Nothing unusual in the video

So you feel it is a common occurrence for a man, pulled over for a routine traffic violation, to jump out of the car and run for no apparent reason?

The cop was being very polite and professional in what is seen on this video. The other one, well, not so much.

Just to make sure: If the cop did in fact drop the Taser on the ground by the body, he is guilty of a crime and should go to prison.

He was guilty of murder period IMO.

From my vast experience...watching ...yes.

The only time he raised his voice was the first time Scott opened the door and stood up.

As far as planting evidence is concerned, I've seen video of Slager dropping the taser on the ground but he later picks it up and puts it on his belt. I don't know if that was planting evidence or just dropping it on the ground and picking it back up due to adrenaline. That will all be in the report he filed and what the second officer filed when he showed up.

It was a routine stop up to the time that Scott bolted. He must not have run very far or fast, since the cop was able to catch him and use his taser.
