Walter Scott shooting

If there was no video, he'd be getting a medal right now for bravery.
 
There was another shooting of a black man by a State Trooper in Columbia a year or so ago. The trooper's dash cam caught it. In this one the trooper got lucky and the man wasn't killed or he would've been facing murder charges too. He was brought up on other charges though.

The officer in the Scott shooting could end up on death row. The video is very damning.
 
I guess the only thing in the cops favor is Scott didn't say 'Hands up, don't shoot.'

Maybe everyone will need to start wearing body cams.
 
That was disgusting.

Cold blooded murder, with an attempted coverup afterwards.

I hope that cop fries in the electric chair.

It's a choice still available for death row inmates here. Most likely he would choose lethal injection. But then, based on recent attempts at that around the country, he may choose the chair as a quicker way to die!
 
Sounds like the right outcome.

Agreed.

He feared for his life

From a man that was fleeing from him...he was super scary... that cop's body language says it all... he was not even phased as he slapped the cuffs on the man who he shot TO DEATH....

More than likely!

It's true. He might have had a heart attack if had to actually chase after him.

That's just LOL

Please pay attention people.

I said...in the news report I heard, he claimed that he feared for his life and thats why he shot the guy....I never said he had a reason to...possibly because thats how all the other cops get away with it and he didn't know the video existed
 
I've watched the video a couple of times, and see the cop run back to the spot where Scott decided to run and pick up something, reported to be his taser, but can't spot where he drops it by the body. I'm curious to see if the other officer sees it, or misses it.
 
The report also stated that he said the guy tried to grab his taser...that could be it....the video got it though....I don't know how he didn't see he was being video'd though
 
In fairness, the video also shows the guy grabbing the cop's Taser.

If the cop thought the guy had his Taser, shooting him might have been justified.

At least that's the song I'd be singin' if I were the cop.

Shooting him when he turns around to use it maybe, but not in the back as he runs away....this is where training kicks in
