Thank god

Thank god that the evidence actually favored the prosecution? You goddamn people need to realize that most of the cases that you're all up in arms about are completely justified. Tray on? Justified. Brown justified. Tamir? Justified. Rodney King? Competely fucking g justified.

This case? Not fucking justified and the evidence showed that.

Quit letting cnn shit up your brains.

wha wha wha whataboutism!!!

Stop feeding him please.

Take note undecideds. Notice how no one has actually even tried to pick apart post 32. Their only recourse is to attack me because they have nothing else.

I think we need to once again thank the guy who video taped this.

Here's a fun look at how this story was reported before the video emerged:
https://fair.org/home/media-were-already-running-with-police-fantasy-when-video-exploded-it/

In all police killings, one sidethe victimis, by definition, dead. So the both sides type of reporting were so often used to almost invariably becomes a one-sided airing of accounts, facts and selective details from the police side that the corporate media repeats without question. Indeed, Charlestons local ABC affiliate would begin their report with, what turned out to be, an outright lie:

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) A man involved in a traffic stop that turned into a physical altercation with a North Charleston police officer died Saturday after being shot by the officer.

But the New York Times video shows there was no physical altercation. There was someone being shot in the back eight times while trying to run away. The report would go on to mix up police assertion with fact again, seemingly inventing witnesses who werent there:

Police and witnesses say Scott tried to run from Slager before turning to fight for the officers taser. It was during that scuffle that the officer fired his service weapon, fatally wounding Scott.

But what witnesses? I have asked the reporter, Greg Woods, to name the witnesses he documented; as of press time, he has not responded. Woods did not, in any of his reports, actually quote any witnesses saying they saw a fight. What appears to have happened is that Woods was told by police there were witnesses and he reported it, uncritically.

In another piecethat, in fairness, did have interviews with the victims familylocal CBS affiliate WCSC effectively handed the report over to North Charleston police for their uninterrupted retelling of events:

Slager deployed his taser weapon to detain the driver but was unsuccessful, Pryor said.

Police say an altercation then began between Slager and Scott, resulting in a fight for the officers taser.

During the fight, Scott gained control of the taser to use it against the officer who then fired his service weapon at the suspect, Pryor said.

While en route, the sergeant reported that he heard Slager say that he deployed his taser and was requesting for back up units, and seconds later reported shots fired and the subject is down, he took my taser.

We now know, by the sheer accident of someone filming the event, this narrative was false. We know Scott never gained control of a taser, and we know Scott only received medical attention from police minutes after they planted a weapon on him and handcuffed him as he lay dying. But the media, in an effort to report both sides, ends up transcribing the deceptive police report verbatim.

While providing an initial qualifier of spokesman said, NBC affiliate News 2, would do one better and go on to drop this modifier altogether and simply report the police account as fact:

The officer deployed his department-issued taser in an effort to detain the driver, which was not effective. An altercation between the officer and the driver took place, leading to a struggle over the officers taser. During the struggle, the suspect gained control of the taser to use it against the officer.

The officer then discharged his service weapon to stop the threat.

Even though lifesaving efforts were conducted by officers prior to EMSs arrival and EMS efforts on scene, the suspect was pronounced dead.

We now know this account was categorically false, yet its presented in the report as a straight recounting of events.

And yet somehow he did... watch the fucking video my friend.

You're the one who hasn't watched the video if you think he had time to reach for anything

I have watched the video. In fact here it is.

Watcheck at the 8:37 mark. He reaches for his waist band. And the officer only ever claimed he shouted out from inside the vehicle.

Don't shoot people unless they shoot you first. I learned that back in kindergarten.

It can happen. Police officers can be held accountable for their use of deadly firearms. Amazing.

Well, the cop just put in a guilty plea after his first case ended in mistrial.

No telling what would have actually happening if he fought it.

Well that was a dumb way to interpret his post, especially since he gave the alternative to your dumbass assertion right there in the quoted post.
