Wonder what is making the AP take this tack all of a sudden.

[boycott]

Probably just wanting to keep the story alive to pour more gas on the fire.

“Wonder what is making the AP take this tack all of a sudden.”

I was wondering the same thing. I guess the second poster’s remark about pouring more gasoline on the fire must be correct, and this is the only way to do it since the cop was arrested for murder and fired the second the video surfaced. All they can do is pretend there’s some big mystery behind it all.

Scott was more than $17,500 behind in child support—more than $18,000 with court fees—and had been in jail three times over the issue.

Scott was stopped in a used Mercedes-Benz he had purchased days earlier.

“It is possible for something to happen in that gap to significantly raise the officer’s perception of risk,” said Seth Stoughton, a former police officer and criminal law professor at the University of South Carolina.

When the cop tried to plant evidence, he gave up all hope of anyone believing anything he says about what happened.

The murder was caught on tape and the cop was caught trying to put the taser next to the dead guy. Is anyone going to believe anything he says about what happened before he started shooting? Nope.

Look out needle, here we come.

The answer would be to put body cams on all police officers, all the time and the cameras would not have on Off switch.

Still no excuse for a 33 yr old to shoot a 50 yr old while trying to escape vs running him down

This just got more interesting. I wonder if the AP has some info they Re waiting for the perfect time to uh, discover, and report.

[Vendome]

Still not murder and he is being overcharged.

It is manslaughter and be should have been charged as such.

[deport]

ANYONE........

Has anyone seen, read, heard of what happened to the other person that was in
Scott’s car? I’ve not seen any mention of that person in all these articles, etc.
That person should have been involved to the extent of questioning, etc.

My lying eyes told my brain that when I saw an unarmed fleeing suspect (who could have easily died of a heart attack), shot in the back five times, my brain said end of story...oh, the tampering with the crime scene made my brain shut down.
