South Carolina officer dismissed after shooting man in back

[Prince Bálor]

A white South Carolina police officer has been fired after being charged with murder for shooting a black man in the back as he fled, but questions remained on Wednesday about some details of the killing that was filmed by a witness.

The shooting occurred on Saturday in North Charleston, a town of about 100,000 people, nearly half of whom are black, but it gained national media attention on Tuesday when the video became public.

The shooting was the latest in a series of deaths during police encounters in the United States that have led protesters to decry racism and police brutality.

North Charleston Police Chief Eddie Driggers said at a news conference that he did not know whether officers performed CPR on the victim, 50-year-old Walter Scott, who ran away after being stopped by police for a broken brake light on his vehicle.

Gotta love how he cuffed him for good measure after unloading his clip into his back. What a fucking piece of shit. And he had been pulled over for a broken taillight? Jesus Christ...

At least this scumbag actually got charged with murder. Holding the police accountable for their actions, what a novel concept.

Yeah this shit is crazy. Anyone seen how the video shows the cop going back to pick up the taser the guy supposedly tried to take from the cop and then bring it back and toss it on the ground next to the guys cuffed and bleeding body? Holy shit no wonder people are rioting against the cops.
