In the second place, it really doesn't matter if he's Jeffery Dahmer. If all the policemen knows at the time of the altercation is that he's fleeing from a traffic stop, the cop has no reason to fire at a fleeing suspect 35 feet away.
Now the OP has asked me for a citation. OK. He got one. But the burden of proof was on him, not me. Given Scott's history, it's pretty likely he's been rousted several times as a result of an Ex making inflammatory [and probably exaggerated, even untrue] accusations. Was he a loser? Probably. That is not a capital crime. Neither is "resisting."
Police supporters need to learn to pick their battles, or lose all credibility. There is no hill to stand on in this case, not even a falsified history of the murder victim.
I should have been more clear, I’m sorry. By “you” I meant the author of this tripe. Not YOU.
I don’t see any reason to even say Scott was a loser. He served honorably in the Coast Guard. That’s all I know so far.
Fred, you’re a bit warped here. Shimmer1’s post was in support of yours, and you reacted as if Shimmer1 was arguing against you! You also act as if I’m trying to acquit Slager. Read the damned article!
