"The video evidence doesn't solely get us to probable cause," Putney said.RELATED: CMPD chief: Video evidence doesn't get us to probable causeBrentley Vinson, the officer who opened fire, was not wearing a body camera, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney. Putney said other uniformed officers on scene were wearing cameras. Vinson was reportedly wearing plain clothes and a clearly marked CMPD vest."I can tell you a weapon was seized, a handgun," Putney said, discussing what was recovered from the scene. "I can also tell you we did not find a book that has been made referenced to."Family calls for CMPD to answer videoFamily viewed the video Thursday, saying they then had "more questions than answers.""When told by police to exit his vehicle, Mr. Scott did so in a very calm, non-aggressive manner," the statement from the family read. "While police did give him several commands, he did not aggressively approach them or raise his hands at members of law enforcement at any time."An attorney later told the media that they saw "versions from different angles."RELATED: Family, police see different tale in same videos"We believe the time will come where everyone will be able to see what actually happened," he said. "We ask that you all give this family time to mourn."Several stories have emerged on whether Scott had a gun at the time. Some say he was holding a book. "My understanding is that he did not own a gun, he did not habitually carry a gun," Bamberg said.

The 2 ½-minute shows his wife repeatedly telling officers he is not armed and pleading with them not to shoot as they shout commands to drop a gun.

Timely Hitting Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Here we goI remember when you used to hate cops and sided with citizens first. Your hate of black people has clouded your vision. From that video, for you to argue he was a threat is absolutely laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal force should be the absolute last option. You used to agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal force should be the absolute last option. You used to agree with that. I agree it should be the last resort. Can't tell of he had a gun from that video. They clearly tell him to drop it multiple times. It's sad either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the crucial part for me. His hands never elevate towards and officer and he's walking backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see anything but hard to say. Don't trust cops word on that since they dropped that weapon at that guys side they shot in the back a year or so ago. I'm tired of cops killing people in this country, regardless of race. We do it at a crazy amount compared to the rest of the civilized world.
