South Carolina officer charged with ****** after shooting man in the back
Video shows white police officer Michael Slager shooting 50-year-old black man Walter Scott in the back at least eight times as he ran away
A white police officer in North Charleston, South Carolina, has been charged with ****** over the fatal shooting on Saturday of a 50-year-old black man, Walter Scott, marking a remarkably swift move for justice in a fatal police incident.
North Charleston police chief Eddie Driggers said officer Michael Slager, 33, had been arrested and charged with ******.
Footage of the shooting, which occurred around 9.30am after Scott was pulled over for a traffic *********, reportedly shows Slager firing eight times at Scott, who is running away.
Local newspaper the Post and Courier published a still from video which appears to show Scott fleeing as Slager points a *** at his back.
Slager had initially released a statement through his lawyer arguing he had “followed all the proper procedures and policies of the North Charleston police department”.
But at a press conference on Tuesday, North Charleston mayor Keith Summey told reporters that Slager had made a “bad decision”.
“When you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Summey said as quoted by the Post and Courier. “When you make a bad decision, don’t care if you’re behind the shield or a citizen on the street, you have to live with that decision.”
More details soon …
Fuck the police!
