“Don’t shoot him. Don’t shoot him. He has no weapon. He has no weapon,” Scott says in the video. “Don’t shoot him.”

Despite her claim, a police officer continually instructs her husband, “Drop the gun.”

Rakeyia Scott also tells police in the video that her husband suffers from a traumatic brain injury, telling police, “He is not going to do anything to you guys” and “He just took his medicine.”
