On the first day we saw the North Charleston, South Carolina, shooting video of Walter Scott by Officer Michael Slager we were as shocked as everyone. However, as research now indicates there is much more to the story.
What we cover here in the latest update might just change the entire way the story continues…
(Excerpt) Read more at theconservativetreehouse.com ...
Slager may have believed in space aliens as well. Doesn’t make it true.
Hey genius, Scott’s body is a different body than Slager’s body. Can you even READ??
To-may-to, to-mah-to.
Nonsense, it was NEVER going to be 1st degree, and 2nd degree was full of holes; voluntary manslaughter looked likely but now all bets are off.
Yes we did..it was obvious Scott had wires coming off him in the Phone video posted.
And taser darts are a one shot deal...a taser doesnt have a magazine that shoots multiple darts...
So it’s even worse for the officer becuase there is no way Scott had the taser when he was shot in the back.
Can’t you people read? You think Scott and Slager are the same person or something??? Sheesh
No matter how you slice it, he shot the guy in the back, while he was posing no threat.
I cannot shoot someone running away from me. That was drilled into our heads.
Where did you get that his report has been released? IT HASN’T
Gosh, it's almost as if the officer was supported by the facts all along. What a surprise. Thanks IChing.
Do you know what mens rea is? Do you know ANYTHING about the law?
Thanks for the information. I’m still content to see how much more comes out about this case.
After the last 3 trumped up events I no longer even believe I can take a position until we have a trial for the media first. Once we finally get the truth we can work on the actual case at hand.
goofy click bait. You don’t shoot people in the back, unless they are armed and threatening.
Did you not see the first comment? I already notified admin mod
“30 years in law enforcement”
oh...I get it.
Blood is thicker than water....and blue is thicker than blood.
Ok, I stand corrected on the charges. My post was all out of whack in that regard. I apologize.
Nevertheless, the shooting itself wasn’t just bad police procedure and seriously flawed human judgement. It fell into the category of a criminal act.
Parts have been released - the crap about how Slayer Slager tried to give CPR for example. If there was anything about him being shot with a tazer then we'd know about it.
Defend shooting unarmed suspects all you want. Your boy is going down, probably on a murder two charge.
BTW....as an ex cop you know a taser is a one shot weapon...once the taser darts are fired the cartridge has to be replaced and can only be used in “drive stun” mode....
So are you claiming the Mr Scott somehow had a spare cartidge on him for some reason?
Hey, genius, READ — Slager, not Scott. What is wrong with you people?? Everyone has dyslexia, and thinks Slager and Scott are the same person or word?
Furthermore, some tasers are multiple cartridge, not to mention even after expended can still deliver a contact jolt.
Maybe you missed it but this article says it was the cop with the darts in him.
