Complaints are accusations, the discuss seen by the chief, the quickness to charge, it doesn't seem likely that you can accurately jump to racism, though I know you want to.
What other shooting? Do you have a link?
I never said he was a racist. And yes S.C. Officer Justin Craven Faces Felony Charge For Fatally Shooting Unarmed Black Man In His Driveway
So fired, had to pay a million bucks and is now facing manslaughter charges? Not sure what you are trying to prove here.
Just making a point. I asked at the opening if the video validated anything that black folks have been yelling about and apparently it does.
Yes, I agree, they didn't show that. That doesn't change the fact that the police went beyond the necessary force to neutralise him, had King thrown them around like tenpins and then ran off, they'd have been wrong to shoot him in the back. If I confront a burglar in my home in the middle of the night, we have a struggle and he runs off out the back door and I shoot him in the back, I'm charged, just as this cop has been. Why do you think this cop has been charged with murder, and so quickly? Furthermore, knowing, KNOWING that he had done wrong, he retraced his steps retrieving the taser and then dropped it next to the guy to provide alibi!!
We don't know yet. That video was about the 4th Act of a 4 Act Play. The guy who shot the vid, has stated when he first saw the confrontation, (before he started filming) the two were on the ground wrestling for what he thought was the tazer. And that was probably the 3rd Act in the Play.
What a joke!!!!
Do you really think after the beatings the respective Chiefs took in Ferguson and NY in the media/public, this Chief would act objectively!??!!??! Really!??!!?! LOL.
Unless it is absolutely obvious it was a justified shoot, the lesson learned is for Chiefs to cover their own a$$es. From now on the cop is guilty until proven innocent, just like in Ferguson.
All that said, this cop is going to jail at least on a man-slaughter charge.
The chief could have put the guy on desk duty until "all the information is released" as they tend to do. No, it was clear this officer killed in cold blood and planted evidence immediately after. I don't know the chief or what motivated him, I can only go by what was reported.
How exactly did Ferguson PD make Darren Wilson appear guilty?
Hope its 2nd degree murder but I agree, it will probably be manslaughter.
Thank God for that video though. Without it he probably would have been acquitted (if charges were ever brought against him).
What you think saw and reality are two separate things.I don't care if he threw a live grenade at the officers feet.
Does not justify what I saw on that video.
:dohExplain to me what could justify shooting a fleeing man in the back.
Irrelevant.Video shows the guy dead or dying on the ground for about a minute without any indication CPR was even tried - the officer who shot the man simply handcuffed him face down, and the next officer on the scene just keeled by the handcuffed man/body and looked at it.
Anyone who tried to perform CPR after that scene is ****ing disturbing, unless of course there's a specific requirement that someone try even if the person is obviously dead.
White folks get shot by police too.
again, this is a policing issue, not a race issue.
James Clyburn blames this on voter ID laws and stand your ground laws....
Wow
Oh I don't know about that
The autopsy in this case would have shown that he actually was shot in the back 8 times.
Wut??
Lol !!
Yea I just heard hom tie this shooting to " legislating " like Voter Id and Stand your ground laws.
Which is why I think there would have been an investigation. But, in the end, by planting the taser next to the body he could argue the man was armed and therefore a threat. I could definitely see a jury acquitting him if it got as far as a trial.

Cops are not civilians; they're armed agents of the local govt. Armed govt. agents should never have the same rights as the People. To allow them the same rights compromises freedoms.
Or beaten to death, like in the case of Kelly Thomas.
Racism is a major problem within our police departments.
:dohA man running from you with no weapons is not a danger to you or anybody else and shooting him down like this is illegal, unlawful, immoral and wrong, wronger and totally and utterly devoid of any defensibility whatsoever.
Has this been confirmed, or are you still operating on what you want to believe?But walking back, picking up the tazer and throwing it beside the dying man,
Yes really.Really? Because from what I just read in Tennessee v. Garner from 1985 the SCOTUS held the opinion upright that:the SCOTUS has upheld that police are justified in shooting a fleeing suspect.
This case requires us to determine the constitutionality of the use of deadly force to prevent the escape of an apparently unarmed suspected felon. We conclude that such force may not be used unless it is necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.

Dude!!!!!!! He's been charged with MURDER, by the guys holding the evidence. Never mind that he was black. If this was the same video but the man was White, the pos cop is a murderer. And he's been charged with murder because of it.
Kelly Thomas was not beaten to death.Or beaten to death, like in the case of Kelly Thomas.
True, but even a jury would have a hard time believing a taser that's how many feet away is an imminent threat.
And the number of shots he took would also work against him.
I don't disagree about ferguson,
but you can't apply one to all.
