Wow, this is so shocking…said no one. Sadly, it has become the norm for cops to be able to kill minorities in cold blood and get away with it, and such is the case one again with Keith Lamont Scott’s murderer.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Brentley Vinson fatally shot 43-year-old Scott outside of his home on September 20, after cops initially saw him rolling weed in his car, and later approached him because they saw he was armed. North Carolina is an open-carry state, however, so this was legal.

The New York Times reports Mecklenburg County district attorney R. Andrew Murray stated Wednesday that “Officer Vinson acted lawfully when he shot Mr. Scott.” Regarding claims that Scott was not holding a gun at the time he was shot by Vinson, Murray said, “All of the credible and available evidence suggests that he was armed.”

Scott’s family’s response is below. RIP.
