community leaders and even Hillary Clinton, the authorities relented.

The city’s police chief, Kerr Putney, announced at an afternoon news conference that the footage, which state officials said the city had the power to distribute, will be released.

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!!!
