Despite claims by his family that he only had a book in his possession, pictures of a semi-automatic pistol taken by witnesses have been released, and WSOCTV in Charlotte is reporting that dash camera video shows Scott advancing on officers with the gun in his hand.

Despite this apparent reality, Black Lives Matter is attempting to portray Scott as a victim, and has a hand in tonight’s unfolding bloodshed.
