“I thought you meant he had the taser and ran away with it. I can’t see like I used to, but I could see the taser wires in the video that I saw. Also I saw it lying on the ground almost in front of Slager.”
what Slager walked back and picked up is the thing that is bouncing on the ground behind him after he loses hold of the taser
Slager doesn’t just have responsibility for himself, he’s also responsible for people who might be harmed if he lets Scott run.
If Slager can convince the jury that he thought Scott had his taser, that would be a huge step for him.
i think it will depend mostly on how truthful Slager was in his statement. we have a video to check everything he says
now, we are supposed to believe that Slager’s statement was all lies. but that is being leaked from the same place that gave us the CPR fiasco.
for the CPR, the NYT “listened” to the recording but portions of the officer’s statements were leaked to the NYT to put not just Slager, but the whole dept in the worse possible light
let’s just wait and see what Slagers statement really said.
