This is where I call the BS squad. If it's justified, why riot? Now, I don't truly believe it's justified, but my opinion doesn't matter. Only facts do.

Of course not - justified shootings don't support the victim narrative. As well by rioting they are increasing the chance of violence and or death - yet bodies are in the streets.

Very conflicting message in using violence in seeking tolerance.

It was not justified and they lied about the gun (theres a video showing them planting the gun) but riots should never take place no matter what!

With all due respect those were gloves being dropped in the video - not a gun. The officer was putting on gloves to render aid to Mr. Scott. As well why would someone wear an empty ankle holster? This is how quickly a false narrative can spread. Not surprised the media is neglecting to inform the public that Mr. Scott effectively forfeited his right to carry a gun in 2005, when he was convicted in the shooting of a man in San Antonio and sentenced to prison. As well his wife applied for a protective order against him stating he owned a gun and had threatened to kill family members with it. “He has a 9mm and threatened to use it last night,” Ms. Scott wrote. “He does not have a permit, he is a felon.” In 2004 “My husband Keith Scott assaulted me several times by stabbing me in the back almost puncturing my lungs, he sliced me ear and bruised my body,” she wrote. So did she forget or was she lying in the video saying he doesn't have a gun? Mr. Scott was charged with a number of offenses including check fraud, aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon during the 90's. If we are going to investigate this how about we examine the integrity of all those involved.

Illegal drugs/illegal firearm/attempted murder/child abuse/physical assault of his wife - yet we assume the cops are the bad ones.

Justified or not MLK did more with peaceful marches and protests than the BLM is doing with violence. I have posted on several of these topics and when I see a bad shoot I call it as I see it. But Justified or not there is never a reason to Riot, loot, and burn the city down. That's your home, all this does is drive the narrative that minority's are criminals and thugs and makes everyone care even less about these issues.

I remember the Watts riots, and all the innocent people beaten, local shops looted and burned down.... for what? Because someone is mad at a situation? How about be constructive? join the Police department and change it from the inside, get into politics and get the laws you don't like changed, start mentoring the youth to not be in gangs, start taking pride in your community.

This rioting has got to end.

Your suggestions means these slave minded, zombies would have to put forth some effort. And they can't have that.

Did you see what I did there? But I agree 100% with you.
