So sorry, I forgot to check the box indicating this is an excerpt.

In Slager’s initial written report of the incident did he state that he had been actually ‘shot’ with his own taser during the struggle? (I know he said “He GOT my taser”, or something close to that, over his radio). Has the cop’s union or his superiors commented anywhere that Slager had indeed been shot, and ‘stuck’ with the barbs, of his own taser fired at him by Scott? I can’t find anything like that. What a mess.
It’s very clear that Scott and Slager were in combat on the ground with Scott over the officer, Scott got the taser as they rose up and Scott shot the officer with the taser gun. Scott had proven himself to be extremely dangerous and willing to go to extreme degrees to resist arrest. Totally justified shooting.
Regarding the murder charge, SLED is a political office meant to provide cover to the state administration. Slager is getting sacrificed to the wolves to prevent another Ferguson.
Seems like there may have been a struggle and the Taser did not work for some reason.
Looks like the officer and the dead guy are caught in the wire, with device landing behind the officer...
I dunno...

I don’t care about any of these nuances, he said, she said, he did... NO SPECIAL RIGHTS, Hold the officer to the SAME EXACT STANDARDS that any Citizen would be held to.
If a Citizen shot somebody in the BACK while running away after a violent encounter, would he be charged with Murder??
That is the only correct answer.
My question is ........
“When did it become okay to disobey law enforcement?”
—
One area where I would like to see individuals or families not have the right to sue is when they put innocent lives in danger — especially high speed chases.
I am not saying the officer would be innocent. I just don’t like the idea of criminals suing when their breaking the law. Whatever happens to them, ..... happens.
