i wonder what just cause he may have had to pick up the taser and plant it next to the body. I'm sure it was something having to do with duty, honor, and sacrifice. things lesser citizens like myself just wouldn't understand.

That's circumstantial evidence at best, and as even you admit doesn't explain or justify planting the taser on the body or lying about administering CPR. Even if evidence surfaced that Scott did at one point take control of the taser (have you considered that maybe the cop just yelled "taser!" because he was already trying to manufacture his cover story? that fits better with the evidence planting), all this deception and tampering with evidence should be enough to put the cop in jail, albeit on lesser charges than murder.
Somehow I don't think you'd be so gung-ho about waiting for more evidence to come out if the situation were reversed and we were trying to figure out the circumstances of the officer's murder.

I'm not on the officers side either way, he appears to change the position of the taser & I agree that that is bad. Cpr thing doesn't really matter as he was dead either way, though I can see how lying about it can definitely hurt any defense towards innocence.
The idea it was premeditated and he was yelling "taser" a la Jimbo's "he's coming right at us" seems kinda foolish, imo the officer was tased after being assaulted and was angry and acted very rashly. It's a bad shoot, but it's manslaughter, not Murder one.
The fact he was yelling "Taser, Taser, Taser," the fact the taser appears to be on the ground & the fact he seemed to be getting up when he was shooting.

I'm not damming him, I'm saying lets actually wait for evidence. I'm giving theories as to why jumping to conclusions makes you look dumb, not sure why everyone is rushing toward that goal.
Yes, I've both used and been shot with one. You?
