South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder of Walter Scott

As opposed to the "let's lynch the white cop" types who don't know the facts yet but like with officer Wilson want to condemn. You still got the egg on your face for that one, you might be advised not to paint yourself in a corner again.

 

So you are saying that the video is a fake.

 

actually we have, you aren't paying attention...

 

Your point being what exactly.

What mass murderer? Scott is a mass murderer? Got a link to that?

 

Sorry, no egg on my face, although I did have definite opinions, I did very little to zero commenting on that case on this forum. This case is cut and dry so why are even bothering to defend this cop? Are you that biased that you cannot muster up the integrity to admit that this cop deserved to be arrested for murder? Really pathetic!

 

Oh it ABSOLUTELY does and until you realize that your statements on the matter have no credibility. He was fleeing arrest, the reason why will be KEY to any prosecution here, what happened between him and the officer and anything he said to the officer concerning violence to him, other officers or other citizens.

There is a LOT to be found out here before ANYONE can claim it was or was not a justified shooting. Again, why and how did they move from the cars which are no where near them in the video to where the shooting occurred in the open grassy area? You don't know and that will be key. Why did the suspect try to flee? Why didn't he let the officer take him into custody? Why did he have to be TASED?

Maybe you don't understand, unarmed dose not equal not dangerous, not a threat.

 

The cop is a murder. Yes
Is he a racist? We won't know till trial.

 

You shouldn't be surprised, its par for the course.

 

It's an execution of an unarmed man. Open and shut case. Crazy to think that without the bypasser catching this on camera, the cop would still be roaming the streets.

 

You mean anyone who is waiting for all the facts to come out before they make a decision lacks integrity? If they don't join you in condemning someone based on a video snippet that they are the ones who are pathetic?

Can you explain how that works?

 

It's not clear, as it comes into the scene the lines are running to the suspect and the TASER gun itself is seen flying through the air.

When you strike the officer and go for his weapon it does.

And he may have, we don't know what happened between the traffic stop and the shooting. For all we know he told the officer he wasn't going to jail and no MFing cop is going to take him he'll kill any MFing cop that tries and then tried to flee. The officer would have an obligation to use whatever force to stop him. Maybe he threatened his ex-wife over the child supporting saying he was going to go after her or something.

We don't know.

And that's why it is important we find out what exactly transpired during that time. And remember this was out in the open and I can't come up with a reason to believe the officer got up that morning with the intention of killing anyone.

There's LOTS.

Yes they do it especially black males it seems. It is pretty unlikely the cop just decided to go out and shot someone and do so standing out in the wide open.

What do you mean provoked? Police officers shouldn't arrest people because it might provoke them into a physical assault. They should just let them go?

And you have no problem with the police, the vast majority of people including myself can say the same thing. Police don't want to have to deal with you, they don't want to have to arrest you. But it seems to me most cases such as this are a result of the suspect resisting and assaulting the officers who have an duty and obligation to take them into custody.

Unarmed does not equal not dangerous, not a threat. He could go and arm himself for when the police find where he has escaped to and now have to attempt to take him into custody again.

Police just can't let dangerous suspects run, it is their DUTY to stop them, they had a public OBLIGATION to stop them.

 

Or he can go arm himself and kill the next officer trying to come get him or injure a bystander or go cause harm to the ex-wife who is now is after him over child support.

All these baseless declarations of fact.

 

Who has said as a matter of fact he did nothing wrong, I've seen no one make that declaration. I have seen quite a few already claim to know exactly what happened and are calling him a murderer without knowing all the facts.

Hmmm haven't you done that?

 

Absolutely false.

 

Can you post where an officer is authorized to shoot a fleeing unarmed suspect who is no threat in the back.

 

A police officer is not a random person.

 

You're correct, I wasn't paying attention there are more important issues out there than some one who was running away from a cop. Stupid people runaway from cops everyday. When they do, they pay the "consequences" as Obama said if he found any federal agent doing his job and enforcing the law. Now that's an issue that everyone should be paying attention too.

I found the autopsy. Not actually the autopsy but what the MSM is saying is in the autopsy.

Some were making (*)(*)(*)(*) us as usual.

Walter Scott was hit five time in the back, two rounds being fatal. Not the lie that Scott was shot eight times in the back.

Come on, today's cops aren't as good of shots as they were thirty or so years ago. Scott discharged his service pistol eight times and only hit Mr. Scott five times with only two rounds being fatal. That's unacceptable. No wonder there are so many Americans who want to pack if today's law enforcement officers are such bad shots. I wouldn't feel save on the streets knowing that cops were that bad with their service pistols.

 

What's false about it? It wasn't a True/False question.

 

RoFL how did you make that leap in logic? Or just desperate?

i would have thought by now you would have learned your lesson about waiting for the facts to come in which they haven't by a long shot here. He may be guilty as H*** of murder, or he might not.

 

Again, walk with caution down that path, you don't know what happened between the initial stop and then the altercation away from the cars. And no not defending him, pointing out those who are condemning have no idea what happened and are jumping to conclusions and making the phony arguments that were made in the Wilson shooting and we know that in fact that was a lawful shooting.

I have no problem with him being arrested at this point so stop with the really pathetic phony allegations. Where have I stated he should not be arrested?

 

The fact is the gentleman was running away from the cop and the cop pulled his gun and put 4 slugs in his back.

 

Yea it is, I wait for the facts and base my opinions on them as opposed to letting any bia's overcome me and make declarations of fact out my arse. Just par for the course around here.

Yeah we know that, now tell me exactly what led up that and why the suspect was resisting arrest to point of having to be TASED and why he tried to escape arrest. THEN maybe we can start to see if that was a justified shooting. Maybe it wasn't, maybe it was. We don't know yet and don't have the facts yet to make that judgement.

Well yeah it is, you said shots were fired BEFORE the suspect turned and fled. That is false. The officer didn't even pull his gun until the suspect turned and started to flee. Go watch the video which you should have done already before engaging in a debate over it.

 

How many times do you see an officer arrested at the time of a shooting or two days after a shooting or is it just the N.Charleston Police overreacting. Most officer involved shootings they are put on administrative leave or desk duty.

 

ROFL starting your dance early are we? This has nothing to do with me or what I have seen, Now focus like a laser on what I posted.
