Thread: Video Shows Officer Shooting Unarmed Black Man in South Carolina

And even worse, it shows the execution style murder of an unarmed black guy in a manner that is totally illegal and should send this killer to a very very long time in jail.

More nonsense.

You have no idea of the facts. All you have is a made up scenario in your head and used that to prejudge the person.

What nonsense? The video is crystal clear and clearly shows the officer gunning down a man who is zero threat to him whatsoever and most likely never was.

There is no defense for this horrendous act of murder, pure and simple.

Yes, what you post is indeed not very sensible, because there is no defense for what this officer did, none.

Oh, you'll find that some will defend it regardless. What are you? New to DP?

This is you ignoring what occurred just prior top the shooting.
This isn't as cut and dried as you seem to think.
The video, as pointed out by VanceMack, shows the deceased throwing down a black object as the Officer is pulling his firearm.

Yes that is what you have been engaged in.

At the moment of the shooting it doesn't appear as the Officer knew he threw it down.
If so, this would indicate that the Officer (in his mind) was responding to an actual threat.

That information and whether he moved the tazer after the fact and why, may be the difference between manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter and that of a murder conviction.

Wow, talk about dreaming up a non-existent scenario rather than looking at this video and see the threads of a deployed taser hanging in the air and the man running away from the officer being zero threat to him.

Sorry, but your comments make no sense whatsoever when seeing the evidence on tape. The man lied, the officer moved the tazer over to make it look like he had been struggling. NO police officer would ever do something like that (picking up a discharged tazer and dropping him at the side of the dying man) for an innocent reason. In fact I think in such an officer involved shooting he is trained not to move or remove evidence. This officer is a murderer and he will hopefully be spending a nice number of years in jail for this heinous act.

What matter is the facts. He clearly has not cited them.

Unlike you, I haven't made anything up.

But this is again a great example of you making things up.
You have no idea what was moved or why. That all exists in your own imaginative thoughts.

The NYTimes conveniently puts their disclamer banner in a crucial spot just prior to the officer drawing and shooting.

While I think based on what I viewed, that the officer could have ran after, or somehow physically subdued the suspect, we don't know all the facts surrounding this, and they will come out.

So, I guess all the cop haters, and anarchist can now proceed to gather their lynch mobs, and Sharpton, and Jackson can make more money with lies and ginned up outrage.

Sad really.
