Caught On Tape: South Carolina Cop Shoots Unarmed Man 8 Times In The Back

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Activists plan to protest in South Carolina today, according to Reuters, after a white police officer was caught on video fatally shooting a 50-year-old black man in the back as he ran away following a traffic stop. The officer has been charged with murder and the FBI and U.S. Justice Department are investigating the shooting, the latest in a series of incidents that have raised questions about U.S. policing and race relations.

As Reuters reports, the video shows a brief scuffle between the pair before Scott begins to run away.

Slager is then seen taking aim with a handgun before shooting eight times at Scott's back. Scott then slumps facedown onto the grass.

 

According to a police report, Slager told other officers Scott had taken his stun gun from him.

 

At no point in the video, which does not show the initial contact between the men, does Scott appear to be armed.

 

Slager is seen placing the victim in handcuffs as he lies on the ground, and then the officer walks back to a spot near where he opened fire.

 

The video then shows him appearing to pick something up, return to Scott, and then drop it next to him on the ground.

* * *

You decide...

 

As Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger exclaims, the video above is really hard to watch. Not just because we see a police officer gunning down a man as he ran away, but because he repeatedly yells at a dead body to “put his hands behind his back,” and then seemingly plants his taser by the corpse to cover up the crime.

The officer, Michael T. Slager, 33, said he had feared for his life because the man had taken his stun gun in a scuffle after a traffic stop on Saturday. A video, however, shows the officer firing eight times as the man, Walter L. Scott, 50, fled. The North Charleston mayor announced the state charges at a news conference Tuesday evening.

 

The video, which was taken by a bystander and provided to The New York Times by the Scott family’s lawyer, presents a different account. The video begins in the vacant lot, apparently moments after Officer Slager fired his Taser. Wires, which carry the electrical current from the stun gun, appear to be extending from Mr. Scott’s body as the two men tussle and Mr. Scott turns to run.

 

Something — it is not clear whether it is the stun gun — is either tossed or knocked to the ground behind the two men, and Officer Slager draws his gun, the video shows. When the officer fires, Mr. Scott appears to be 15 to 20 feet away and fleeing. He falls after the last of eight shots.

 

The officer then runs back toward where the initial scuffle occurred and picks something up off the ground. Moments later, he drops an object near Mr. Scott’s body, the video shows.

 

- From the New York Times article: South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder in Black Man’s Death

The video at the end of this story is really hard to watch. Not just because we see a police officer gunning down a man as he ran away, but because he repeatedly yells at a dead body to “put his hands behind his back,” and then seemingly plants his taser by the corpse to cover up the crime.

Just like with banker theft, unless people are held accountable with serious jail time, the criminality will not only continue, it will get worse. The rule of law must be restored and applied equally to the rich and powerful, or we are truly doomed as a society.

Coincidentally, this horrific incident came to light on the same day I posted that: U.S. Police Kill More Civilians in March than UK Police Killed in 100 Years.

Now from the New York Times:

WASHINGTON — A white police officer in North Charleston, S.C., was charged with murder on Tuesday after a video surfaced showing him shooting in the back and killing an apparently unarmed black man while the man ran away.

 

The officer, Michael T. Slager, 33, said he had feared for his life because the man had taken his stun gun in a scuffle after a traffic stop on Saturday. A video, however, shows the officer firing eight times as the man, Walter L. Scott, 50, fled. The North Charleston mayor announced the state charges at a news conference Tuesday evening.

 

North Charleston is South Carolina’s third-largest city, with a population of about 100,000. African-Americans make up about 47 percent of residents, and whites account for about 37 percent. The Police Department is about 80 percent white, according to data collected by the Justice Department in 2007, the most recent period available.

 

The shooting unfolded after Officer Slager stopped the driver of a Mercedes-Benz with a broken taillight, according to police reports. Mr. Scott ran away, and Officer Slager chased him into a grassy lot that abuts a muffler shop. He fired his Taser, an electronic stun gun, but it did not stop Mr. Scott, according to police reports.

 

Moments after the struggle, Officer Slager reported on his radio: “Shots fired and the subject is down. He took my Taser,” according to police reports.

But the video, which was taken by a bystander and provided to The New York Times by the Scott family’s lawyer, presents a different account. The video begins in the vacant lot, apparently moments after Officer Slager fired his Taser. Wires, which carry the electrical current from the stun gun, appear to be extending from Mr. Scott’s body as the two men tussle and Mr. Scott turns to run.

 

Something — it is not clear whether it is the stun gun — is either tossed or knocked to the ground behind the two men, and Officer Slager draws his gun, the video shows. When the officer fires, Mr. Scott appears to be 15 to 20 feet away and fleeing. He falls after the last of eight shots.

The officer then runs back toward where the initial scuffle occurred and picks something up off the ground. Moments later, he drops an object near Mr. Scott’s body, the video shows.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering…

The Supreme Court has held that an officer may use deadly force against a fleeing suspect only when there is probable cause that the suspect “poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.”

 

Mr. Scott’s brother said his mother had called him on Saturday, telling him that his brother had been shot by a Taser after a traffic stop. “You may need to go over there and see what’s going on,” he said his mother told him. When he arrived at the scene of the shooting, officers told him that his brother was dead, but he said they had no explanation for why. “This just doesn’t sound right,” he said in an interview. “How do you lose your life at a traffic stop?”

The video above shows how... in today's new-normal!

" U.S. Police Kill More Civilians in March than UK Police Killed in 100 Years."

Clearly we need gun control in the US, that is the confiscation of all firearms owned or carried by cops.   The cops need to be disarmed, not the aveage citizen.

Secondly, it took 8 shots and that is piss poor shooting.  Clearly the cop does not know how to handle a firearm. 

Thirdly, in ANY situation where a private citizen shoots and kills someone in self defense one on the first things looked at is if the attacker was shot in the back.  If he was then he was moving away from the victim and posed no threat

Rioting is a growth industry - creating jobs to rebuild businesses burn't down, and insurance payouts increase GDP as inventory that has been stolen has to be replaced...

Do not downvote me because I think this is horrible - but the cop is deliberately going to get acquited or some summary tiny sentence like 6 months in jail, and it will ALL be done on purpose to make sure that people riot enmasse - because without rioters you have no need for a police state. 

Ying and Yang.

Here's the quote from the linked NYT article. It doesn't sound a whole lot better.

Mr. Stewart said the coroner had told him that Mr. Scott was struck five times — three times in the back, once in the upper buttocks and once in the ear — with at least one bullet entering his heart. It is not clear whether Mr. Scott died immediately. (The coroner’s office declined to make the report available to The Times.)

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that it wouldn't have even made the news if there was no vid. It would be another 'cop's word vs. peon' with a lot of conflicting eye witness accounts. It would have made the eighth-page, right after the garbage collectors' wage negotiations. There would have been a few marches - maybe. But in the end, NOTHING.

The ONLY reason this made news is because of dumb luck - someone was there and took a video, offering immediate proof the cop was lying.

OK, 8 shots, and he was still running until #8.  Not only was the cop a murderer and a lard butt, but he couldn't shoot either.  He started out with a tazer (imagine if the tazer wasn't available?), and did he consider shooting for the man's legs? Did the cop know he wasn't at a shooting range, where emptying your clip into a fake piece of paper is not egregious or criminal?  Basically, what was this idiot cop thinking?  I'll say thinking is not his strong suit.

Now the murdered man was running for some reason - but of course doesn't deserve 8 shots in the back in cold blood.  As much as criminal and gangsta behavior is idiotic, and wrestling with and running from a cop doesn't seem very wise, what the cop did was even more idiotic, as they ostensibly represent 'law' and 'order.'  Brilliant training and decision making for this cop, hmm?

The murdered guy had an outstanding warrant for something like non-payment of child support. He didn't want to get arrested for it, especially after being stopped for a bullshit 'broken taillight' excuse so the cop could fish for some kind of evidence of a crime. He also just got tazed by the cop, so he already wasn't being obedient.

This was in North Charleston - not exactly the hub of racial harmony. As soon as the cop saw this guy's spinny chrome rims, he was a dead man.

This is one side of the problem. Blacks commit 50 percent of the violent crimes in the country including rape, murder, theft, etc. They make up the flash mobs where they randomly attack white people and loot stores. See the book "White Girl Bleeds a Lot" for instance after instance of this happening in big cities everywhere. The morons who carry out these attacks then upload them to YouTube. The book links you to those videos. The media only focuses on white on black crime to paint a false reality of what is really happening. They are meant to further create a "false consciousness" about the nature of crime in America. Grow up.

 

I'll also add that the title of this article is incorrect. He did not shoot the guy 8 times in the back. The cop fired at him 8 times while he was fleeing.

So to the present case: you wanna tell every knucklehead in the USSA (Free Mumiyah, yo!) that it's OK to muscle up with cops and then run away? Because that's what this case appears to come down to.

And you know goddamn well that every Urban Terrorist- ahem- Activist Cell in the USSA is going to preach the Eternal Innocence of Negroes, and protest the Evil White Waycist that won't let them attack people at random, which if it's not outright White Supremacist Oppression, is definitely an infringement on their civil rights as a protected species to attack people at random. And soon, just like in Ferguson, some knucklehead is going to decide to get down with the struggle and snipe some cops for some dead dindu media martyr, some other knuckleheads are going to burn down the last businesses still operating in their neighborhood, and yet still other knuckleheads are going to push for more federal monies, because, gibs.

We already know how the MSM/PC elite will play this.. And I don't give a shit. You don't wanna get shot, don't attack people. That goes for you, Trayvon, and you too, Mike Brown. We have a justice system, let it work. The facts will out. We'll see about this cop. We'll see about this perp. I will reserve judgement.

But this country has lost its goddamned mind. Why do we have a Police State in the Land of Liberty? One, a whole lot of people get paid administering it. Two, we got a whole lot of stupid, violent idiots with no sense, the media tells them it's OK to attack random people (including cops), and we breed more of them everyday.

It turns out Charlie Manson wasn't crazy, he was just early. Helter Skelter, bitchez.

Your statement is simply moronic given the facts stated about the case.  Traffic stop for broken light does not mean dangerous criminal in any court on the planet.  Lethal force against and unarmed man running away is simply murder. 

So yeah, we don't know what happened previously but we do know the man was unarmed and fleeing.  This is murder.  The appropriate response is execute the murderer as he is the proven danger to others.

CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : SAN DIEGO : Ex-Police Officer Faces New Charges November 02, 1991|From Times Staff and Wire Reports

 

 

Former San Diego Police Officer Henry Hubbard, already charged in one attack, was arraigned on 30 additional counts involving sex crimes, kidnaping and attempted robbery in an alleged string of assaults last summer. Eight of the new counts involve allegations of illegal sex acts with two girls 13 and 14 years old. The other counts include charges that he kidnaped, raped, sexually assaulted or robbed seven more women. Hubbard also is charged with robbing some of the victims' male companions. Hubbard, 29, pleaded not guilty to the 30 new counts and to the five counts of attempted murder and attempted robbery that had already been filed against him. He was ordered to stand trial on the five counts after a preliminary hearing last week.

 

Just because it has not happened to you does not mean that it does not happen.

 

I can find many other horror stories.

 

In fact directly afterwards the TeeVee Stations (I used to watch the news at that time...) suggested that women drive to the Police Station if the were redlighted by a cop in a dark secluded area.

 

And if you make any jokes about rape I am going to be really pissed as it has happened to someone I love deeply...as if this article did not manipulate my emotions and piss me off already.

COSMOS , this guy was running away because he was going to debtors prison... he owed back child support and had a warrant out for his arrest.... how he earns money while in jail or how that helps him get or keep a job that allows him to pay the child support is something you need to ask the courts about.. I don't see how that helps. I think we'll also see before this is over that this traffic stop was a pretense stop to arrest him and thatthe taillight is working... Every Mercedes I've been in has a bulb monitor that alerts you when a light is out (or even if you have mismatched bulbs).

We did not see the stop from the very beginning.  Why was this not shot from the start of the encounter.  Anyways like I said had this thug and his 21 inch rims killed a few people later on after evading arrest we would of been like why was that man not stopped.  Why did he run away, what did he have on him.  Busted light, take your ticket, there is more to this.

COSMOS, what does the rest of the video have to do with anything.  The Mayor and the Chief of Police now have stated the cop is going to be charged iwth murder.  Don't you think that if there was even an iota's chance of something having happened prior to the time the video was taken, the Mayor and Chief wouldn't have come out so fast to charge this asshole?  And don't you think the original lawyer would still be on the case?  Hell, the orginal lawyer defended this turd at first, but once the evidence came out, he dropped him like a hot potato.  There's nothing prior to the start of the video that vindicates this piece of trash.

And as for why the video wasn't taken from the very beginning of th traffic stop, maybe, just maybe the person taking the video didn't have his phone out until he saw the cop chasing the guy.  Would it have been more to your liking for the videographer to go to these two guys and ask them to start the whole thing over so he could get the complete footage?  You're either being purposely trollful, or you are th biggest idiot on the planet, and given the idiots around, that's saying a lot.

The brutality of this murder is a wake-up call to people who contend racism no longer is a major issue in Western society. If you are sympathetic towards this murderer, especially in the face of the evidence this video provided, then frankly you do require a psychiatric evaluation.

I also question why the video started filming where it did, didnt provide enough information of what transpired before hand. Anyways, my first thoughts were like the first poster, the cop was too lazy to give chase and decided to get the job done, which rightfully or wrongfully is still in doubt. Anyways, that cop should be dismissed and punished for either being a KKK member or a lazy pig of a cop.

Another fact was that this video is taken from the NYTimes, another trusted source of the Zio owned media. Maybe this is a signal to Obama that if he dont bend over and apologize to BiBi for his recent dissing, his kind will keep getting taken down (starting with the Ferguson incident)

And EML, stop calling COSMOS a racist because he aint one.

I disagree. She's an individual who is myopically loyal to a status quo that serves her ethno-centric interests at the expense of other groups in her society. This speaks to a sympathy for right-wing extremist policies. That her most vocal supporter managed to find a way to drag anti-semitism into the matter speaks volumes as well.

I think the both of you are a testament to how disturbed and confused a society the United States is. I'm happy to have no part of it.

It's called Leftist Agitprop. The methodology is to go on the attack immediately with the Big Slur: racism. Then, while the accused is defending itself against that charge, the Leftist is free to press forward with more total fucking nonsense like asserting the racial bias of all american police departments, or even the racial bias of all Americans, or of all White People, etc. 

A lesson from Game may prove useful here. Never acquiesce to a shit-test. Instead, Agree and Amplify.

I'm sorry, I want cops to be held to the same standard that I would be when shooting somebody.  Was there an IMMINENT threat to his or somebody elses life?  No.  If there was no imminent threat, then what happened before is IRRELEVANT.  That is the standard that I would be held to. I'm sick of this "but but but we didn't get to see what happened before!  Maybe the guy was a thug and deserved it!" bullshit.  Fuck that.  It's not the cops job to kill people because somebody somewhere thinks that they deserve it.  As long as we're going to have a government, this should apply to the lowliest gangster out there.  No IMMINENT threat, no lethal force, period.  I don't want to have to worry about gangsters with badges shooting my ass because they don't like the way I talk to them or look.

Amazing thread here. Had to read a whole page and come back up to find a bit of sanity to reply to!

Basically COSMOS is "dominating" the discussion (imo by being it's usual self) with the argument that I summarize with "that guy could have done something after the encounter"

as such, it's interesting that so many even bothered to answer to this (here an interesting video on memes and "angry memes" to that)

Eirik Magnus Larssen wrote a few interesting lines:

"you consistentlly seem to display an inability of experiencing empathy for other people. This is common for psychopaths."

perhaps. but if you do have a strong in-group ethos, people outside your in-group aren't really people, only caricatures. it is perfectly "normal" (in the statistical sense) to find a minority in any population that does feel empathy for it's in-group members while feeling less or none for out-group members

one quibble: "The brutality of this murder is a wake-up call to people who contend racism no longer is a major issue in Western society"

agree. but do we have to talk about Western society in this case? As Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger exclaims:

U.S. Police Kill More Civilians in March than UK Police Killed in 100 Years.

I contend that most of this is all the result of policies. US-specific policies. With results like:

- a vast and thriving business of private prisons in the US, which has some effects on

- a vast and thriving corruption of the judicial system in the US, leading to amazing 95% of all charges being solved out of tribunal, with admissions of guilt

- a vast and thriving "sprawl" of police units with overlapping competences

coupled with a few social phenomenons (like Americans tending to migrate to ZIP Codes where they are among "their own") which increase the strenght of all this, and a media that is obsessed with violence... because it sells even better then sex

so yes, race has a role in this, but the "how to manage police and prisons, and by reflection the judicial system" has a bigger role in it, imho

Fact: The Tuskegee Institute concluded that 3,445 Africans were lynched in the USA from 1882-1968. Of course, 1,297 Whites were also lynched during the same period, because racism, yo. (http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/lynchingyear.html)

Fact: a 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveals that approximately 8,000 Africans are murdered annually in the USA. 93% of these murders are perpetrated by other Africans. (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/bvvc.pdf)

So the Evil White Waycist Klan only managed a bodycount of 3,445 over an 86 year period, assuming they were behind all of it, because White People are a priori racist, yo. Which is awfully close to making blanket statements about another ethnicity. Which is racist.

Africans rack up a bodycount easily double that every year. What's that called? Savagery? Typical African behavior? 

If by conservative, you mean opposing all efforts to turn my advanced civilization into the fucking Congo, and calling out Leftist Liars attempting to smear my people, then count me in.

Yeah, stereotypes are often right... but to call this man a "thug" for running from a traffic violation turned violent, and then getting shot 8 times in the back by a cop who planted evidence... I dunno, what missing footage would justify that behavior?

The 'thug' scurried away fearfully, at a languid pace. The offICER, almost 2 decades younger, could have easily taken him down.

Cosmos, you are hopeless. Haven't you been paying any attention. Blacks have well justified reasons to fear cops in America. Last time I was in a bar fight, [a long time ago], to get a jump on things,  one Stephen Epps threw the table we were sitting at into the group who came hunting for me. [We was badly outnumbered] to give us a chance to punch our way to the door. After we got outside, we sat on the curb and had one of the biggest, most ferocious, back-slapping laughs I ever had in my life. Epps was a Black man from Alabama and you are an idiot with your over simple generalizations.

Take a GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR FAGGOT.

 

SHE..IS...FEMALE. SHE IS A GIRL..YOUNG AT THAT...IN HER EARLY TWENTIES.

 

But fags like you cannot discern that.

 

Oh I am not defending her attitude by ANY MEANS. She is as narcissistic and egocentric as most Millenials. She is very simplistic in her ability to reason.

 

It is all about her and she cannot think past her own self. Just ask her.

 

Perhaps she will grow up one day. With experience the kids generally do.

 

But she allows her own anecdotal experience form her base of "knowledge". If it does not happen to her then it does not happen. After all it is all about her.

 

Unfortunately she grew up in the cesspool of FloriDUH. (Not to say that all of Florida is a cesspool. There are some bright spots.)

 

And black people can be just as racist as white people and targeted her because she was white. (And I know that from anecdotal experience but I have GROWN UP LONG AGO.)

 

Hopefully she will realize that people are people and that melanin content has no real bearing upon behavior.

 

But then we have a FAG in the White House who has not grown up and is still as racist as he was when he was attending High School.

 

But that does not concern you FAGGOT, does it?

2nd degree murder, plus filing false reports, and being a piece of shit.

Why not just give the cop the same justice as the thug, as you put it and give him 2 secs before we start shooting. Would you call that justice? Two thugs gone. problem solved

No, she's The "Foremost J-Mafia Expert", She told me herself...

And apparently has the powers to see and predict future crimes.

Sounds like your average joe NSA Agent to me, or the trophy wife of a Grand Wizard.....

I like how thug has become the new nigger. It's not even subtle. I think the media enjoys it because you can safely pander to people's basest instincts without being censored.

It kind of sucks because now when you see a thug and call them a thug the word doesn't mean what the word actually means.

People like cosmos cause this shit, calling people thugs because they are too cowardly to use the words they really mean.  Same for communists who call themselves progressives or liberals.

Nonsense...  The term nigger strikes at characteristics that a person cannot change (michael jackson tried though!).  It has a pretty darn clear history.

On the other hand, thug merely refers to one's actions and persona.  These are things that a person can change...  and that are often at odds with civilized society.  There are thugs from wallstreet to MLK blvd...  some wear suits, some wear hoodies.

I prefer the term thug nigger myself.  Enables me to distinguish them from thug crackers, and thug spics and thug slopes.  Why do I need to make the distinction?  Makes it easier for the cops to sift through the thugs and get the right one.

I don't know this S.C. town, but when I walk around Civic Center in S.F., I can imagine what it must be like to be a cop, going from one social catastrophe to another, hour after hour, day after day. 

Just look at the hordes of crazy, thuggy people hanging out all day, all night!

I agree that the police are brutal. And I wish they were otherwise. But cops have to get a little slack, being faced with the difficult, dangerous, and endless task of sorting out our human refuse. 

Make no mistake. One way or another, this nation needs to clean house. It is being overrun by an arrogant, ungrateful FSA of petty criminals.

That is stupid.  The tighter the police try to control people the more the situation will slip out of their hands.  They are there to protect and serve not harass and destroy.

If somebody doesn't like being a cop, if being a cop is too difficult, stop propping up the madness and stop being a cop.

The only slack a thugcop deserves lies at the business end of a noose.  Nobody forced anyone to be a cop.  Nobody forced a thugcop to use lethal force.  If you are a cop, you wear body armor for a reason.  You'd think they were china dolls the way they murder first and hide behind they seargent's smiling face later.  This one might be on his way to being a good prison showerpunk.  It's a coin flip, tho.  50% chance he hears 'nott guilty'.  Fuck the cops.

" Dont run away trying to committ a crime another day."

Just think, if the cop hadn't killed that guy he might have continued to drive around with a broken taillight. We can't have that, can we. The penalty for a broken taillight is either a ticket or death, at the cops discretion.

Most likely that pimp mobile would of rolled around a few drive by shootings, where some innocent civilians got killed.  Or some other crime scenes.

Hey, the perp's profile was run through the proprietary algorithm.  Black, young, male.  Probably guilty of a violent felony within the prior two weeks.  It was case closed when he tried to run away.  Clearly, he was guilty.  <sarc off>.

He wasn't even young.  He was in his fifties and could hardly run.
