I agree that Slager didn’t get tased. But apparently Scott did fight with him and seems to have taken the taser from him. That is what reframes the situation. If you’re willing to do that, you’re a potential threat to other people. I don’t know if it fully justifies what Slager did, but it muddies things up enough that I’ll be surprised if the murder charge sticks.
I can’t seem to locate officer Slager’s action report. There are a few others, but not from anyone present when things hit the fan.
Can somebody hook me up with a link?
There was nobody else around so who was he a potential threat too?
