South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder of Walter Scott

So you didn't know that more whites were killed by cops each year. You were lead to believe that more blacks were killed, and it makes sense when you're absorbing news from left-wing sources. That should be a big red flag.

 

based on demographics, cops should be killing 5 times as many whites as blacks.

or 1/5th as many blacks as whites.

 

Why not? Would he?

Don't get me wrong, if it turns out the guy was not a convicted felon, then its without a doubt cold blooded murder.

But as someone on the first page pointed out, the suspect didn't help his case by running.

 

he didn't help his case by stealing the cops tazer.

 

That's assuming both groups commit the same amount of crime and are as likely to become hostile with the police. Neither assumption is true.

 

That is not a good argument to make. Blacks are 13% of the country but commit about 50% of the murders. That isnt the cops fault.

The demographics argument is never relevant when it comes to behavior based circumstances.

 

yes, they make up 40% of murder convictions.

but...but....but...they also have a higher poverty rate than the whites and there is a corrolation between better paid lawyers and good lawyers.

 

Well that is definitely the cops fault. You got me there.

 

Maybe not, but he certainly knew that the guy was running away from him and posed no immediate threat. I would bet anything that absent the video, the killer cop would lie his ass off regarding the shooting. Looks like this POS also used the age old "throw down" method of planting a weapon at the scene of the shooting. Hopefully this cowardly ******** will soon be in prison for the rest of his life.

 

I watched the video and didn't find it disturbing.

Why aren't people taught early on in grade school that unless you are able to run over 2,000 feet per second, don't run away from the cops. It's a no brainer.

The video doesn't show what transpired before the Mr. King took off running. Why was he running away if he was just pulled over for just a broken tail light ? If Mr. King hadn't been frisked and padded down by the officer, the officer has no knowledge if Mr. King is armed or not and has to assume that he is armed and is a danger to himself and others. That's the way it works.

North Charleston made a political move and a good one, charge the officer for murder before Obama butts in saying if I had a son, he would be like a Mr. Scott. Then Al Sharpton would show up and as like any community organizer he would start agitating. "Hands up, don't shoot" The liberal MSM loved that one and took off on it until they found out they were duped again. That was after all of the arson and looting took place.

Kinda like the OP who starts out playing the race card, a white racist cop. Another black man shot only because the color of his skin. It's getting old and most people are getting tired of it.

I will say it again, if you can't run over 2,000 feet per second, don't try to outrun bullets.

 

When I first saw this video, I thought to myself... "No, not even PF Right Wingers would defend this..."

I should have known better.

 

he should have been white and everything would have good.

 

Yes, progressives wouldn't have had a problem with him being killed, then. It would have been social justice.

 

The guy never took the officers tazer. We only have his word for that, and that is sullied given the fact that he went up to the corpse and dropped the tazer next to his lifeless body.
Some more facts. The tazer was on the ground when the guy was running away and gunned down. It is still against the rules of engagement to fire upon someone without first being fired upon. Scott was stopped for a minor traffic offense. That hardly qualifies as being a dangerous fleeing criminal.

Wrap your head around that, and the fact that he was shot at not only once, but eight times.

 

you have evidence that the tazer was planted?

 

Yeah, they caught it on video. He walks over to the body, shouts through his radio that the suspect is down, handcuffs the corpse, and walks over to the tazer about 10 feet away and drops it over the body.

 

if true, and he ends up admitting it, he should fry once found guilty.

i support the death penalty, but only if defendant admits to the crime, and we have physical evidence of his participation.

 

Show me where anybody is defending what the cop did.

 

It would not be necessary. The man did not have any sort of weapon in his hands when shot. The police department and his own attorney confirmed this already.
PE: The video evidence as well

 

Apparently according to your posting history any shooting or beating of a black man by a police officer is AOK with you. A man is pulled over for a defective tail light (a common police lie used to illegally stop someone) and ends up getting shot 5 times in the back on video tape and you actually defend the killer. WOW!!!

 

Why would he need to? The officer was charged.

 

Why is no one remarking on how he shouted at the cameraman as the other cop was coming over in the video.? That alone is proof of his guilt.

 

Oh that's right because its a black man that was shot.

 

It'll be interesting watching progressives use this story for their political advantage. Even though the officer was arrested for murder, they will use this story to justify all of the other white-cop-on-black-suspect shootings that have occurred, and will occur in the future. This apparently proves that Obama and Holder's Justice Department is racist against black people.

 

Was this gentleman armed?

Not unarmed.
