I still don't get how these body cams have such shit image quality. It's the [current year] and you're telling me they can't get a rugged, reliable, 720p camera suitable for a body cam for a reasonable price?

I've read here that they constantly fall off too. I know government contract largess and corruption can get you a bad product, behind schedule, and marked up 500%, but good grief.

Can anyone enlighten me? These blurry images are just going to let rumors run wild.

eta: I recognize that for some folks, the images will never be clear enough and they will believe what they want to believe

If I recall my college days correctly, a blunt is just a short, fat joint.

I'm sure it's been discussed here but this is my opinion based on the body cam and dash cam footage: I did not see Keith point his gun at any officers and honestly I didn't even see the gun in his possession but the angles weren't the best. I see a post above mine with a photo of a handgun, presumably Keith's, so it does look like he had one.

Failure to comply is the common thread in all these cases. You're absolutely right that these knuckleheads turn mildly bad situations into extremely bad situations by their refusal to submit to authority. I get that.

But damn, maybe at some point the cops should just say "Fuck it, it's not worth killing the dude over this." Correct me if I'm wrong but years ago didn't the police seriously curtail high speed pursuits over minor shit because it wasn't worth the risk? Maybe a similar mindset needs to come into play before escalating minor violation encounters into deadly force situations. Yeah, the guy has a gun. Maybe they could just back off and watch the dude for awhile instead of taking it to the wall.

I'm just thinking out loud. This is not a well-thought out position. I could be wrong. It just seems so pointless and stupid.

Seems like what the world really needs is a more effective non-lethal weapon. Put the phasers on stun and deal with it later . . .

Some cop saw him smoking a joint in his parked car. Cop left and rallied the troops and they came back to bust him for the crime of the century.


Even if that is the case, when a cop says, "drop your weapon" what do you do?   Jump out of the car holding it?   I mean that must be some seriously good weed for that to seem like a good idea

The Chief said the plain clothes officers in an unmarked car observed him rolling a blunt and they decided that did NOT warrant action.
They acted when they saw the firearm.
They left the complex, put on their vests and came back in.

Wondering if the officers said something to him and he responded by showing them his gun.

Like i said earlier, i think they saw his ankle holster exposed. If you look prior to him being shot, you can see the holster exposed. So my bet is they saw the holster and blunt.

The cops were at the complex to serve a warrant on someone else, they observed Scott and shit went south.

If you compare the wife's video and the dash cam, she is yelling at him and he is still in his vehicle.

You can hear the cops telling him to drop his weapon on her video and faintly on the dash cam video, seems to me he was still in his vehicle.  So, could they see him waving a gun in the car?  Is that why she was yelling to him "don't do it Keith".  What did she see him doing that prompted her to yell that?

Ok, I lost my train of thought.....

I think there is a good case for impromptu suicide by cop. Just said fuck it, I'm not going back to prison. Could have even been contemplating suck starting his pistol in the car and that's why he had out and up.

Your snark is noted.

IF they are going to have cameras, at least make them useful. I've seen reasonable arguments for and against having them.

Blurry video just gives ammo to the crazies so they can whip up others in a frenzy, at least in some cases.

But why would a guy rolling a blunt be waving a gun around in his car? Plus would officer be able to clearly see him rolling a blunt inside his car from across a parking lot? I dont think a guy inside a car would get the attention of an officer vs a man outisde of the car. I think he may have been outisde the car when they saw him with gun& blunt. They left for vests and additional uniformed officers. Came back, now he is smoking it in his car.

I'm not getting into the whole shooting itself, but the fact that the chief was adamant about the gun being pointed at police and the video shows he didn't is going to be the big sticking point for the rioters and protesters. In their mind its going to reinforce he wasn't a threat to the police, even though he body language says "ok its time to get it on" by him backing up and looking side to side with his body squared up.

One of the really positive things to come as a result of these riots is that anyone who is feeling a bit down in the dumps, depressed, has low self esteem or just generally doesn't feel too good about their position in life, can take one look at the live feeds and instantly feel better about themselves. There are few people in this world more useless and pathetic than many of the people in these "protests."  I mean, you either have unemployed, unskilled, literally useless people. Or those who have spent likely hundreds of thousands of their parents' money earning some useless degree now proving their uselessness by doing nothing but being a useful idiot wearing face pubes, skinny jeans and thick fucking black glasses thinking they're making something out of their lives. I can't even imagine the smell at one of these places.
