CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -

The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department continued to withhold video from police body cameras and dash cameras Wednesday that contain footage surrounding the moments a police officer shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott in the parking lot of a University City-area apartment complex.

Police say Scott was shot as he attempted to get out of his car with a gun in his hand. His family disputes that, saying he was in his car reading a book while he waited for his son to come home from school.

At a press conference Wednesday morning, CMPD Chief Kerr Putney said his department would not release the video.

Sooooo...

I'm going to wait until I see that video to make up my mind. See I'm not one of those idiots that hears "cop" and "black man shot" and assume I know exactly what happened. We have too many of those these days.
