OP, thanks for this. Brilliant work.
It is truly amazing that the MSM with all their money have failed to find this out and are pressing on with the doting father who picks up his son daily narrative.

Seems like another very embarrassing episode for BLM and the agitators.

Its been obvious for a long time that MSM is only about portraying the victim side versus those the "Victim" actually victimized themselves.

A career criminal being a loving father is not really that shocking. As portrayed by most gang/mob stories/biographies, their families were always very fond of them....they were just criminals for a living.

Imo, the msm are playing catch up in this particular case. We want and react off instant information in this digital age. The initial narrative and information to report on came from the daughters FB live account and the reactions that followed were from that. As the story developed, the news of his track record and initial police reports are coming to light which counter tha families claims, yet, it would not matter to those seeking justification for their preconceived views on the topic. The msm is dictated by business. We as consumers dont give nor demand the time for journalism to occur and the msm acts accordingly, which leaves the difficulty of changing the narrative after the initial story starts breaking.

These "riots" are the thrashings of a drowning group. When your head is held under water you flail and fight and someone may get hit. And OK, maybe Scott wasn't an angel in his prior life, but he served all penalties for those infractions. you are saying he deserved to die because he was a black man with a record.

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Wow ... the potty mouths of his daughters are a pretty good indication of the thug Scott was in real life.

I am just waiting for more of these Riots.
One day it will happen that a group of these Rioter will try to loot a store only to find the store owner and a couple friends are protecting the store with assault weapons or pump shotguns and wait till a group of these looters are inside the store and open up.
When the news media find out about 10 to 15 dead looters are being hauled off to the morgue they will really have a problem on how to report it.

They aren't rioting in Charlotte cause a black cop shot a armed black guy. They are angry cause they have had a black potus for almost 8 years and made things worse and they are worse off! The easy scapegoat (white people) is everything but the REAL reason they are angry! No jobs, No opportunity, and nothing but a #tier life then before! But hey let's blame the white people even though most of these riots have occurred with a black potus, black AG, black mayors, and progressive liberal agenda's!

This doesn't appear to have happened during any riot in modern history, and I'd suggest that the reason for that isn't simply coincidence or lack of opportunity. The thing about shooting rioters if they invade your store is that sooner or later, and probably much sooner rather than later, word of what you did will spread and you will be invaded by a much greater number of rioters who are now even angrier than they were before and looking for revenge. And that's not a desirable prospect, even for an armed person, or an armed family.

No.. it hasn't happened because these pavement apes only loot and riot in their own communities. Let them try and do this in a white neighborhood and see what happens to them.

No...he was a black felon with a record and an illegally owned gun which he was brandishing....bit of a different situation than the rose colored one you propose.

The "previous charges" seem to be more character assassination. Even ex felons deserve equal protection under the law.

That said, the people protesting are mostly protesting their condition. His death is an avatar for all the little injustices (and big ones) that they have gone through themselves. You protest when something resonates within you.

Moreover, it is likely that the majority of protesters have very fluid or no jobs Which is, again, an indication of people who are speaking out against their condition, and using this as the soap box.

It has nothing to do with the dead man. He's just the story that resonated.

Everyone grieves in their own way, and this was only moments after they learned of their father's death. Let's hold back condemning them for the way they expressed their grief, and allow for a little empathy, huh? If it had been my daughter dead like that, they'd have to had put me in handcuffs! Nice language would be the farthest concern from my mind.

a reply to: Vasa Croe

So typical. Every single time they defend someone shot, the person ends up being a criminal. Of course, nothing says, "Don't treat us like criminals" better than going out and looting, destroying property, and attacking people. Oh, wait.....

I agree with why it may have started the protesting, but as an ex felon he was still breaking the law at the time of the shooting by having a gun. Someone who goes to jail as many times as this guy has either learns or doesn't...it appears he didn't.

As far as all of the protesters turning to rioting...that is not resonation...that is mob mentality of people who could really care less about the resonating of a reason and more about animal instinct to just rage and destroy.

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

I get that, but this isn't doing anything productive about it. Furthermore, I am tired of them complaining about everything and everyone else as if there is no fault on their end for the situations they end up in.

They bear some of the responsibility for this no matter how much they want to deny it, and I am not interested in trying to fix things until they are willing to acknowledge this problem is partially theirs as much as it is everyone else's. Because if they aren't willing to do their own work to address things, then nothing we do on our end to fix things will work.

It's like leading the horse to water. I can do that, but if the horse then refuses to hold up its end by drinking, it won't matter how much water I try to take it to.

Yeah, he was a scumbag. That doesn't matter though... BLM...
Yea...
Sigh.

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

You can't blame a cop for not wanting the criminal to get the drop on them. Criminals are pretty nasty people.

A lot of people who support the Black Lives Matter movement are so biased when it comes to black people getting shot. Just because of their pigmentation, they ignore all of the facts about that person. It's so ridiculous and moronic. Black, white, green, red, if you were a #ty person, I won't be forming protests for you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So, the cop KNEW he was a career criminal? Or did they really know ANYTHING about him? Other than his race?

Yes, they knew he had a gun, got out of the car with it twice, and was a threat to their safety and the safety of others. That's all they needed to know.

After you said all that...the simple fact still remains the same.

You are attempting to justify a murder of someone you deem not worth living, outside our justice system provided by the Constitution.

Further, it is clear to see what major factor is playing a role in your enjoyment of this murder.

Killing someone in self defense isn't murder, and he was holding a gun, and threatening the police. They don't lose the right to self defense when they become police. Calling it murder is defamation of character.

How dare You bring this up You racist,,,HE HAD A BOOK WITH A GUN ON THE COVER and got shot.
