Murder charge for cop who shot fleeing man

Walter Scott shot dead while fleeing police.

South Carolina police officer Michael Slager was indicted for murder in the shooting and killing of motorist Walter Scott.

The North Charleston officer was captured in April on video chasing Scott, a 50-year-old black man, and shooting him after he allegedly tried to grab his stun gun.

“Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare Is Becoming Our Reality” chronicles how America has arrived at the point of being a de facto police state, and what led to an out-of-control government that increasingly ignores the Constitution. Order today!

The video indicates Scott was running when Slager, from several feet away, fired his gun eight times. Scott was hit five times and died at the scene.

Scarlett Wilson, the South Carolina prosecutor, said a grand jury voted to indict on murder. Slager’s attorney, Andy Savage, told CNN the prosecutor had yet to provide the requested investigative files and therefore he could not issue a comment on “any aspect” of the case.
