Yes, Slager deployed his taser against Scott. I don’t dispute that.
At some point Slager reported that Scott grabbed his taser and what you see in the video is consistent with that. The timeline is that they fought, Slager tased Scott, they fought some more, Scott grabbed the spent taser (which was still capable of administering a shock in its direct attack mode or whatever it’s called), then Scott either fumbled or tossed it and it landed a few feet behind Slager.
As for the taser moving, Slager picked it up and moved it from the area where they were fighting to a spot near Scott’s body as seen in the video. To me there’s not much mystery there.

Right...He purposfully corrupted evidence at shooting scene for no reason.
Even is it was a loaded gun they wouldnt move it until it had been photographed as evidence.
The only reason to move the taser was to back up his version of events.
BTW...I could have even believe “hey I screwed up”...until I saw him move the taser...and as a certified pistol instructer I CAN tell you there is nother other reason to try and put 8 shots into center of mass(front or back) other than to kill.
