Editor's note: This video contains graphic content. A police officer in
North Charleston, S.C., has been charged with murder after shooting a man
during a traffic stop. Authorities said the decision to charge officer
Michael Slager was made after they viewed video footage of the incident
that showed him shooting the other man in the back as he was fleeing the
scene. (Obtained by The Washington Post)
.
Life was looking up for Walter Scott. The 50-year-old father of four, who
had gotten a job with a trucking supply company about nine months ago, had
just proposed to his girlfriend and bought a car. On Saturday morning, he
set out in his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz, an older model, for an auto
parts store in North Charleston, S.C. But whatever new beginning Scott had
in mind for himself or his family would never materialize.
.
At about 9:30 a.m., North Charleston police officer Michael Slager pulled
Scott over near the auto store for allegedly driving with a broken tail
light. Within minutes, a routine traffic stop had escalated into a
pursuit. Chasing on foot down Craig Street, Slager called into his radio.
Black male, green shirt, blue pants.
.
Scott had a family court warrant out for his arrest. He owed back child
support, the familys lawyer, Chris Stewart told The Washington Post. That
may have been on his mind, his brother Anthony Scott told the New York
Times. And so he allegedly fled and was killed by an officer that morning.
.
How that happened is the subject of two different stories. The first was
given out by police in the hours immediately after the event. The second
was in a video made public Tuesday night.
.
Together they make a third story, about the gap between what police
originally said and what the world has now seen in the video. Its what
makes the events in North Charleston so different from the chokehold death
of Eric Garner in New York, and the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown
in Ferguson, Mo. And its got people wondering, does it take a video? And
what if there is no video?
.
The video is so shocking, said Victoria Middleton, executive director for
the ACLU of South Carolina. I think one of the concerns that immediately
comes to mind is the discrepancy between the initial story, the kind of
rush to judgment, the rush to say that procedures were followed and this
was justified, and then when the video surfaced that quickly unraveled.
