George Soros wins again.

A previous protective order
In fall 2015, Rakeyia Scott asked a court in Gaston County, not far from Charlotte, for a domestic violence protective order against her husband, saying he had a gun and threatened to kill her with it. Keith Scott also had hit her and a child, she said.
Authorities tried to find Keith Scott, but he had moved to South Carolina. Rakeyia Scott two weeks later dropped her request, writing: "He is no longer a threat to me and my family."
Police say Keith Scott had this gun on him when he was shot September 20.

In those court filings obtained by CNN, Rakeyia Scott said her husband had threatened to kill her with a gun. "He said he is a 'killer' and we should know that," Rakeyia Scott said. She said her husband had hit her 8-year-old son in the head three times and had kicked her.
"He has a 9mm and threatened to use it last night. ... He does not have a permit," she wrote. "He is a felon."
Justin Bamberg, an attorney representing the Scott family, says information in the 2015 court filing has nothing to do with last week's shooting.
"At the end of the day, regardless of what salacious facts come out about his past, none of that affects whether or not he deserved to be shot," Bamberg said. "We know and we can see with our own eyes what happened in the moments that matter. The past has to be put in a box."
After a November 2015 motorcycle accident that left him in a coma for days and seriously injured, Scott came home from the hospital in January 2016 a changed man, Bamberg said.

You see we aren't allowed to bring up his violent past, even his violent past involving a gun. Even though the narrative was he was a nice man without a gun, who was reading a book just waiting for his kid.

Basically if you contradict that at all it's wrong and racist. He's not a slimeball, he's a pillar of the community, just look at how the people in the area spoke of him. These are the role models in these communities.

Remember the original story from the family was he had NO gun at all. That is what they said, that is what their lawyer said. Now the wife was there lol. She was there when this happened and so she had to have known it was a lie that he had no gun. Yet it seems it's only the cops whose word can't be trusted.

Speaking of the wife, like I said..she was there when this happened. So are we to assume the cops just..planted a gun right in front of her? They just planted false evidence right then and there? Not only planting a gun, but a gun with the guys fingerprints on it. Which means if he didn't have a gun that the cops walked up to his corpse and put the gun in his hand to get his prints on it, then put it on the ground. This woman apparently saw none of this.

His past of criminal or violent behavior is not relevant if he was not engaged in criminal or violent behavior at the time he was killed.

And if he was not engaged in criminal or violent behavior at the time he was killed, then raising the subject of his criminal or violent past is purely prejudicial.

The officers are not being given the benefit of the doubt, because their conduct is what is being questioned.

Police have fabricated evidence before, like when three Connecticut State Troopers were surreptitiously recorded fabricating charges against a protester last September.

No proof as usual, Connecticut has nothing to do with SC.

If some police officers are willing to fabricate charges against someone whom they find to be a public nuisance, what will others do if they accidentally kill someone? Or are you suggesting that police in Connecticut are fundamentally different than those in South Carolina in some way?

If you kill someone does that make me a killer too? What a great place you live in your mind to accuse other people of doing something because someone else did it.

Disagree, it's certainly relevant if you present the narrative his family tried.

And if he was not engaged in criminal or violent behavior at the time he was killed, then raising the subject of his criminal or violent past is purely prejudicial.

Remind me, is it against the law to ignore a lawful command of a police officer?

Also shit wait a minute. So the guy was convicted of assault in the past with a gun, etc. He had a long criminal record and he was NOT allowed to have a gun and he had a gun on him. The very act of having that gun on him was a criminal act, correct? He was actively engaged in criminal behave if he was in possession of a firearm when he was not supposed to be.

So going by what you JUST said, it's valid to bring it up. Okay thanks. Now before some genius comes and says I am saying a person should be killed for possession of an illegal firearm: I am not saying that. Merely that if due to his criminal past he was legally not allowed to have a gun then not only would the act of using that gun be a criminal act, but just HAVING it would be a criminal act.

Yes and blacks have lied before about encounters with cops. Like hands up don't shoot. Or you know..how like the family said he had a book.

He said if one cop did it in another state, that means a completely different cop did it somewhere else, you should not even be responding to that kind of nonsense.

I'm going to assume he just poorly phrased that, because if he truly just flat out meant that..it doesn't help his point because then we apply the exact same logic to the black community.

Now yes, some cops have fabricated evidence and sure it is definitely possible other cops might do the same. But in no way, shape, or form can we suggest they will fabricate something because some other cops in another state did so.

I mean like I said: blacks have lied plenty of times about encounters with cops. Guess this now means all blacks are lying about stuff that happens.

No he meant this. This is the guy who said I should honor a bet he refused to take on Hillary being indicted. You are giving him the benefit of the doubt now?

Thinking about it yeah it does seem hard to believe that perhaps this was just something poorly phrased.

Lol, nah, he's not that stupid to not know what he typed.

Well that is kind of why I was surprised. Since I would have assumed he would know that logic couldn't be applied to cops and only cops. It would have to be applied to everyone.

Since when did liberals have on standard tho?

That is not at all what I said.

And you clearly understood my post when you responded to it.

This it's exactly what you said, and it's exactly what you meant.

Right so, you are aware that he was indeed engaged in criminal activity so per what you said earlier..it's fair game to bring up, right? After all, if because of your criminal record you aren't supposed to have a firearm..you are in fact breaking the law just by having one.

They always, without fail, angelify the victim.

First they say:

"Mental breakdown is not easy to control. He needed someone who was trained. Just calm him down, and then take care of the situation," Olange's mother, Pamela Benge, said at a news conference Thursday. "

What this is referring to is someone who is trained to deal with the mentally ill and..that isn't cops. Why didn't she call an ambulance instead?

This guy pulls out an object and then goes into a shooting stance, I'm not sure what they expected to happen. Sounds like suicide by cop. Is this the norm now? Every time a black man gets shot by a cop it's going to make headlines, even when it was justified?

Interesting piece:

YouTube video

From that same article:

"federal authorities had twice tried to deport Olango to his native Uganda, but were unable to secure documents from that country's government and he was released from custody."

Lol wow, they were going to deport him but couldn't get paper work from his government so they just let him go.

People want to scream and holler and blame someone? Blame immigration. If they'd deported him he'd probably still be alive.
