Note the fanny pack and hat he’s wearing that isn’t seen at the end. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of those is what’s on the ground in front of Slager later.

The family says he’d bought it, so it could just be tragic coincidence that he just happened to give the kind of responses thieves give when nabbed. It’s always “my friend’s car”, or my (choose relative)’s car”, or “I just bought it, but we haven’t done the paperwork yet”. That would have made Slager suspicious, and the guy running off is just the kind of thing that would have convinced him he was chasing a fleeing felon.

He ran for a reason, figure that out and the whole story may change.

A fifty year old is not going to run for long.
He was running in the direction that the backup officer came from.
Unnecessary shooting.
The cop is done and the town will not be satiated easily.

I am trying to keep out of this whole thing but, is it just in the movies that police have to yell for you to stop and fire into the air first?

The ones that run away are deadly threats.

The ones that stand still are well-disciplined, deadly threats.

The possibility that the car might be hot also crossed my mind.

We don’t know all the facts yet. The time between the dash cam video and the cell phone video maybe crucial. I heard one news report that there was a struggle within that time frame.

Given the the police chief and mayor have already found him guilty is damming though.

I haven't seen anything indicating that.

I'm usually on the side of law enforcement but I can't see any reason for this killing. What I see is a police officer who has let the situation get to him psychologically and the heat of the moment has compromised his judgment......he is supposed to be trained not to let that happen..Unfortunately that is not a defense and like the rest of us he will have to pay for that mistake.
