Why was the perp fleeing? He should not have paid with his life but most innocent people dont run from the police.

Like clockwork.

50 year old man with NO criminal record.

Maybe the cop said he was going to kill him?

Would you just stand there?

The "why" makes no difference, the cop lied on his report, said he feared for his life, standard comment.

He also tossed his taser down beside the victim.

The video shows he lied and committed a murder.

And you question the victim's actions?

Since when was running away a capital offense and who made the cops judge, jury, executioner???

The "perp" was pulled over for a license violation.

Then he was executed.

Why was the perp fleeing? He should not have paid with his life but most innocent people dont run from the police.

What's your point? The article says items fell from his hands. He probably had drugs. Maybe just a couple joints. So what!!! The man was murdered in cold blood. Have you got a point goober?

Because I do. That cop should get life without parole. He should be stuck in gen pop and left to rot.

Why was the perp fleeing? He should not have paid with his life but most innocent people dont run from the police.

Unless he felt his life was in danger. It certainly looks like it was, and the results can't be disputed. Only the killer is left to speak...kind of like George Zimmerman. It's a good thing that someone was filming this time. Too bad there wasn't anyone filming the killing of TM.

Shooting him in the back from a distance like that? That cannot be standard procedure. The officer's life was not in danger at that time, the guy is running from him not at him.

Much more information is needed to form any objective opinion.

1.) The interaction between the police officer and the suspect is unknown
2.) The video source is anonymous
3.) Why did the suspect run away from the police officer?
4.) The suspect tried to grab the police officers stun gun
5.) There was a warrant for the arrest of the suspect
6.) The suspect had a history of violence
7.) The local newspaper article does not state the high black crime rate in North Charleston
8.) The local newspaper article does note the racial problems in the community and quotes the NAACP, well known for their hatred of the police.
9.) The local newspaper article mentions the Ferguson incident but not the fact that Officer Wilson was found to have done nothing wrong.

Anytime Al Sharpton’s National Action Network is involved everything is suspect.

Wott did I tell you???

Thanks for making my original point.

You are a disgrace.

Ron your really are a dumb fuck.

I did not take any position, I simply pointed out the many unanswered questions involved.

You on the other hand immediately labeled the Police Office as an asshole.

You are the asshole.

Killed for a supposed broken tail light and you defend the cop.

You are a disgusting POS and you prove it with every post.

please do not respond to Muleman's posts on this particular topic. This is too serious to give him any publicity. Save it for Obama-bashing....not about a man being murdered as he's running away.

How do you know he was killed for a broken tail light?
Did you get that from your pal Al Sharpton?

I did not defend the cop.
Try reading my actual post dumbass.

The depths of some people's "my way or fuc% you" ideology amazes me at times.

How can anyone watch a man being shot in the back numerous times and killed for a broken (supposed) tail light and still blame the victim for his death????

"Hands up, don't shoot"

More like "I'm running away, shoot me in the back like a chicken sh!t coward".

NONE of your "concerns" in the questions you posed have any bearing on a man being executed.

Ron, the video is very sad and disturbing indeed. The only good thing to come out of this is to shine more light on a very scary truth in our country.....that there are too many bad seeds in our police force. I don't know if it's poor recruiting or poor training, but hopefully a conviction will send a clear message to those bad seeds that the game is up. When I watch that video, I see a cop that became infuriated that some "low life black man" tried to show him up. And he will be damned if he ever lets a low-life black man pull one over on him, so he showed him alright, with what....8 shots to his back? That cop sure showed him who's boss. Have fun in G-pop for the rest of your life scumbag.

It just makes you wonder how many times this has happened in recent history, since the civil rights movement. We know of 3 within the past year. All those poor people shot dead just for running away.

And let's address the position of "well he shouldn't have run away!" Unfortunately, I know for a fact that for every person that is sickened by these stories, there is someone who blames the victim because they ran. "Had they not run, or resisted arrest, then he'd still be alive today. Therefore it's their fault." If that's your stance, no problem. But if your 17-year old child is drinking/smoking pot at a party that gets raided, I don't want to hear you cry when a cop puts 6 bullets in your child's back.

I want you to actually picture your child.....running away from a house party......and a cop taking aim and firing 6 shots in their back. Your child is dead on the spot. Now imagine someone telling you that it was your child's fault.

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot" never happened.

The warrant was for back child support.

Kill him.

Where are all the protesters this time? I guess protesting is for when facts, evidence, and reality just won't get a conviction.

There's nothing to protest. He was charged with murder and will hopefully be convicted.

There wasn't anything to protest last time either, apparently.

I would think this is the time to assemble nationwide protests against police brutality, racism, etc. You know, with a real current event to back it up. Not the vapor that was Ferguson.

The lasting effect of the Ferguson protests were minified because they were based on a ruse.

Were you there to see what happened? I'm not saying he should've been charged since there wasn't any concrete evidence, but it's foolish to assume that either of us know what actually happened. There were many conflicting eye witness reports. A lack of evidence doesn't disprove the other side. There's a difference between being unable to prove, and to disprove a claim.

Given all that has emerged about the situation in Ferguson as far as racial tensions between the population and law enforcement, it appears that town was a smoldering bomb that merely needed a fuse. People can only be pushed so far. When it gets to that point, the exact details of whatever sets it off no longer matter.

It's especially foolish to take a side that has no evidence to support it. Millions did. It was a ruse as far as facts, evidence, and reality are concerned.

Yet they are still protesting even today.

As they should. As Bhawk mentioned, have you seen the mountain of evidence and disgusting emails that have been revealed from that department? Do you blame the residents for feeling that "enough is enough". And go back and read my post, I didn't take any side - in fact, I say "i'm not saying he should be charged since there was no concrete evidence". But to dismiss one side entirely and call it a ruse is just ignorant, especially after all the evidence of blatant racism from that department.

People can only be pushed so far, and then they fight back by giving false witness statements in order to incite a national anti-establishment, anti-cop protest that led to riots, violence, vandalism, police executions -- let me know if I'm embellishing at all here -- and the ruined career/life of an innocent man who chose to serve that community?

But racist emails so it's justified and facts don't matter.

The situation in that community had (and has) a lot more to do with racist emails, but I'm not going to change your mind nor am I going to try. We see what we want to see.

Where is this same accountability from the police department that made false arrests, false stops, and incite an anti-black establishment in their town that led to an unarmed thief being shot to death?

and the ruined career/life of an innocent man who chose to serve that community?

At least he is alive.

I took no position on this matter on way or the other. I simply listed some of the many unknowns and suggested that there is much more information needed to make a judgment.

Pops, based solely on a partial video instantly labeled the police officer an asshole.

One would think after Ferguson people would know better to make snap judgments based only on hear-say anecdotal rumors and in this case some video of only the end of a police/criminal encounter.

Property gets burgled or burned and people get injured or killed that way.

In this case the race hustlers and liberal media is driving the story just as it started in Ferguson and the outcome there was rioting, looting, arson and injury based on lies.

Hands Up, Don’t Shoot never happened and Officer Wilson was cleared of any wrongdoing by Holder’s Justice Department who were there with the lone purpose of prosecuting Officer Wilson and charging someone, anyone with civil rights violations.
Again, it didn’t happen.

There are those in the various “we hate white police officers” groups, democrat politicians and liberal media who will again go running to the TV cameras. This is how they push their social agenda and make money.

Guess I'm ignorant then. I'm not muleman, don't think you can talk to me like that and expect any more of my time.

Sensitive much? Sheesh.

If you can't disagree without classifying a dissenting opinion as "ignorant" or "foolish", then I have no need to talk to you. And you have no business calling anyone else a troll. Learn to argue without getting frustrated.

LOL!!! I am not worried one bit about anyone thinking I'm a troll on this site. But your point is taken. From now on I will refrain from calling opinions "ignorant" or "foolish", so long as the poster refrains from making inflammatory comments.

Yes, and I explained it earlier. I think it's wrong to call Ferguson a ruse considering the mountain of evidence that the police department was very racist. If there's no concrete evidence, the cop shouldn't be charged, but the black residents of that town have every right to be outraged by the long-running discrimination in that town. Rioting is never the right response, but the police department should shoulder and accept just as much blame as anyone else for their horrible behavior leading up to the incident.
