Not sure why he would say that the suspect took his taser when in the video footage he went back to the spot where he shot from, picked up the taser, then threw the taser next to the dead body to make it appear the suspect had it, weird.

It's hard to see who's dropping the tazer at the start of the video. If they suspect did, it's possible the cop didn't realize he'd dropped it, shot him, saw it back where they started, knew how it would look, and planted it. But honestly, that's not a defense, just a theory.

When cops shoot someone and it's not justified, they are generally charged with crimes. The problem is when it's justified and the media reports differently based on bad information and conjecture.

Do you think without the video footage in this particular case it would have been deemed justified?

Not sure. You'd have a hard time justifying a dead guy with a whole bunch of holes in his back 30 feet from where you're shooting, who the evidence would show was running away, tazer or not.

Oh so this cop was wrongfully charged?  Maybe im misunderstanding your take on this particular case. 

 

Go backarrow-10x10.png and read the context.  :)

 

You said that it might not happenarrow-10x10.png in SC but would happenarrow-10x10.png in Ferguson

 

With that in mind, the facts didn't stop them (in Ferguson) from protesting the first, second or third times (even after the officerarrow-10x10.png was exonerated) so why would the facts in this case (officer already arrested and charged) stop them this time.

With this justice system he'll be out real soon and have his badge back with the backing of his comrades. 

 

Do you really believe that?

 

I hang around a lot of white people, a few are racist, some don't realize they are racist, and some are not at all.....but none of them would let a white guy off the hook for killing anyone because of their color. That is just crazy talk. It's 2015

Actually I would be willing to bet money he gets close to max sentence.....

 

Will all the publicity this is going to get, he does not have a chance.....

 

Just like the poor officer in Ferguson.....he got a life sentence and was innocent.

@MichaelSkolnik: Michael Slager, the cop who killed Walter Scott, has been fired.  Chief has ordered a body cam for every cop in department.

 

 

@justinjm1: Michael Slager's attorney speaks: I dumped him as soon as I saw the video http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/08/exclusive-michael-slager-s-attorney-dumped-him-as-soon-as-he-saw-video.html http://twitter.com/justinjm1/status/585860270167293954/photo/1

 

 

 

@cnnbrk: North Charleston mayor says more video exists in shooting of Walter Scott; he hasn't seen it all. http://CNN.it/go

An operating body cam. There was a shooting in STL and Colorado that made headlines because the officers were wearing body cams but the cameras were not working, or so they said.


I do a lot of ridealongs with tvc, and officers are constantly trying to fix cameras and body mics that are malfunctioning. For whatever that's worth to you.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
