NBC News obtained new video of the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott by the police.

I really want to stress this – do NOT draw absolute conclusions from this video.

That being said, it is telling that the wife is yelling at Scott to do what the cops tell him. She tries to tell the police that he’s not doing anything, but if he was following orders, she wouldn’t be yelling at him in that way. That in no way means it was a justifiable shooting, but it gives some more evidence to help decipher what actually happened.
