South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder in Black Man’s Death

[Mobdeeper7239]

These posts make me realize how good I've got it.
My nearest neighbor is almost a half mile away.
I live in gods country

damn you live in the woods?

We called the cops 3-4 times a week because of illegal activity at the end of our dead end street. drugs, prostitution, murder. last house on the end so we saw it all. One time these two dudes were taking turns with a shovel digging something in the woods. We called the cops told them what we saw, they came out and arrested one dude. We called again and told them there's two guys and the other is in the woods hiding...mother fuckers aint listen. Cop drives off never searches shit and the dude stumbles out and walks away.

Seen another dude get shot and then get his leg run over, he crawled in my neighbors truck and chilled until the cops came. Real life shit happens every day people don't hear nothing. Cops get paid to show up and leave, no one succeeds

Yeah I live in the middle of a 103 acre farm, a biking/walking trail about 100 yds from the house.
Lived in lakeland Fl in the mid 80's, saw a lot of shit I don't want to remember.
Life is good here

Lol. haters louder than my sour stash

Less than 1% of cops are bad.
Less than 1% of cops are racist pieces of shit.

This guy was a dipshit and he deserves everything that is coming to him but if you are using this to fuel your anti-police rhetoric I feel you are sorely misguided.

No one knows if this guy was even racist or shot the suspect because of race but you can bet that is exactly what the media will focus on. There are white guys killed by white cops every day. Black guys killed by black cops every day. The media only cares about white officers killing black guys. This cop might have shot a white Mormon missionary that ran. Who knows. Officer obviously had something wrong with his head. He was a shit cop/person. The media doesn't care about any of that.

It's not an epidemic.... it's just all the media will cover. Wanna know why?? Because we eat it up. It's true. Ratings go up for news stations when they can play the race card.

99% of cops are solid. There are a lot of cops. Tens of thousands. Maybe more. That leaves room for a lot of assholes.

I'm just saying you shouldn't hate all cops because of the bad ones. Don't hate all Muslims because of the bad ones. Don't hate all Christians or Somalians because of the bad ones.

Some of the best families in America are Nigerian. If they have enough money to come over they are making sure their kids are intelligent as hell. Likely more intelligent than your kids. My future kids. Nigerians are setting the bar extremely high. Looks up the stats. Nigerian immigrants are smarter than most Americans. Muslim mosques offer food to everyone. It doesn't matter if you are homeless or just in need of a quick bite. They'll make sure you get fed. It's a part of the religion that the media won't ever focus on. It's not good news. It doesn't get people riled up. When they get us idiots riled up they know we'll tune in. Welcome to modern day news.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. This cop was an asshole and he won't have a good time in jail. Justice will be served. Most cops aren't like that. If your belief system is based on the things you see in the news I hope you reevaluate your entire belief system.

Most people are good. Some are not. Color and uniform and religion and situation don't define a person; their individual actions do. If you don't let someone's actions define who they are before judging them then you might be one of the bad ones. Anyway, speech over.

Well said man

 

[Well-Seasoned]

I would say at least 20% of them I've encountered either through Roadblocks, Traffic Stops, and wherever definitely had issues........for no reason

20% is a big number considering how many of them there are in the U.S.

The attitude was very unprofessional at best and like I said.......for no reason.

I would even go as far to say some incidents around the country could have been prevented with a more professional attitude instead of putting people on the defense which can escalate fear which makes them act out of that fear and then cop escalates things and back and forth and then something tragic happens.
Basically, the cops at times can create negative vibes and energy by their unprofessional approach even when it is not validated to do so

 

[Well-Seasoned]

Now its easier said than done, but cops that have the ability to have a short memory and not let their emotions from a hour or hours ago affect how they treat the next person they encounter would go a long way.....So yeah through screening they gotta find ones with super-thick skin and a very short memory like a cornerback in the NFL after getting beat for a Touchdown plus they also need the ability to realize they are serving the community and getting paid to do that.
If they are just a little too emotional then it just builds and builds to the next people they encounter and before long they start assuming and generalizing people in the area they work way more than they should.

Is the media asking questions in this case? Not justifying the shooting at all but how about these questions:

1. Does the officer's car have a dashboard cam? If so can we see the footage?
2. It says he was pulled over for a brake light issue. If so, why the hell does it look like they are in a park on a dirt path with no car in sight? Did the guy run from the car and get caught in the park, a scuffle ensued, and he started running again when the camera started filming and he was shot?

Enfuego, you are worse than some of our wives. You will argue Just to argue

 

[Betallsports]

Dude, I'm a war veteran and haven't see shit compared to what these guys see in the inner-city each day.

Active Duty ??

Because i could have thought you had said you were more into communications

 

[MikeB]

Enfuego, you are worse than some of our wives. You will argue Just to argue

I don't disagree with this at all, but in this case I think Enfuegos larger point is that you can't paint all Cops with such a broad stroke.

Some of these posters would have you believe that out of the millions of Police Officers in the US, 80% of them (or more) are in some way corrupt or evil.

I call it a difference of opinion. That's what the forums are about.

If we all agreed, life would be boring.

Been active for years now.

 

[Betallsports]

Yeah, meant like action ...
you could be active, but not see action.

I'll tell you a story sometime Betall. I almost lost my life one day a few years ago. The lives of many of my buddies were lost on one day. Think about it often.

Cop had prior incidents that went unreported.

The guy who recorded the video said with out any doubt that the investigation was headed in the wrong direction. Cop claimed he feared for his life. Without the video they could of manipulated the autopsy report by saying he tripped and fell and guy had weapon so cop shot him in the back after he tripped. That proves that the cops ONLY acted becasue the video was out and known about. Other wise they would of tried to cover up for their own. Its what happens when you abuse authority you fuck up then refuse to admit your wrong doing unless there is clear proof. It is common sense. I've dealt with more teacher problems than anyone on this forum. Ha, and you think I don't like cops lol

1) The previous incident was reported by a guy named Givens. He reported Slager came to his house in the middle of the night and tased him for new good reason. The cops said it was investigated and cop exonerated. They are now re-looking at the results of that investigation. So yes, that incident was reported and investigated.

2) A cop can't manipulate an autopsy report. The report is completed by a separate agency than a police department. It's done by a doctor. Then, the report is publicly released.

Would this case have been harder to prove without the video? Sure. Would the cop have gotten off? I say "no" but who knows? The autopsy would've shown the cop was guilty of excessive force.
