Psychotic cop shoots man 8 times in the back (vid)

//www.youtube.com/embed/kXO3Ix_GIyI?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

A white police officer in North Charleston, S.C., was charged with murder on Tuesday after a video surfaced showing him shooting in the back and killing an apparently unarmed black man while the man ran away.

The officer, Michael T. Slager, 33, said he had feared for his life because the man had taken his stun gun in a scuffle after a traffic stop on Saturday. A video, however, shows the officer firing eight times as the man, Walter L. Scott, 50, fled. The North Charleston mayor announced the state charges at a news conference Tuesday evening.

The shooting came on the heels of high-profile instances of police officers?? using lethal force in New York, Cleveland, Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere around the country. The deaths have set off a national debate over whether the police are too quick to use force, particularly in cases involving black men.

A White House task force has recommended a host of changes to the nation??s police policies, and President Obama sent Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to cities around the country to try to improve police relations with minority neighborhoods.

And people got the nerve to wonder why we (black people) feel like the Ferguson decision was complete bullshit as well.

One case (this one), the facts are obviously on the side of the victim.

In Ferguson, the facts were on the side of Darren Wilson.

Pretty simple.

I don't need a video to tell me 8 shots the the back is murder.

In the Ferguson case, facts had to come out. Facts which you don't like.

The great thing about the truth is that it doesn't take sides, and is color blind.

Johnson, stats should NOT influence individual and specific cases! Just because Alex robbed the liquor store and shot the owner does not mean Dean deserves to be killed because they share the same race or eye color. This affects ALL of us as any one of us can be that victim.

The OP is making this thread racial by outlining races. he and many others believe blacks are victims.... i'm just showing that's simply not the case.


so i'm simply going along with that narrative.

point out where i outlined races..because i just simply posted a video and news article

you're the only one running in here with the racial epithets..as usual

but you turn into a troll whenever these type of topics is brought up so i don't take you serious..plus you're asian from canada..you literally have NOTHING to do with the situation,lol

facts: this post didn't make ANY sense, and you won't dare tell your black co workers or anybody else face to face that it was "good" that the unarmed 50 year old man was shoot in the back..

facts: white supremacy is real and ever since the ending of slavery they have done whatever they could to break the black man

the point completely flew over your tiny brain.





are you trying to prove me right by indicating blacks are the most likely to resort to nonsensical violence?


LMAO you are so stupid.

your post had no correlation to the topic..at all

cop shoots 50 year old man in the back..you say "good!" and proceed to post a video of a black kids playing a punching game..

That video is horrible. Devastating to watch smdh. I feel so bad that he lost his life, and horrible for his family.

Officers are so quick to lie about what happened too. Thank GOD this was on video.

Damn. The guy shooting that video certainly has balls of steel. He barely flinched during the shots.

good thing for cellphone cameras

Pretty simple, the truth and a fact. Any cop who shoots an unarmed civilian in the back should be charged with murder, and this cop IS.

...and his own lawyer dumped his ass to the curb. Perfect. 🙂

Don. I'm really beginning to think you are very short sighted. And can only see things as black and white.

Also Damen. What's the profile pic of man?

Don I think you're trying pin off every black person as someone who acts this way and does this. You're mistaken. So are trying to say every black person is a criminal and those few who actually push to stop violence among ourselves and stop violence like this and are actually not criminals and are well educated are criminals or will turn into one? For once, I could honestly tell a Canadian to grow the hell up and stop pinning stuff like this on every black person. I mean have you met every black person out here in the world and have they tried to rob and beat you down?

don is trolling obviously, but it seems like he hates black people because some big black guy is fucking his ex or his grandmother's corpse.

IDK what it is, but it makes me laugh whenever i look at it so i kept it

so there's proof the cop was 'psychotic'?

the video is proof enough to me..

or do you think his actions were something a reasonable, balanced and healthy minded person would do?

Nothing is different.

Human and nature's history never changes, and is always repeating itself.

The only difference is the technology of today brings human nature into the open.

We have brains smart enough to build technology that can withstand the depths of the ocean, and outer space. We can created synthetic material that replicates the natural thing.

We could be an intelligent society of humans working together to make life better. Instead we use our brains to make life worse.

You're late!

I blame the pm warrior's that egg him on.

He's real cool under a different light. Thank god Tesla wasn't bullied as a teen...we would have missed out on a lot, just like how we're all missing out on what dj has to offer.

Fvcking pm warrior's.

Sure I know DJ can be a cool guy sometimes. But when it comes to race he just loses his mind on that and tends to get a bit shortsighted aiming his guns at African Americans on this. Heck I could learn to respect him better if he stop being so critical towards one race because you can't just blame one race for all the problems in America. And he lives in Canada so what would he know about our social problems?

That's a whole other topic lol.

If I know one thing about life it's that it tends to not take other types of life kindly.

If an alien was intelligent to travel here it wouldn't be to greet mean humans with signs of peace. It would be to enslave humanity and take resources.

If we're lucky they won't be the type of aliens traveling around the galaxy blowing up tiny planets like human children smash little bugs.

Fuck, where did I put my aluminum foil hat?

I was bullied by blacks and whites. but I don't hold ill will for neither. If I did it'd just be redundant. It wouldn't make sense, I'd basically be hating myself.

Calling a murderer psychotic is ridiculous. He cold blooded murdered someone. He was aware of what he was doing.

Exactly. He's a psycho because he knew exactly what he was doing. That's what a psycho is.

which is exactly why i posted the "slavery by another name video"..it speaks on how the former slave owners then became heavily involved in the prison system partly due to the loophole in the 13th amendment..because after all, if you were accustomed to getting people to work for you for free, and have been doing it for centuries, why stop now?..

"Black Codes" were laws that were put in place during the late 1800's after the civil war, which resulted in African Americans getting put in jail in record numbers, and forced to work for free..the vagrancy law was the worst, because it meant if you couldn't prove you were working, then you could get sent to jail for merely just standing outside..and a lot of the ones they locked up were Teenagers.

this is also why there should be NO surprise that today, the U.S currently has the highest incarcerated population in the world and millions of dollars is getting made through privatized prisons..these prisons actually have quotas to fill these beds as well..

this judge was sentenced to 28 years for basically locking up kids for cash

http://news.yahoo.com/pa-judge-gets-28-years-kids-cash-case-141902094.html<BR>
it only received a little attention thou due to a few white kids that were caught up in this scandal..

in the 1970's, African American's had a relatively low unemployment rate, coincidentally,the crack cocaine explosion occurred around the early 80's during the Regan era(the rednecks favorite president), and combine that with A MAJOR increase in unemployment, plus the harsher penalties for having crack(compared to having just cocaine,which is the same drug)resulted yet again the rise of black incarceration..



capitalism and racist white folks haven't changed mentally at all towards us in terms of racism, they just go about it in a different way today

notice how the VAST majority of these private prisons are in the south..

CHECK THIS SHIT OUT:


At least 37 states have legalized the contracting of prison labor by private corporations that mount their operations inside state prisons. The list of such companies contains the cream of U.S. corporate society: IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Wireless, Texas Instrument, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel, Lucent Technologies, 3Com, Intel, Northern Telecom, TWA, Nordstrom??s, Revlon, Macy??s, Pierre Cardin, Target Stores, and many more. All of these businesses are excited about the economic boom generation by prison labor. Just between 1980 and 1994, profits went up from $ 392 million to $ 1.31 billion. Inmates in state penitentiaries generally receive the minimum wage for their work, but not all; in Colorado, they get about $ 2 per hour, well under the minimum. And in privately-run prisons, they receive as little as 17 cents per hour for a maximum of six hours a day, the equivalent of $ 20 per month. The highest-paying private prison is CCA in Tennessee, where prisoners receive 50 cents per hour for what they call —highly skilled positions.?? At those rates, it is no surprise that inmates find the pay in federal prisons to be very generous. There, they can earn $ 1.25 an hour and work eight hours a day, and sometimes overtime. They can send home $ 200- $ 300 per month.

Thanks to prison labor, the United States is once again an attractive location for investment in work that was designed for Third World labor markets. A company that operated a maquiladora (assembly plant in Mexico near the border) closed down its operations there and relocated to San Quentin State Prison in California. In Texas, a factory fired its 150 workers and contracted the services of prisoner-workers from the private Lockhart Texas prison, where circuit boards are assembled for companies like IBM and Compaq.

If they guy was innocent, why did he run? That's what I'm always curious about. Why run? It makes you look guilty.

I didn't say he WAS guilty. It's just that when someone automatically runs, it makes you look guilty.
Why not stay there and talk to the cop to explain to him your side of the story or eplain that you're innocent? Running, just makes you look bad.

I want to know what happened BEFORE the video. What was said? What was the interaction? I want ALL the details.

In other words, I want to know why the cop reacted the way he did. Clearly, he was wrong to shoot him like that, but I want to know the facts of what made him take those actions. I don't think he would just start shooting for no reason.

And don't think I'm trying to justify it. I just want more facts than what the video shows. The whole story.

it's because he's an inherently demonic,racist, cac.that's it.honestly.

if it was a white man who ran from him, he wouldn't have shot him like that,period.

But really, it happens all the time - Cop shooting white man running away. It just doesn't make national news media.

And what if the cop was black? Would it get the same attention?

He died in handcuffs.That's all i can think of.

Im not saying he's innocent and i know it's protocol to put the handcuffs on, but all i can think of is him dying in handcuffs.

I wonder what was going through his mind as he lay there? I feel for the person recording.

This is just sad. All of it...

Of course. Because any black man working as a cop is just an Uncle Tom working to prop up the white man's privilege, dontcha know....(At least I think that's how the OPs "reasoning" goes. )

Reality is, the cop in this case gunned that man down. Very different thing than what happened in Ferguson with St. Michael the Thrice Dissed. The cop is being charged with murder, as should happen, IMHO.

white cops using excessive force against blacks is far more common than any other scenario in relation to this topic.

it's been this way since the 1800's,when vagrancy laws were established to lock black people up who were just standing on the street..this type of blatant racism resulted in hostility,anger and resentment towards police and hasn't changed completely on either side..

Oh, I didn't say the cop was right. No, not at all.

I just want all the facts besides a 40 second video. That's all. Can't make an educated opinion without all the facts.

He had Family Court warrents out for his arrest. Not a felony. Misdemeanor charges.

I'm under the assumption that he bolted from the car as soon as the office stopped him (the passenger stayed in the vehicle).

Of course I'm speculating, but the guy couldn't run very fast as you saw. 50 years old and out of shape. To me, and this is speculation.. Is that the officer caught up to him and shot his taser.

In the video, it looks as he is trying to rip the barbs away and swat the taser away, and then continue running.

My main point.. Misdemeanor crimes do not warrent being gunned down while you're running away. Nor is resisting arrest.

Thanks for explaining.

I thought cops had to warn with "Freeze! Or I will shoot!" Doesn't look like he did that here.

If he hadn't have run, he wouldn't have gotten shot. That's why I don't understand why they try to run.

It happens to white men, too. This white man was shot by a black cop while trying to run. Again, why run?? His friends didn't run and they are still alive.

Seraph,

Was the cop aware of the the reasons the suspect ran?

Did he know it was for warrants or did he just start running for reasons unknown to the cop?
Perhaps the cop thought he had committed some major crime? Otherwise, why run? I'm sure at that moment the cop didn't know he was running just because he had warrants.

You are correct. There are definitely a lot of factors to consider before you call this flat out premeditated murder.

The officer had a choice to use deadly force or not. He made it 10 yds away before the officer fired a shot.

If he was running towards the officer, I could understand the need for force.. But this man was not a threat.

Running away from an office makes you guilty of something and triggers that knee jerk reflex in an officer. That's all I'm saying.

*LOOK guilty*
