Will there be an epidemic of people running from car stops?

Not patrol car video. Private citizen video. I guess we’ll have to wait to see if the video was edited, and whether any weapons were found on the dead man.

Yes, there is a weapon -- you can clearly see the taser being planted near the body.

What's amazing is that they aren't all being charged with murder and conspiracy.

Once again, we have video that shows only the outcome of the incident, not the provocation. There was apparently a struggle, officer deployed a taser, guy wrestled the taser away from him, THEN ran away. The left’s paid trolls are already inventing all kinds of additional allegations and busily peddling them, including claims of evidence planting that exists only in their fevered imaginations.

The only issue here is whether the use of force was proportional to the threat, and on first examination, the threat was reduced when the guy started running away, and no justification for using deadly force AT THAT POINT is evident. Which is not to say that one couldn’t emerge upon further investigation.

Scott died Saturday after Patrolman 1st Class Michael Slager, 33, shot him in the back.

Yeah, 8 times.

Great......here we go. The NAACP and local NAN affiliate have been itching for a local scandal going nation wide for a very long time. Now us locals have to put up with the press and other BS that is going to come along with this mess.

This is very bad. No justification I can see for the shooting.

He shot him in the back, all right.

Nice group, but I’m afraid it was a bad shoot.

Good explanations of why this officer was probably justified in the shooting: http://forums.officer.com/t199100/
