cop's saying the guy took his taser and shot him with it, evidence still looks pretty daming either way

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

I'm sure the cop would say anything to cover his ass, shooting that guy running away in the back is one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen. There's no way the cop could have felt threatened it that situation, at very most he could have fired just a warning shot.

Suddenly I am feeling lucky that I'm living a country where guns have been banned, there are many reason that U.S can't ban the guns, but the truth is guns do bring harm.



In your country cops do not have guns? How lucky you are...

The worst part is if the bystander didn't come forward with the video, this cop would have gotten away with murder. He was only charged because video showed his version of the events to be fabricated.

Body cams. Every cop, no exceptions.

If you watch the video closely after he shoots him he walks away, then comes  back and plants the taser on the vicitm,

This is flat out murder, it really makes you wonder about all those times police say it was self defense when they blast another guy.

Im glad they charged him but it will be suprising if the charges stick.

There has been plenty of cases of cops doing severe crimes and beating then being aquitted.

Even if that is the case, the cop shouldn't have shot the victim. Tasers are rarely fatal. The policemen should have chased the victim and caught him instead of just shooting him. I believe they receive training for these sort of incidents before they join the police force.

One thing I don't understand is, why shoot the guy 8 god damn times. Even if he did have a taser, which he did not. I watched the video and Jamba is right the cop plants the taser on him. But seriously the guy is running away, if you did have to shoot why not leg him or shoot him once? Why unload a clip into the guy? Even if he had a taser the guy is like 25+feet and running wouldnt a single shot do the job?

Either he's a racist, hothead, or sociopath. He wanted that guy dead. It was straight up murder and he tried to get away with it by planting the taser by the victim's side.

Ideally, he should have chased him on foot or called for additional backup. The guy was old and heavy; he was not moving very fast when he was shot.

The worst part of it all is, we have been paying this psychos paycheck to kill and imprison us, were going to pay for the civil case and the millions this guys family recieves(deserved), were going to pay millions for the court case and on top of that if he is convicted were going to pay atleast a million jailing the guy.

Well the worst part is there is a dead guy and another life destroyed, everything else is just money and can be replaced.

Thank you for not sending browny points, much appreciated.

News:

The shootings have stirred debate across the country about police conduct and race relations, also drawing into the discussion President Barack Obama, who an aide said has seen the Scott video. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice are investigating Scott's shooting, which has drawn strong reaction from political leaders and on social media.

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, along with U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, all Republicans, decried the shooting, with both senators releasing statements calling the video "horrific."

Really? It makes me feel happy that the cops are not the only ones with guns.
That video shows a clear case of murder. There is no situation where it is legal to shoot a fleeing unarmed person. In fact, if someone with a CCW had been there, he/she would have been justified to shoot the cop dead as he shot at the suspect. The cops here are not our superiors, I see them as back-up for when I can't handle a criminal by myself.

It hurts to watch the video, as he kill him with nothing more, helpless, he should receive life imprisonment

Luckily someone recorded everything, it is a clear proof of his crime

why the fuck must they bring race into it? was the killing of eric garner with the black female sergeant on the scene about race or the shooting of that french homeless guy by a black cop? any time its a white person doing wrong it must be racial.

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

More importantly it is illegal to shoot some one in the back as they are running away in most states (if not all) because it demonstrates clearly they were not in an active attempt of attacking you (the only legal reason to shoot some one unless in defense of another life).

I used to know a former cop. You know what he told me? If you have to use your gun in self defense, make sure you empty the clip into them and they are dead. People who survive are witnesses, and witnesses send you to jail or sue you. Dead people don't. This is why when they kill people, they turn them into Swiss cheese, not just disable them.

I'm not usually for mass surveillance, but I've seen reports of successfully altered behavior by cops who wear body cameras. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have all cops wear such cameras as a mandatory prop as long as they're on duty.

It's funny how accountability alters the behavior of certain people.

What's worse is that the cop probably would have gotten away with this if he was not filmed.

The most scary part is however how casual it all is. Like the citizen's life has no value.

This is some bullshit.  If anything crimes commited by cops should be punished much more severely as they are in a position of authority.  At some point we won't be able to tell the difference between honest cops, nut-job cops, and serial killers in a cop uniform.

It is a good suggestion to keep the cops under surveillance. But is it practical to make all of them wear body cams? The initial cost, as well as maintenance will be huge. And there is no guarantee that they will not damage / tweak them. Also we need more manpower to manually monitor all of them.
