No. He didn't.

Excerpt of excerpt:
"Summey said Scott was hit with the officer's Taser weapon, and they know that, Summey said, because one of the Taser projectiles was still attached...Officer Slager then deployed his Taser weapon to detain the driver but was unsuccessful, a spokesperson for the police department said..."

A couple things.

The cop discharged the Taser at Scott. If they grappled over it the thing was useless against the cop as a Taser unless the Taser was reloaded with another cartridge. Granted, it could still be used as a stun gun but only in close proximity.

The last is that ‘assault on a police officer’ is a boilerplate “contempt of cop” charge. It’s not unusual for a cop to charge someone with ‘assault’ after they hit the officer’s fist with their face.

Meaning that to me that charge is meaningless as a justification for summary execution.

As to the man fleeing the police? The facts would lend themselves to stating that fleeing the police is probably a prudent course of action in some parts of this country where the cops are liable to shoot you and then make sh*t up to justify murder.

where did you read all that as those details were not in the article?

Scant details in the article other than the fact he ran away from a police officer. What are the rules of engagement for a police officer when they stop someone and the person runs away - shoot them? just asking

the video was edited and does not show what happened BEFORE the guy runs away. so it is hard to get the full story.

That settles it - we have been inundated with leftists who haven't yet discovered they are leftists. The ability to make up "facts" out of thin air because they fit their meme, and then espouse the lies as actual facts is the first clue.
