Here is the video that the news is blowing up right now.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/08/us...ans-death.html http://www.postandcourier.com/articl...PC16/150409468 Really hard to deny this, only defense I could think of is to destroy the credibility of the video. I've read his lawyer David Aylor has already dropped him. -Carl

Since there was an arrest do we expect riots?
Although I'm pretty sure a "not guilty" verdict will incite riots. |

. A video, however, shows the officer firing eight times as the man, Walter L. Scott, 50, fled.
that looks like that little cut thru road behind the old Dodge place, to come out at Marie's or Geralds onto Rivers....

That's why body cameras should be mandatory for police. If it weren't for the bystander video, the whole issue would have been swept under the rug.

I'm not sure this one could have been swept under the rug. If there was an autopsy done on the victim it would show that all the rounds that hit him were in his back side, which indicates he had his back turned to the officer. With that being said, a fleeing suspect hardly constitutes the use of deadly force.

This is the last possible thing SC needs after the whole Ferguson thing. They should throw the book at the cop and let him be an example. Needs to be locked up for the rest of his life.
And yes John that's exactly where that is, over behind the pawn shop.

Which police force is next.. Too bad the cops don't know "people are watching them to". Eight shots in the back/ back side.. What the Hell..

here's the breakdown:
-dude never paid child support -dude prolly had a warrant out for his arrest, due to lack of paying court ordered child support -dude's rolling around in a Mercedes Benz (I read that in one report, IDK where) -dude has a taillight out in his BenzO lets review the facts: -can afford BenzO -has not paid child support so when he got stopped...he was not running from a "Racist Cop/Driving while Black incident" he was running from a "I aint never paid my child support and I know I will go to jail" incident IDK guys, let me know if you think that wraps up the ROOT cause of the situation...and then it just snowballed from there. "if you don't pay your bills...it just gets worse"

They showed a pic of the Benz. Looks like a $2k today only special on CL. Nothing to write home about that's for sure. Dude shouldn't have run but also most certainly shouldn't have been shot.
One thing that also strikes me, is that when the guy turned to run, he was doing at best a slow jog. You're telling me the 33 year old cop who looks in decent shape couldn't run down a 50 year old dude that could barely maintain a slow jog? Pathetic.
