Cops are not a privileged class (maybe at the donut shop, but at least not above the law). The police are charged with and are responsible for the safety of ALL. When an individual breaks the law assaulting that officer and is possibly going to endanger others, including the cop, the cop is REQUIRED to STOP the criminal regardless of what it takes. The rightful assumption being that if the perp got away he would likely cause harm to others, not suddenly turn into model citizen.

Slager caused the assault by pursuing Scott for the "crime" of "contempt of cop".

Slager had Scott's details, his car, and his passenger.

He just didn't have Scott's "respect", and he was going to By God get it, even if he had to kill Scott.

Effing peasant, anyway.

Just a quick note to the Police Staters:

This country was founded on Defiance of Authority.
