WOW... Maybe English wasn't your best subject in school, so let me clear things up for you. The word "cops" is plural for "cop", which indicates more than one.
The headline states "cops shot at black man..." when the fact is that only one (black) "cop" shot the suspect.
Accurate indeed... LMAO
I'm not convinced the black cop shot Scott. In the dashcam video there was a quick flash coming out of the gun in the hand of the cop with the red shirt. Scott was looking right at him when the shots were fired and he doubled over as if the shots came from his direction. The red shirt cop had both hands on his gun as Scott was stepping backward on the other side of the white truck...but as Scott turned to look at him, he suddenly let go of one hand as the shots were fired and seemed to lose control of the gun and almost dropped it like it was a hot potato. Of course that's just my observation...but until proven otherwise I'm going to stick by it. I think the cop in the red shirt was the one that shot Scott...or at least one of them.
Because here's the the thing...if there were fours shots fired...it didn't look like the red shirt cop fired that many shots...more like one or two before he lost control of it. So it is possible that Scott was hit from two different directions...which lends some credence to the story that the black cop killed Scott...and supports the headline that "Cops shot at black man 4 times as he backed up".
