South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder in Black Man's Death

[Raymone]

Here we go again.

A white police officer in North Charleston, S.C., was charged with murder on Tuesday after a video surfaced showing him shooting and killing an apparently unarmed black man in the back while he ran away.

The officer, Michael T. Slager, 33, had said he feared for his life because the man took his stun gun in a scuffle after a traffic stop on Saturday.

I'm usually on the side of authority but that was not necessary.

Well shit. Get ready for another shitstorm if he is found not guilty.

You DID watch the video YOU posted right? It captures the "alleged scuffle" in proper detail

Cops are only half a tier above a security guard. You know how anyone can become a security guard? This is how cops are looked upon now.

My pointing that out doesn't mean I'm saying this killing was justified.

But there is a difference between talking, running, then getting shot and talking, fighting, running, then getting shot.

If you can't tackle an unarmed man to the ground and arrest him, you don't deserve to be a cop.

No, it doesn't. The first 18 seconds of the video aren't filming the two individuals.

When the cameraman finally points it at them at 0:18, the black guy is already running.

It doesn't matter what the **** he did. His back was turned. He was absolutely no threat to the officer and was unarmed. You're a f*ggot. Go back to /pol/
