I’m pretty sure the cop, slager, tosses the taser behind him as he is reaching for his sidearm.
I like the conservative tree house, but I think they are wrong here, I think slager shot Scott, or tried to with the taser, maybe they wrestled for it, but it sure looks to me that slager threw the taser behind him as he he reached back and drew his sidearm. It also appears to me that a fired cartridge is trailing after Scott from the the probe wire that is looks to be in his leg. Maybe slager is tangled in a wire I don’t know that.
Also I highly, highly doubt he would have been fired and indicted this quickly, if Scott had actually taken the taser and fired in into slager, if at all.
It’s hard to tell but it doesn’t look to me like Slager threw down the taser. It looks like Scott was the last one to have possession of it. What I don’t find convincing is that the probe is stuck in Slager. I think it’s more likely the wire got tangled around him during the struggle.
