POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE

[Fry Guy]

I think the cop was charged with murder for shooting an unarmed man in the back multiple times and trying to stage a self-defense scene.

I don't know if the victim was unnecessarily and illegally (IMO) shot and killed because of fear or bias against blacks by Officer Slager, or instead because Slager is untrained, incompetent, and/or highly over-reactive.

But, it's a question that bears asking in this case -- would Slager have fired 8 times at a white man or a brown woman under the exact same circumstances?
In any event, I think the murder charge is appropriate, no matter why Slager chose to use excessive and fatal force.


RIP Walter L. Scott

Oh for fuck sake. Does it also bear asking would the cop have shot a man in the back if the cop was Chinese? Phillipino? Turkish? Australian? Swiss? German? Seriously... That could go on for days. Point is, this cop is a piece of shit and he killed an innocent man in cold blood. We need to take the black and white out of daily conversation. Only then will the divide be conquered. A man with a badge and gun murdered an innocent man. End of story.

Agree.

Not a fan of cops
