about the drug use except for the marijuana, perhaps, didn t know about his traumatic brain injury, and they saw a man with a gun down on his sidewalking backwards. there must be more to it. really, this case comes down to this. it was a competition between credibility. you had the community members who were shown in many parts to give one testimony in front of the media and one in front of the fbi, and you had officers who were already deemed to be credible and you had more than one saying there was a threat of lethal force by keith lamont scott. in that balancing act, officers almost always win. one of the discrepancies was did keith lamont scott have a gun. a lot of the witnesses said no. the wife said no. the evidence as laid out here in the witness testimony from the other police officers and radio traffic is yes. that is what the d.a. just said there. however, tom fuentes, the d.a. made clear keith lamont scott did not raise or point the gun. no witness testimony points to
that. the other piece of evidence which is interesting is none of the video, there was a lot of video from dash cams, body cam, to keith lamont scott s own wife shooting video with her cell phone, none of the video actually shows a gun in his hand. first of all, they not only show that he had a gun, they showed that he had and proved that he had that gun, with the evidence that it had been stolen and the individual who sold it to scott, that that s how he obtained that gun. the idea that he would be wearing an ankle holster without that gun in the event that he might find a holster on the street to fit that gun is absurd. the whole notion that just because the gun s in his hand and he doesn t pose a threat, i was a police firearms instructor, an fbi firearms instructor, s.w.a.t. team member, s.w.a.t. commander. i can tell you that wild bill hickok would have a difficult time winning that draw if the subject already has the gun in his hand because it would take less than a tenth of a

we took a lot of pain-staking effort to make certain that there was no personal bias in the review, that public opinion did not factor in our determination. i would like the community to take a collective pause. the community should read the report, digest the report. police did not act viscerally on news snippets. read the report. described in the legal analysis, the basis for this decision, in this case we find ourselves in the position of correcting misinformation that has been shared both on social media and in the news media. people made claims on camera but later admitted to law enforcement they didn t actually see the incident.
her colleagues and she s very progressive, like a lot of people in this very progressive caucus. tim ryan ride to make the case that it s time for change, the party needs to go in a different direction, particularly to communicate to rust belt voters and states the democrats struggled with in the past election. he appeared to have made some headway within the caucus by the fact he did get 63 votes. still, nancy pelosi re-elected as house democratic leader. the pressure will be on her to get back to the house majority, something they have not had since that 2010 election. she can figure out how to do that within two cycles, she will be in a better chance but still, something for her to pay attention to. nancy pelosi a little more vulnerable than we may have thought a few weeks ago. john and kate? absolutely right. thank you so much. breaking news from capitol hill. we also have breaking news this morning on the trump transition. a major announcement coming from the president-elect.
