Here we go again but this time the police officer A white South Carolina police officer was arrested and charged with murder Tuesday after video showed him fatally shooting a fleeing, unarmed black man in the back.
He was pulled over for a broken taillight! There was a small scuffle you can see in the video. When Walter started to run the officer assumed a shooting stance “not chasing him” and then shot 50 year old Walter Scott in the back!!!
North Charleston Police Officer Michael T. Slager, 33
Walter was a 50 year old man running away, really!? That’s just Wrong!
North Charleston Police Officer Michael T. Slager, 33, can be seen shooting 50-year-old Walter Scott after a confrontation on Saturday, according to The Post and Courier. The cop was 33 he could have tackled him!
Slager chases Scott and shoots at him eight times in the video recorded by a passerby and obtained by The New York Times. Sometimes cell phone videos can tell the whole story
Scott died there, though it wasn’t clear if he died immediately. It was probably after he muscled him around to cuff the old guy.
The graphic video raises questions about Slager’s original assertion that he used his gun because he felt endangered. From a 50 year old man running away? Yeah, endanger of have to actually run after him.
Was he wrong? Leave your answer in the comments!
