yea, I saw how much danger he was in from a 45 year old overweight black man was running away from him when he decided to shoot him in the back several times. I wonder if he was thinking ‘’hell yes, my first kill” while he was pausing for a moment to square up properly for the final and fatal shot.
Danger?
The real danger came earlier when he and Scott were in a fight and Scott had the tazer. And used it on Slager.
Now was that justification to shoot a fleeing man 8 times in the back?
I say it partially justifies it. It explains it. I’ll even say that fact and the fact Slager lied about the incident is proof enough that he is guilty.
But 20 years guilty?
Excessive.
