South Carolina police officer charged with murder

Can we just agree that Pym is an idiot and move on?

someone else tried to assert that the video was CGI, yet pym wins "retard of the thread". thats impressive.

So why even throw that in my face? The statute you've provided allows an Officer to use lethal force if he "feels" threatened, but by your own admission simply "having a feeling" is not a carte blanche justification for using deadly force, in court, I.E. the context of the discussion.

Technically, being 6'3 and black could make the officer "feel threatened" and thus give him the power to use deadly force, however that would not be a valid justification in a court of law. Similarly, the scenario you outlined above may well have led to the officer "feeling threatened" and thus compelled to use deadly force, but the visible lack of weaponry in the man's hands combined with the fact that he was retreating from the officer with his back to him means that that "feeling" of threat wasn't justified.

because I schooled you so bad in this debate you are acting like a child? Cry harder. coming from some backwards thinking moron such as yourself I'll take that as a compliment.

All I could find was you suggesting that an unarmed man running away from the cops is somehow a threat to cops. LOL.

I suggested we should wait for the facts to come out, then gave multiple examples of what could have happened. So, now either your lying about going over my debates or your an amazingly high functioning illiterate.

yeah everyone's lying. the cop probably had a good reason to execute the guy. the police chief is probably lying, the video is probably fake. whatever you want to be true is probably true.

i'm not going to assert that it was nervous laughter, but lets not pretend that that's not an actual thing.

actually, yes it does... You might want to look at the law beforehand so as not to look foolish.
Nation wide- an officer may use any and all force up to and including deadly force if they FEEL threatened.

The court exists as for them to prove reasonable "feelings" your saying witnesses should be taken as facts when a similar case had multiple cases of fraudulent witnesses.

I'm wrong about everything except the first and last sentence... In a two sentence post but w/e sorry about the flaming. I said >IF< so if so, being tased can make your eyes water, your heart race, hell it could have just pissed him off and made him make a poor decision but in the witness tape you see what appears to be the taser on the ground after the shooting,(it appears the officer moved it to the body for what appears to be tampering reasons), and on the dash cam tape we hear the officer screaming "Taser, Taser, Taser" andthen scream like he was possibly tased

You're wrong about me seeing everything as black and white.

You're wrong about me being sheltered and being a millenial.

You're right that I have never been in a situation remotely close to what Scott went through.

Was he holding the taser at the time of being shot? No? Class dismissed.

This whole "let's wait for more evidence to come through" trip might be appropriate if there weren't already multiple examples of video evidence that stack up along with eyewitness testimony. It will take some damning evidence to overturn this. Conspiracy theory type shit.

I think you should follow your own advice.

I already covered this, but continue to ignore.

Ok everyone, please refrain from making posts that just attack someone and make no attempt to engage with the topic.

Ush coming in throwing the hammer down that's what we like to seeeeee.

If this dude doesn't get all kinds of punishment then the investment in body cameras at all is a waste. Same thing can be said of the Eric Garner event.

??? Is there a third video? The first video is missing most of the altercation & the Dash Cam doesn't show anything.

indeed. surely there must be some video out there with a new angle that shows him grow a third hand with a pistol out of his anus. until then, nobody is allowed to discuss this!!! should i request a thread closure until then?
