(2,470 posts)Police were supposedly searching for a suspect when they shot Mr. Scott. What is that suspects description and how closely does Mr. Scott match that description?
Mr. Scott was in a car. Was a car associated with the suspect police were looking for? If so what is that vehicle's description.
At what point did police realize that Mr. Scott was not the suspect they were looking for? What attempts were made to check whether Mr. Scott was the suspect or not?
From the video she provided, Mrs. Scott tried to talk with the police. Did any police officer try to interact with Mrs. Scott before the shooting?
Police got the wrong man and then shot him. I've seen no indication that they tried to identify Mr. Scott. There also seems to be enough time for at least one officer to question Mrs. Scott before the shooting.
It pisses me off that the media isn't asking these basic questions.
