*OK Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department; Chief Kerr Putney; Mayor Jennifer Roberts and NC Governor Pat McCrory, in the words of Desi Arnaz, y’all go some ‘splainin’ to do. That’s because new footage of the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott went viral on the internet today (09-25-16).

This new video shows a different angle from the ones released by Charlotte police and local/state authorities and clearly showe Scott walking backwards with his hands at his sides before his death. Again, if he had a gun, it’s not seen in the video

Scott was killed by police September 20, which led to riots in Charlotte. Governor Pat McCrory has since declared a state of emergency in the city, imposing a citywide curfew from midnight to 6am.

Scott’s family said that he was simply sitting in his car reading a book when police ordered him out of the car and killed him. Police contended that he had been carrying a handgun. This new footage, however, seems to suggest that Scott was not carrying a weapon.

Here’s what we reported earlier …

*After intense pressure, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department released some of the tapes of the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, which has sparked days of protests across the city. The announcement was made on Saturday by Police Chief Kerr Putney. He also said that that other footage will come later.

Body cam video of Keith Lamont Scott shooting:

Via the dash cam video, Scott is seen exiting his car. He then walks backwards out of view of the camera and  then four shots are heard.Viewers are still not able to tell if there is anything in his hands. Meanwhile, if you’re wondering, the actual shooting is neither seen nor heard in the body cam footage.

Also, Officer Brentley Vinson, identified by police as the shooter, cannot be seen firing his weapon in either video.

Dash cam video of Keith Lamont Scott shooting:

Even though the tapes released to the public don’t show Scott with a gun, somehow Chief Putney is comfortable saying that Scott was “absolutely” in possession of a handgun and will offer “indisputable evidence” of the department’s account. Putney then added that at this point, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department will not be charging any officer in the shooting. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is also investigating the case.

The whole situation came about, according to Putney ,when officers were conducting surveillance related to a warrant they intended to serve on someone else, but their attention was drawn to Scott. They claim they saw marijuana and a weapon in Scott’s car and said believed, “this is a safety issue for us and the public,” the police chief said.
