One of the things that struck me when I watched the shooting video the first time was the casualness of Officer Slager's movements and actions. He displays no sense of urgency, no sense of confusion, no apparent emotion. Stand, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, then saunter on over to Walter and yell at him to put his hands behind his back. That's how it struck me and it's surreal to watch.
Slager had Walter's car and was running his ID when Walter dashed. It's not like Walter was an unknown suspect running from a murder scene while shooting at police or anything.
Very disturbing that this kinda shit still goes down.
