Did Walter Scott run because he stole a car?

Doesn't matter.

He ran because there was a warrant out for him for child support.

But a black guy in a Mercedes? He must have jacked it! Or at least that's probably what the cop thought.

Still makes shooting him in the back and planting a Taser on him wrong.

 

[Political Junky]

No -

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The victim getting out of the car and running, does change the story some.
No excuse for shooting him in the back though, the cop will have to stand for murder.
Damnit though, if the guy would have just stayed in the car ! The cop was handling the situation professionally up to that point.

By the way, did you notice the victim had a passenger in the car ?

He ran because of the child support, because the car was stolen, or both.

The most baffling part of it is he wasn't running away very fast. The cop could have just tackled him, and that would have been that. There was zero reason for the officer to discharge his firearm.

Dead-beat father not paying to help support his kids driving a fucking Mercedes.
The cop Tased him in the leg.Both of them were fighting each other "on the ground" according to an eyewitness.
Someone gets into a fight with a cop usually the cop wins.

Between the two videos there was some sort of struggle.

Like Ferguson, some witnesses may just be shutting up until a Grand Jury convenes.

Expect riots over this.

Cop has been charged.

System is working.

Trials are in court, not one CNN, and Don Lemon is not the jury, nor is Don Imus.

I am impressed with how it is being handled.

Cop jailed, charged, denied bail, fired, and awaiting due process of law.

What a shame the dead guy did not await due process of law.

 

[Old Rocks]

A shame all the way around. Damned fool should not have ran. The cop should not have shot him, from the information I have seen so far, he had no reason to believe that man was a dangerous felon. And planting the taser effectively damned the cop. That said he realized what he had done was wrong, and he was trying to cover it.

If the cop is not convicted, will the system still be working?

If the car was stolen then your part about there being no reason to believe he was a felon falls apart.

What was between the two videos was meaningless, considering the officer appears to be uninjured. He was unarmed, in some distress, and moving AWAY from the officer at a slow, halting speed. There is no justification for lethal force at that point.

"Appears to be uninjured"? How the fuck do you know what happened?
Should it be proven the officer had sustaining any injuries during the fight when "they were both on the ground" the stupid 'Tree Dweller simians will claim either the cop inflicted his own injuries or some of his fellow cops did it for him back at the station.
If the cop walks the simians will have another excuse to burn the shit hole they live in down AFTER stealing anything of value from their innocent neighbors.
If it's proven in a court of law the cop is guilty so be it. Fry him.
