Yeah, it’s hard to tell from the video stills what’s going on with the taser wires and the barbs.
I don’t see how overweight and 51 matter much. A chubby 51 year old can beat the stew out of you. And if he’s got your taser he can tase you, take your gun, then kill you. That’s why Slager decided to shoot him. His mistake wasn’t his initial decision to shoot Scott, it was his failure to change course when the situation changed.
Bingo. It will come down to the psychological tunnel-vision of not being able to reel back in his shoot/don’t shoot decision in the chaotic flux of life and death. The state had better give jurors the option of lesser charges or Slager walks.
