I'm quite familiar with the Conservative Treehouse.
They did yeoman work in the Trayvon Martin dustup.
I think they're on the wrong track with this one, though.

License plate numbers aren't "details" in South Carolina?
Who knew...?
Do you think Slager had enough time to develop a profile on Scott before Scott began to run away, marking him as guilty of *something* (God knows what)?
Given the question of the ownership of the vehicle, I’d say the safest assumption the cop could make at that moment is, “Holy crap - the reason he didn’t have insurance and registration is because he stole the car! Now he’s running!”
Again - that’s because the ONLY time Slager had was to make assumptions. Not enough time to figure out Scott’s life story from his license plate number.
