He handcuffed the guy like he was pretending he was not dead. And he clearly drops something then picks it up again. He did not seem at all concerned for the guy. Scary that someone can be so indifferent.

I have to think that that sort of lack of empathy displayed by the cop, along with his obvious all central self interest, might just give qualify him for being a sociopath.

Do we know much yet about what happened before the Video.. The Cop may have already be unhinged before shooting the guy or the person may have demonstrated to be complete scum. We are assuming off of what we see and not doing much research into the facts behind the video. Mind you if one of my friends killed someone I might try to argue the person he killed was scum. Mind you if someone in my family were killed I might make him out to be a saint!

We can't know much more then what is on the video!


Scott had missed child support payments, which shouldn't be a capital offense. He was unemployed at the time of his death, so it's easy to envision how he could have missed payments due to inability to pay. I'd imagine that scenario of having extremely tight finances is a pretty common one given the economy of the past few years.

The reason he was originally pulled over was for a broken taillight, which isn't even a crime under South Carolina law. So, basically, he was pulled over for Driving While Black.

At some point, the officer used his taser on Scott. After that, Scott fled and was murdered.

The missing portion right now is the time between the unjustified traffic stop and the tasering. How did it escalate to the point where Scott felt unsafe and attempted to flee?

All of which is pretty much irrelevant, at least to the officer being guilty of cold blooded-murder. No matter what happened, no matter how threatened the officer might have reasonably felt in the moments you're talking about, he had no rational or reasonable basis to be in fear for his safety at the moment he shot, when the unarmed man had his back to him and was running away. I suppose what transpired in those intervening moments - how it escalated- etc. might shed some light as to the officer being merely depraved, or being a racist a-hole on top of his depravity, but even if this could be shown to have nothing to do with racism and the officer just being a sick SOB, the incident still highlights a lot of problems that need to be addressed.

Agreed.

Was just adding details to fill in some of that space between A and Dead Man.

Why?

Shooting a fleeing suspect(even one that is armed) is much more often dangerous to pedestrians than simply apprehending the suspect later on, I can't tell you how many times cops end up shooting multiple passerbys because they irresponsibly emptied their clip into a crowd of people. Its the same thing with car chases really, the chase puts civilians at higher risk than the suspect ever does. How would you feel if you had a family member killed because of that?

If you want to qualify it as an active mass shooter or terrorist it is one thing, just being black or having long hair or just not obeying/respecting them is just justification but murder.

It's time to change the law.


I wholeheartedly agree. It's time to pass a law that recognizes supporters of the Police, a known network of criminal gangs and terrorist organizations, as collaborators offering aid and comfort to an occupying enemy force, and authorizing the execution of such traitors.

Or is that not the law you were talking about?

But not a single example of cops frequently emptying their clips into crowds of people can be found.

I wouldn't be surprised if you expect this alleged occupying enemy force to arrest and execute their own supporters.
