The DOJ cannot sue for monetary compensation, as they have not been harmed.
Stress, the officer is clearly under an enormous amount of stress
And again you are screaming, making false assertions as well as not paying attention. :dohAll we could hear was you screaming some childish bigoted right-wing claptrap about Blacks, which likely came from your teacher rush.
Here's a new reading assignment. . .
As Jim Calhoun once said, "Get some facts and come back and see me."
This is a horrible and attrocious situation. Absolutely hope he's convicted of Murder if nothing counters the evidence provided currently (which I can't imagine anything that would).
Two points:
1. I agree with pretty much everyone who believes this officer should suffer the consequences of his actions and be punished to the full extent of the law, period.
2. I can't help but find it sad and hypocritical that many of the same people posting here who frequently want to chime in that not all Muslims are terrorists, freely and vociferously are now claiming that all cops are murders like this one and the only difference is that they don't all get video taped in the act of murder.
It's irrelevant what we think. The SC legal system will let the cop walk.
Does it really matter what happened before? An unarmed man fleeing is not a threat that justifies lethal force.based upon the 30 second video cnn posted this morning, this cop is guilty as hell
but...i still want to know a few things
what happened up to "that" point......cnn video show black guy running and officer firing 7-8 shots at his back
is there video from before that? i know a taser was involved...i saw the wires....is that video available?
unless there are MAJOR mitigating circumstances of which i am not aware yet, this cop is guilty of murder
and it should be an easy case....
so my question is....are there other circumstances of which i am not aware?
Stress, the officer is clearly under an enormous amount of stress and trauma after the gangster attempted to kill him then thought better of it and ran to live to kill another day. When these poor little innocent people are pulled over by law enforcements what part of cooperate do they always fail to understand? Drop all charges and again it is simply another instance of law breaker s refusing to cooperate with the simplest of requests.
How many posters here have refused to cooperate with a police officer?
How many have ran ?
How many have attempted to disarm a police officer?
Drop all charges today.

Wrong. To qualify as a civilian, one must be unaffiliated w/any kind of military role, regardless of whether that military is called the "police force" of the national military.
Since US cops are already militarized, they serve in a military role and are therefore not civilians.

Convicting a cop of murder in a state like SC is impossible w/outside legal/financial pressure.
It may be important.I am asking you, as apparently you think it is to include it.

This why black people are screamin about cops!
Video Shows Officer Michael Slager Shooting Unarmed Black Man In The Back In South Carolina
As it says, he's been arrested and charged with murder. As should be.
Cops in SC rarely, if ever, get convicted for murder when they commit it--this is a well-documented fact.
For all practical purposes, they have a license to kill any non-White person they want at anytime.
But this should be a no-brainer, because when a cop is on trial, both the prosecuting attorney and the cop's public defender work to exonerate the cop, both prior to and during a trial.
Whereas when a civilian is on trial, only the civilian's (private) defense attorney(s) works to exonerate him/her, while the prosecution aims for a guilty verdict.
i'm pretty sure cops are trained to say "he reached for my gun", as this cop did.
That officer is a scumbag.
It's irrelevant what we think. The SC legal system will let the cop walk.
In addition to trailing wires, it also looks as though he tosses the Taser to his right immediately prior to drawing his pistol.Man I'll say. The video on CBS This Morning did show a taser line, so something happened, but the guy ran away in slow motion and that cop could have easily caught him. He's gone. And YOU KNOW that that video is making all the rounds at police shift meetings.
In this case there is damning video.
Big difference.
