Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - now this some real shit- finally caught on video

This is now where the rubber begins to meet the road.

Couple of tidbits:

- Here's the original story run about the incident: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20150406/PC16/150409558/1268/north-charleston-police-say-officer-who-fatally-shot-man-pulled-him-over-because-of-brake-light&source=RSS

A North Charleston police officer felt threatened last weekend when the driver he had stopped for a broken brake light tried to overpower him and take his Taser. etc.

Yeah .... no. And, once his lawyer heard of and watched the video, he dropped the scumbag cop like the sack of shit he is ... "I'm no longer involved in form or fashion."

- It appears our friends in North Charleston had already received $275,000 with which to purchase 115 cameras to be warn by the boys in blue ... I guess nobody got down to Best Buy yet. http://blogs.cofc.edu/publicsafety/2015/02/13/charleston-police-to-wear-body-cameras/

Lastly, God Bless the fella filming this shit go down ... not just because that piece of shit cop will pay for his actions one way or another, but also for having the fucking balls of steel to keep filming after watching a 50-year old man get blown away to capture the planting of the taser and the aftermath.

I didn't keep watching after the cop shot him... he went back and put the tazer on the guy?

Wow. Dude was running away and the cop just shot him, 8 times. Not a present danger, just running away.

I don't know how you could do this. I just don't. Because it's not like this cop plans to be a killer when the day started. He didn't know he was gonna confront this guy. Had no grudge against him.

Yet 8 shots as he's running away and isn't a threat? No hesitation by him either. Felt really comfortable doing it. Unbelievable.

He did it because he 'knew' he could get away with it ... and without that video, you can bet your ass he does.

Extra points that this all started because the guy had a fucking tail light out.

ah yes, basically the equivalent of a random stop & frisk

as an avid watcher of Cops, i've heard them casually state any number of times how they suspect a person of X, Y or Z and try to find a minor traffic infraction to pull them over. Weaving or "driving erratically" is always a fun one too since you can pretty much just make it up

Yeah, this was some bullshit. The guy running was certainly no Carl Lewis and they could have had him surrounded in two blocks tops based on
how quickly another officer hit the scene. Not only that but shoot the guy in the leg and he would have gone down rather quickly. Just went
rapid fire into what I assume was his torso from relatively short range.

Just pointing out how a low cost item like that got a guy killed.

Serious:
Why did the guy run?

That's what I'm wondering as well. You're pulled over for a broken tail light and then you end up running?

In no way was this justified and I don't want to blame the victim...I'm just curious what happened.

That's pretty damning evidence -- will be interested to hear what the defense is. A little excessive with the shots.

Officer Slager reported on his radio: “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser,” according to police reports. But the video, which was taken by a bystander and provided to The New York Times by the Scott family’s lawyer, presents a different account. The video begins in the vacant lot, apparently moments after Officer Slager fired his Taser. Wires, which carry the electrical current from the stun gun, appear to be extending from Mr. Scott’s body as the two men tussle and Mr. Scott turns to run. Something — it is not clear whether it is the stun gun — is either tossed or knocked to the ground behind the two men, and Officer Slager draws his gun, the video shows. When the officer fires, Mr. Scott appears to be 15 to 20 feet away and fleeing. He falls after the last of eight shots. The officer then runs back toward where the initial scuffle occurred and picks something up off the ground. Moments later, he drops an object near Mr. Scott’s body, the video shows.

oh wow. so he fired the taser, it didnt catch so the guy managed to get away... the cop didnt feel like running so he mowed the guys ass down. then, even though he didnt need to, he felt it was easier to tell the story if the taser was lying next to the guy...

I don't know how you could do this. I just don't. Because it's not like this cop plans to be a killer when the day started. He didn't know he was gonna confront this guy. Had no grudge against him. Yet 8 shots as he's running away and isn't a threat? No hesitation by him either. Felt really comfortable doing it. Unbelievable.

But thousands of cops in America know they can get away with shit and have a conscious. Ya know, they don't want to murder somebody. That trigger in your brain that says "I don't want to murder this guy for no reason right now." That's my point.

crawl out of your moms basement and go outside once and awhile beardown. the biggest reason people choose to be cops is to have more power than they used to. this cop felt above the law because 'geniuses' ruin his world. if you are uncomfortable hearing that grow the fuck up.

Bond denied for North Charleston police officer charged with murder Morning rally planned at city hall UPDATED 9:22 AM EDT Apr 08, 2015 NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) —Bond was denied Tuesday night for a North Charleston police officer who fatally shot a 50-year-old man during a traffic stop. 'THE TRUTH CAME OUT:' SCOTT'S FAMILY SPEAKS OUT ON... The family of Walter Scott held a press conference Tuesday night to remember their loved one and discuss the shooting that caused his death. MORE North Charleston Patrolman First Class Michael Slager, 33, faces a murder charge in connection with the Saturday morning shooting death of Walter Scott. (pictured below) That announcement of Slager's arrest came at a press conference late Tuesday afternoon from North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey who referred to a video someone recorded of the shooting Saturday morning. Click HERE to watch video; WARNING: Video is disturbing The video had been sent to Scott's family and the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division, Summey said. Police say the video shows Slager shooting Scott as he was running away from the scene. The video appears to show Scott running away from Slager, then Slager firing multiple rounds at Scott. SHOW TRANSCRIPT "As a result of that video and bad decisions made by our officer, he will be charged with murder," Summey said. Mobile users: Click HERE to hear from Mayor Summey "It's been a tragic day," North Charleston Police Chief Eddie Driggers said. Police describe what happened Police say the shooting happened following an attempted traffic stop. According to NCPD reports released Monday, Slager was conducting a traffic stop of Scott's car for a malfunctioning brake light. Reports state Scott attempted to flee, resulting in a foot pursuit. Officer Slager then deployed his Taser weapon to detain the driver but was unsuccessful, a spokesperson for the police department said. Officer charged with murder after shooting man Police say an altercation then began between Slager and Scott resulting in a fight for the officer's Taser. During the fight, Scott allegedly gained control of the Taser to use it against the officer who then fired his service weapon at the suspect. The shooting has been under investigation by SLED. If convicted, Slager faces the death penalty or a term of 30 years to life in prison. Rally planned A rally is set for Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. at North Charleston City Hall. Black Lives Matter will be hosting the event. Watch rally live Family talks about Scott SHOW TRANSCRIPT Scott's family says he was a father of four and spent two years in the Coast Guard. Mobile users: Click HERE to hear Scott's brother talk about the shooting Walter's brother, Anthony, described Walter as the extrovert of the family. "He was the most outgoing out of all of us. He knew everybody. He knew family I didn't know," Anthony said. "He was an outgoing person, loving and kind. That was his nature." Family attorney Chris Stewart said the family is planning a civil lawsuit. Click HERE to read what Scott's family had to say after Slager's arrest Department of Justice releases statement "The South Carolina Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has opened an investigation concurrent with the S.C. Law Enforcement Division and are providing aid as necessary to the state investigation," read a statement by the Department of Justice."The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and the South Carolina U.S. Attorney's Office will work with the FBI in the investigation. The Department of Justice will take appropriate action in light of the evidence and developments in the state case." Gov. Haley responds "We have many good law enforcement officers in the field. What happened in this case is not acceptable in South Carolina, nor is it reflective of our values or of the way most of our law enforcement officials act, and I assure all South Carolinians that the criminal judicial process will proceed fully," said Gov. Nikki Haley in a statement."This is a sad time for everyone in South Carolina, and I urge everyone to work together to help our community heal." NAACP responds The president of the NAACP SC State Conference, Dr. Lonnie Randolph Jr. released the following statement Tuesday night: The South Carolina NAACP would like to commend the U.S. Attorney's office, the FBI, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and other law enforcement personnel who assisted in bringing charges against Officer Michael T. Slager in the fatal shooting of Walter L. Scott, an unarmed citizen of North Charleston, South Carolina. Mr. Scott, a 50-year old African American, had been initially detained during a traffic stop. Our sympathies go out to the family of Mr. Scott who must endure the heartache that follows such a tragic event. The NAACP will remain engaged locally as members of the community attempt to process the details of this incident. We acknowledge the brave citizen who captured the shooting incident on video then swiftly released it to the public. I cannot underscore enough how important it is for persons who witness alleged crimes to give an account of what they saw. The rapid response by law enforcement in this matter does bring some level of comfort to the community in the hopes that the judicial process will render an adequate measure of justice for the victim. We will continue to monitor the investigation and resulting litigation as it moves through the Courts.

Yeah, this was some bullshit. The guy running was certainly no Carl Lewis and they could have had him surrounded in two blocks tops based on how quickly another officer hit the scene. Not only that but shoot the guy in the leg and he would have gone down rather quickly. Just went rapid fire into what I assume was his torso from relatively short range.

In Jest: No,no,no,no,no,no,no.....he has a badge & a gun and a uniform...so automatic HERO !!! He stopped a menace with a broken tail-light...a fugitive who owed back child support....and then "took him out" in the best interest of public safety!!!! Hero !!!!! Serious: Why did the guy run? Didn't want to go to jail for back child support? Well, guess he does not have to worry about jail now. And as for the "hero cop"???...Seriously...that dude took off running and I'm pretty sure my 89 year old dad could have run him down pretty easily. Didn't look like he had any wheels. That said....if he felt the need to shoot.....shoot the MF'er in the leg(s) right? Nope. 8 shots to the back !!! Pussy fucking "hero" !!!! The video is "great" in that it captures the reality of the situation and that fucker cop planting the taser right?? If there is a "hero" here...its the guy taking the video. Whole situation sucks!
