Yes, it looks more like manslaughter. Again, this does not necessarily exonerate the cop. More evidence is needed.

But I'm amazed at the numbers of people on this forum (and other conservatives) who are ready to throw Slager to the wolves before examining all the evidence and circumstances.

The facts are the suspect did not surrender peacefully. He engaged in a struggle with the cop, took his weapon, and looks like tasered him. It's certainly not a case where the cop just walked up to the guy and shot him. White or black (and they're making this a national case because of color), if I assault a cop, I shouldn't be surprised if I get shot.

I’ve learned from the Martin and Brown cases to wait a bit before condemning a man.
