Bullsh!t! If he attacked him, then ran away, he has all the reasons to be shot. Welcome to the legal system! You disobey the law, you pay the fines. I don't care if its being tazed or shot, this cop was trained to do just that. Subdue suspects. Which he did in ways that had to be done. I stand by this cop 110%

It's criminals like that who get off the hook for the stuff they do and its the liberals like you that believe them and make them go free.

Oh god, I don't want to abuse the 2nd Amendment therefore I must be a liberal. Did you watch the video? He didn't try to subdue the man at all, he pulled out a gun RIGHT AWAY. He wasn't even running that fast, and the size difference had no reason to lead him to be "scared for his life" especially if the man didn't take his stun gun...

The thing is, you don't know what that officer actually said to the man either when they were face to face, and conservatives (ex: you) love just assuming that 101% of cops aren't corrupt/racist. We probably had the same views on the Brown/Trayvon Martin cases but this one is obviously the cops fault.

I'm not saying every single cop is corrupt. I know that they're are some. But that's besides the fact. A corrupt cop would entitle that a cop shoots a man for no reason at all. Yes, I will admit.. This was a bit on the edge, but either way, the suspect ran from the cops. Maybe the man didn't deserve 8 in the back, but the cop did what he had to do in order to subdue the suspect.

I sometimes wonder if people like you can't actually be reasoned with because you don't have any perception of empathy.

Someone runs from the police? They deserve to die.
Or maybe the police officer should do what we require them to be fit for and run after him?
I guess not in your mind though, because you see it as any indiscretion against a police officer, no matter how minor, warrants a death sentence.

AR15 wrote They are charged when they have actually done something wrong.

I'm not naive enough to believe that.

They asually showed the taser was hit to the ground before the man started running and then after instead of doing first aid he ran back to get the taser then dropped it by the dying man's side

My opinion.

-The cop was in the wrong
-He will be charged and convicted
-He will go to prison
-Don't look at every police officer like this guy.

If I based my perspective of what I think of black people after a time where I saw a black person brutally attack a small white girl I would say every black person is brutal and dangerous. But I don't think that because I know not every black person is. Everybody who thinks every cop is out of control and are "pigs" are complete ignorant fools.

I don't see this as an act of racism, and it really annoys me when people claim that this happened because the subject was black.
I think the officer deserves whatever he gets, if his story is true then maybe he should have only shot once or twice if it really came to that, but 8 shots is inexcusable and unjustifyable.

Shooting at all would have been wrong.
Why do we have a fitness standard for police officers? So they can run after fleeing suspects.
Not so they have the dexterity to pull out a gun and hand out death sentences.

I think it has gone more than "just out of hand" or out of control.
This has gone to a point where its BAFFLING!

A "Police Officer" shooting an unarmed perosn just for the sake of "it" like seriously can someone count how many times this has happedn over the last several months!?

I hope this officer gets sentenced for a long time shooting an innocent person. He could have easily caught the man when he was running away but no lets just shoot him . Absolutely disgusted.

Just recently cops have been becoming a big problem and this needs to be stopped they think they have more power but they don't they have to follow the same rules we do.

Well the same police officer was exonerated in 2013 for improper use of force with a taser against another black suspect.
I'm noticing a trend with that officer.

Noticed you said exonerated, meaning he was accused and freed from it, they never prove he actually did it.

Just because he was exonerated doesn't mean he didn't do anything wrong. Let's not act like the police are always thorough in their investigations of their own officers.

After Givens filed a complaint with the North Charleston Police Department, officials quietly exonerated Slager without ever contacting Givens, or the woman who made the complaint that brought police to his home and witnessed the encounter, according to the report.

Given what this officer has gone on to do I have no doubt that he did what he was accused of.
