Walter Scott: Protesters Demand Justice -
and an End to Police Discrimination
Demonstrators gather outside city hall in North Charleston, and fear
relations between police and residents will nosedive in the wake of Scotts
death
For nearly two hours, people stood in front of a podium and talked about
their experiences being discriminated against in North Charleston.

Tyeesha Aiken, a mother of two young boys, was alone in a crowd of
demonstrators on Wednesday morning, just outside North Charleston city
hall there as part of a rally to demand justice for Walter Scott, the
50-year-old black man fatally shot in the back by a white police officer.

Raising two boys here, Im afraid of sending them to school, because the
police are not there to protect and serve, said Aiken, who said she had
just completed a degree in criminal justice, but was now rethinking her
career because she did not trust law enforcement.
.
All cops are not bad, but corruption has taken over, she said.
.
To most of the Wednesdays crowd, the media was also culpable. Early
reports of the shooting depicted a respectable police officer taking down
a criminal. But the video released on Tuesday caused a dramatic shift in
the narrative.
.
I dont think the man would have been charged if that video hadnt surfaced,
said William, a 17-year-old who did not give his full name and who spoke
at the demonstration, where few chants garnered as much fervor as those
against the media: Lies! Lies! Lies!

Leonard Riley, a 62-year-old longshoremen, knew Scott from church and
spoke to Scotts parents after the shooting. Riley said that Scotts
mother-in-law was weeping uncontrollably at the scene of the shooting, a
testament to how well Scott took care of her daughter and grandchildren.
.
He was a good guy. He was no street guy. He was no criminal, said Riley.
Thats what you should know he was a decent human being.

And black men were twice as likely to be stopped by North Charleston
police as white men, according to a 2010 investigation by the local Post
and Courier. Police at the time defended the practice as part of a
zero-tolerance strategy to reduce crime in predominantly black
neighbourhoods.
.
snip
.
Now, however, relations will likely plummet. I think more caution and care
wouldve been taken if that was an animal than the way the officer shot
that guy, said Scott.
.
Scott said she was pleased that Slager was charged, but believed police
discrimination needed to be addressed. We see police officers saying they
fear for their lives, but black men need to be fleeing from officers
because you never know when you get these kinds of officers, Scott said.
