S. Carolina officer charged w/ murder of a black man after video footage released

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

1. can you give me a source?
2. what is the guy in the video a suspect of? what is he suspected of?
thanks

1. look up any legal precedence. Sure, cops can't just use their guns willy nilly, but repeated fleeing, fighting with the cop and etc has been used to justify a few shootings here and there. Especially under the perception you're a danger to society. It stopped being a "simple traffic stop" once Scott ran. We need to understand this

2. I didn't say he was suspected of something. But no matter who you are, you don't run FROM COPS unless you appear to have something to hide. Especially during a benign traffic stop. Cops watch videos of traffic stops gone wrong and Scott just jumps out the car confirming all their fears from training...

Should Slager have shot Scott?

No.

Do I think Slager felt that Scott elevated the threats to all parties present? Yes.

And its not truly known if Slager though Scott was unarmed. Not brandishing a weapon doesn't mean you're therefore unarmed.

This is why I say dudes have to stop giving cops a reason to even escalate the use of force. Scott would be alive if he hadn't run. Arrested? Maybe. Alive? More than likely.

this case won't be about what we see, lawyers won't be in the court room saying, "just look at the video". Napoleon is right, these are the tough questions that will be asked in court, the groundwork has already been laid to create reasonable doubt in the minds of potential jurors. this shyt isn't about what we see with our eyes but rather "ladies and gentlemen of the jury, just imagine you were officer Slager..."

reasonable doubt of what exactly?

since you wrote it in red and large fonts and called people stupid, I'm gonna assume you know what you are talking about
your tone is definitely authoritative

okay, and?

why not?

1st Degree implies planning and overt desire to kill

Slager deployed a taser, pursued a suspect, and fought with the suspect.

He (wrongly) escalated to using his weapon under the perception of having no other options to apprehend the suspect.

If slager was just about to kill someone in a premeditated fashion, he'd not even have used the taser or gotten close enough to fight with Scott.

Do you not realize that this isn't 1st degree murder?

It SHOULD be 2nd degree, not 1st degree. But cac privilege will have him being convicted of manslaughter at the most, if at all.

AGAIN, provide a case that supports your argument. You are repeating the same shyt with evidence
You are following the media deflection attempt and trying to present it as your personal views

The media matters.

if we want to have a rally for Eric Garner and all the INTERNATIONAL media talks about is Sharpton being an ambulance chaser and wasting precious TV time doing so, then Sharpton is a distraction.

Period

no I'm not looking up anything, it's your claim, you look it up
and yes you for your claim to be relevant th victim has to be a suspect, this is axiomatic
unless you just taking that shyt

sorry that's not a reason to shoot someone, especially by cops
try again
we did this already in this thread
you too late

reasonable doubt of what exactly?

that the officer really believed he was in fear for his life in the moment he shot and killed Walter Scott.

Cut the passive aggressive shyt out though.

he's absolutely correct.

the DA is out here throwing these hard to prove charges just so the cop has an EASIER chance of getting off instead of lesser charges that are more easy to prove.

Ya'll should have learned from Trayvon

 

[Matt504]

When was this?

not sure exactly when but obviously within the last few months.

If you don't realize that they have OVERCHARGED this officer with 1st-Degree Murder then you are a fukkING IDIOT. They need to LESSEN the charges to PLANTING EVIDENCE, MANSLAUGHTER, and DISCHARGING HIS GUN or some other shyt like that , but NOT 1st-Degree MURDER.

Black people, STOP BEING STUPID! Jesus FUKKING Christ!

Do you personally want this man to do life in prison. Like do you think that would in a perfect world be a fair punishment.

uhh...yeah it is.

Cops shoot fleeing suspects all the time under the legal protection that they presume the fleeing person has the ability to serve as a threat to the community.

That doesn't mean Scott was one at the moment.

The fact you don't understand this shows a blatant disrespect for existing legal proceedings.

 

[tmonster]

Do I think Slager felt that Scott elevated the threats to all parties present?

what threat did scott create or elevate by running away?
if the cop ran the other way would the threat to scott have been elevated as well?

good god, you done fukked up breh...you bout to get dragged all over this thread

Life?

I don't know.

Cause to say Slager ain't try to arrest a fleeing suspect isn't true either.

It was a bad decision and deserves serious punishment, but its not 1st degree murder either.
