Didn't know you were in S.C. I'm on the other side of the state.

20years seems a bit light for shooting some in the back and killing them.

The fact that the PD withheld the bodycam footage until after the verdict is appalling which I believe is an obstruction of justice. That cop clearly executed Daniel Shaver and this case needs to be reviewed by the state Supreme Court and if that doesn't do it then SCOTUS needs to get involved. The widow and kids should never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

Actually this case deserves its own thread.

And you Know This how?

He wasn't convicted at the state level with the video FFS. That is a pretty damn good indication. Then we have the fact that LEO are very rarely convicted of very obvious criminal activities when there is insurmountable evidence. So yes, I can say with 99% certainty that without this video he would have never been charged and absolute 100% certainty that he would have never been convicted. You are a fool or a troll if you try to argue otherwise, his narrative would have been that the victim took his taser and it would have been taken as gospel like LEO's word usually is.

Holy shit! That deserves a thread of its own. That is all kinds of fucked up and those retarded instructions are just asking for people to fuck up while they are in one of the highest stressed situations of their lives. The guy was trying his ass off to comply. On top of that they instructed him to crawl over the womans purse which could have had a weapon in it, why in the ever living name of fuck didn't they just walk over and cuff him? Hell they didn't even tell him what to do with his hands after he pushed himself up to a kneeling position, then they say if you put your hands down for any reason I'm going to shoot you. "Now crawl towards me!" Well which is it, crawl or keep my hands up??? I think I would have laid there with my hands interlocked on top of my head and my legs crossed and let them yell to their hearts content, that fucker was way to jacked up and I'm not moving an inch. Eventually they will walk over and cuff my ass, maybe I'll get tased or something but it's the least likely way I'll get shot.

Unbelievable that he was found not guilty of at least manslaughter.

With good behavior he could be out in a few years on parol. His biggest worry will be avoiding other prisoners.

I'm pretty sure you have to do all your time when its federal time. State time you can almost always get out much earlier but he was convicted on federal charges.

Edit: I take that back, Federal prisoners serve an average of 87% of their sentences which is still a hellofa lot more than state, at least in Louisiana and we really love throwing people in jail here. We are the number one state in prisoners in the number one country for prisoners, so that is one thing that we are the best of the best at.

Been here off and on since 1974 US Navy then settled here after my retirement.

I agree. It should have been life. I would have been OK with the death penalty. He shot him several times in the back while he was running away. Then planted a drop weapon from what I understand.

Still, Slager pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Scott’s civil rights. As part of a plea agreement reached in May, prosecutors dropped state murder charges.

It was a federal conviction as it was plea bargain (which I am opposed to). But your claim to Know what would have happened in some hypothetical situation is incorrect. You do not.

And you think it is possible for him to KNOW the outcome of something that didn't happen?
sure, the same way people know that God exists, except his claim still has more merit based on observable evidence.

That is the diversion.

You are being moronic.
You just dont like the fact I used your own belief logic as an example. so cross your arms and pout about it.

fact is, LEO's literally get away woth murder more than anyone with a shred of integrity carss to admit.

you wanna focus on the word "know", well know this, fuck your feels.

You lost the narrative and refuse to admit it so you throw out a feeble diversion in an attempt to bait me into a different subject altogether. I'm not taking the bait.

I'm also not arguing about how often LEOs get away or not. That is also not the argument.

He don't know and you don't know what would have happened. And one other thing I know is this your diversion sucked and backfired. So now you are all butt hurt about it and only want to lash out at me. Maybe it is your feels you should be concerned about, mine are fine.

it was never a diversion to begin with. go read my post again, its not very long. there was no narrative for me to follow. you jumped at a chance to get someone who used the word know, and i threw it back atcha.

you simply are uncomfortable with belief being presented to you that way.

you dont know god exists, outside of your feels. Just like that poster doesnt know what wouldve transpired in a different playout of the situation.

thats on you...know this, body cams make a difference.

Based on a mountain of previous examples, yes, I can say with absolute confidence that I can very easily predict the outcome of the case had there not been video evidence.

Wow, look at the circle jerk. What no one seems to have mentioned yet is that if this attempted cop murderer (he reached for the taser, it seems) kept running in the direction he was going he would have looped around, eventually ending up exactly where he started and, much worse, he would be coming up from behind the cop. The officer was forced to shoot to the man to protect himself and to ensure Mr. Scott could no longer terrorize South Carolina with his broken tail light.

Alternatively: If he didn't want to get shot, he shouldn't have run.

It appears you a wrong on all counts, not sure whose alt this is but you'll log in again someday

so what you're saying is, this dude was the Flash but didn't have a chance to get up to speed yet.

makes sense, sounds like self defense to me.

The above exchange is hilarious

LOL. Diverting again I see. Go away now I'm finished with you.

Body Cams? I never mentioned them. I don't think Michael Slager had one on
