Sick. Saddened. Furious. Hope this murderer spends the rest of his life in prison and gets beaten up every day. This guy is a scumbag. Worst of the worst. He deserves the death penalty.
Not only is he a murderer, a coward who shot an unarmed man in the back; he's also a liar who tried planting false evidence on the victim.
A white North Charleston police officer was arrested on a murder charge after a video surfaced Tuesday of the lawman shooting eight times at a 50-year-old black man as the man ran away.
Walter L. Scott, a Coast Guard veteran and father of four, died Saturday after Patrolman 1st Class Michael T. Slager, 33, shot him in the back.
Five of the eight bullets hit Scott, his family’s attorney said. Four of those struck his back. One hit an ear.
The 9th Circuit Solicitor’s Office will prosecute the murder charge that carries from 30 years to life in prison.
With Scott more than 10 feet from Slager, the officer draws his pistol and fires seven times in rapid succession. After a brief pause, the officer fires one last time. Scott’s back bows, and he falls face first to the ground near a tree.
Slager soon jogs back to where he fired his gun and picks up something from the ground. He walks back to Scott’s body and drops the object.
During the 21/2 minutes after the shooting until the end of the video, the backup officer lifts up Scott’s shirt to check his wounds. But no one immediately starts CPR.
The police have said, though, that they tried desperately to save Scott until paramedics showed up.
Liars. The video proves it. No one tried doing anything to save him.
What if this bystander hadn't been there or hadn't filmed the murder and attempted coverup?
I'll put a lot of money if that video wasn't recorded, the cop would've gotten away with cold-blooded murder.
