Jury reports it's deadlocked in the fatal police shooting of Walter Scott in South Ca

So every suspect that runs from the police is shot in the back? How did he assault him?

Suspects are not searched until they are taken into custody.

 

It ought to be legal to shoot a fleeing felon . . . again. Stop or I'll shoot!

 

Of course we need to do something about black crime and the young men and boys it is destroying.

We are the two things that effect these young men and boys more than anything else?

Guns and drugs, we do they have such easy access to both?

 

Oh I heard he got replaced by a black person in an affirmative action move.
But I guess anybody can make up a conspiracy theory.

Not make an attempt to execute him by shooting 8 times. It seems obviously logical that such a thing is just not done.

 

Where is the evidence that he assaulted the officer? I've just watched the video for the first time. I could almost walk faster than Scott was running. And you think that it is reasonable to fire 8 shots at him. Disgusting.

 

seen this. Mistakenly my ass. The left wants nothing less than civil war and chaos in the USA. There was not a single word of protest in N Charleston either after the shooting or after the trial. In fact as the link says Al Sharpton praised both the residents and the city officials quicjk repsonse and followup in the Slager case. The N Charleston Police Chief ordered body cams for every N Charleston police officer immediately when the details of the shooting were revealed

Today' show to apologize after using image of Baltimore in segment about Slager mistrial

harleston is not Baltimore, but the "Today" show did not make that distinction during a news segment Tuesday morning.

Now, there will be an on-air apology Thursday.


The news clip gave viewers an update on the murder trial of Michael Slager, the North Charleston police officer who fired eight gunshots and killed Walter Scott on April 4, 2015.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the clip in question has been removed from the article on the "Today" show's website. An editor's note appears below the old clip: "This video erroneously included an image from an event not related to the Scott trial, and has been removed."

A statement from the network confirms the forthcoming apology.

“The video mistakenly included an image from an event not related to the Scott trial, and we apologize. The image has been removed from the story online, and we will make an on-air correction and apology tomorrow," said Megan K. Stackhouse, vice president of public relations for the "Today" show and NBC News.

 

Try to focus...........THIS suspect

He has not been searched yet and take him down how? He has already fled once, he has already assaulted the officer and resisted the non-lethal force and now he his fleeing again.

How do you stop him now?

 

No we see the things that result in that, such as fatherless homes, single mothers, lack of educational achievement, lack of a work ethic, lack of respect for the law. THAT is what effects these young men.

But you ask about how to get rid of guns and drugs, there are lots of guns and lots of drugs in white society and white communities. Why is there a such difference between those two societies and communities?

 

Quite telling how you have to dodge the question. I didn't ask you what they were NOT supposed to do, I ask what ARE they supposed to do to take the suspect into custody and make sure he is not a threat to anyone else?

Guess you don't have anything so are they just supposed to let them go?

 

In the video where he knocks the non-lethal force out of his hand and then flees.

So what is the officer supposed to do to stop the suspect from fleeing after the suspect has assault them and knocked the non-lethal force out of their hands?

Look we have to come up with something the police are to be trained to do and instructed to do that will not have you throwing them in jail...........I'm asking..........what is it?

 

That is not an assault. What a joke.

What is he supposed to do? Firstly not shoot him eight times. If that policeman can't hit a leg with one bullet from 10 feet he should not have a gun. Eight shots is an assassination. I can walk faster than he was running ! Tackle him just like our police do. Your shoot first ask questions later has escalated to so many deaths and spiraling out of control.

 

Perhaps if people don't want to get shot they shouldn't put themselves in a position to be shot?

It's pretty simple.

These people that get shot have a history of violence and in most cases get shot while assaulting a cop.

What type of idiot would assault a cop?

Cops are trigger happy in bad areas and they will shoot you no questions asked if you have a history of violence.

Race plays no role in this at all.

 

You try and focus, read the thread title this murdered man is who we are talking about.

Cops do it everyday without shooting unarmed folks in the back.

So stop beating around the bush, you believe this officer was justified shooting this man in the back and then planting evidence next to him.

 

Cops are not hired to fight you. If the brutha doesn't follow orders. cap him.

 

So does that just apply to the brothers?

 

Well.... what you're not suppose to do is exceptionally relevant, since this all is what happened.

How about you go and look something up yourself?
It seems like, when no member of this forum knows exactly what to do with some source to back it up, means that the cop did do the right thing. While it still remains absolutely obvious that what the cop did, is illegal. He got fired over it. Only THAT is the relevant part of the discussion.

That's your silly opinion that executing all the people in the streets for disobeying orders is legal.
Sounds like a policy of North Korea to me.
