So that makes it ok to shoot the driver?
Huh? Who said anything about an potential drug connection justifying shooting the driver? NOT ME!
But, if Scott and passenger were involved in a drug transaction, it might explain the flight from Slager. Please notice my speculative “IF”. I do not claim that this is the cause, but it is reasonable to wonder why he decided to flee from a minor traffic offense, wrestle with the officer, try to grab his taser, etc.
Some of you people appear to miss the whole picture of this tragedy in a desire to reach a premature “ejaculative” conclusion. Sorry about how I see your eagerness to render a verdict, but it is how it comes across.
One man lost his life, and another lost his career, might be in jail, could lose many years of love and support to his family and unborn child, while all of you “hang ‘em high” folks are salivating for mob justice, without all the evidence is in, and before the case has been tried in a court of law.
Shame on you for that, and for attacking those of us who disagree with your rush to justice.
I have been here for many years, and am appalled at how low we have fallen in our discourse. I guess it is the downside of success, but will go out on a limb and posit that FR will eventually fail if we abandon reason for emotional band-wagons.
