Anyone who thinks that shooting was reasonable use of force is a nutjob. Scott was obviously not a threat.
Anyone who knows the law and is familiar with the facts of the case would have to agree with you. Hell, even officer Slager agrees with you! He entered a guilty plea and agreed to serve 20 years. That was a wise decision on his part. Slager's first trial resulted in a hung jury with 11 jurors voting for conviction and only one juror voting for acquittal. Apparently Slager knew he was lucky to find one nutjob who saved his butt and was afraid he could not find another one. Slager saw the handwriting on the wall and thought it best to cut his losses. His admission of guilt ends debate on the subject.
