If you watch the cop while he's shooting, and listen to the smoothness of the shots....he's very deliberate and steady. I think it's unlikely he was hit by taser darts.
Meh. I'm not saying that is what happens. But you would be surprised. If it didn't penetrate his skin, or if it didn't deploy. The x26 can act as a stun gun too. Pain compliance. Like being hit with a cattle prod. Training can make deliberate shots.
Wow
based off the video this Cop is guilty
race is a sub topic
cops in general is a sub topic
THIS cop, THIS guy is guilty and should go to jail if not get the chair himself
Whats worse about these situations is many will now pick sides between race and judge all cops based on this cop etc etc.
Im with Goshin on this, just another reason why body cams should be gaining large support and be mandatory in usage.
I will leave it to the courts to decide.
And I will remind people that it is innocent until proven guilty.
Yes. Wanna bet on it?
The law says police CAN shoot unarmed fleeing suspects but only if they represent a clear and present danger to society. Example would be a serial rapist, murderer or someone that if they were able to escape there is a reasonable expectation that they could cause someone else harm.there's no defending this one. a police officer is not allowed to shoot an unarmed fleeing suspect eight times in the back.
What the ****. What do you consider resistance? Running away?

Tell that to the guy who got shot in the back....
I tried to 'Like" your comment but for some reason every time I did, my computer went to the blue screen of death. So...
Good points.
Well, don't run. Pretty simple. You have warrants, man up and comply.

Initial Police reports said that officers performed CPR and delivered first aid to Mr. Scott.
That in itself is disturbing. They did no such thing. Disgraceful.

That is clearly not the case in this instance though.

And you Brits really seem to enjoy having among the very highest rates of crime, assault, and violent crime among industrialized nations. Go figure.US law enforcement is clearly out of control but they and the public seem to like it that way.

Too many TV cop shows I guess. Go figure

The rate of cops being murdered this year is UP 56% so screw the losers that try to resist -shoot first and ask later.
Though it appears from the video that the cop was not justified in the shoot,.........running from a cop for any reason?,.......STUPID.
Body cams on cops are 100% worthless. The police depts. would just doctor the body cam videos or else the cops would turn off the cams and/or censor specific footage.
In the event body cam videos were available for the public to see, there would be huge discrepancies in the video picked up by those cams and those picked up by bystander cameras and/or cell phones.
Unlikely.The jurors may decide that the wires trailing from Slager to Scott are significant enough to answer the question of to what degree--if any--the Taser affects the situation.
Considering the angle and force of the thrown object in connection with the movement of the Officers hands. Unlikely.Jurors could decide that Slager is seen casting something to his right just before he draws his firearm. They may determine that this is Slager dropping the Taser so that he can draw his firearm.
:naughtyThe best case for Slager is that jurors decide a reasonable person would see the fleeing Scott as a grave and imminent threat to the officer
Yes you did.I have made nothing up, the facts are obvious:
1. the man was not a danger to the officer
2. the officer gunned an unarmed man down in the back with 8 shots fired
The man did something wrong and needs to be prosecuted to the proper extend of the law for his crimes.
Nothing in the above quote refutes what you quoted.No, what is "illogical" is blame this officer for all the other black unarmed men gunned down by the police, or making this in Ferguson 2.0 because that would be illogical, sending death threats to the officer/his family/attacking fellow officers, shooting at those officers, etc. etc. etc. That is illogical/logic going out the window.but in that case there cannot be anything on the side of the police officer. What he did is clearly illegal and not defendable in any way shape or form.
Yeah, it seems logic seems go out the door when this kind of discussion is going on
:doh
Which you just confirmed in the quote above this one.
What is also illogical is doing like this is not a case of un-warranted deadly force to an unarmed and totally and utterly none dangerous person. Trying to make excuses like "we don't know what he did before" when what he did before is not a reason for gunning someone down in the back like that with 8 bullets. The man was a non-violent person who had not paid his child support and had a broken window.
There are far too many arrest warrants issued IMHO for things that do not warrant them. Child support is not a case that should be so insane that people go to jail for it in the manner that is happening now. It is important to take non-paying dead beat parents (look, I said parents because not paying your child support has to be seen as gender-neutral) but not with all those arrest warrants and jail time. Make him work for his "offense" of non-payment. Make him do something useful.
Illogical is also defending police officers in cases where defending them is totally illogical. No competent police officer should do such a thing as has happened here (in a case like this one).
One cannot logically explain why this officer did something so senseless and deadly, it cannot be justified and it should be punished in accordance with the law.
