When a white South Carolina police officer shoots a black man named Walter Scott five times, things were a little suspicious. Officer Michael Slager was recently charged with murder for his actions. The murder of Walter Scott has been under scrutiny for several days now because it is unclear on exactly why he was shot. Apparently the officer claimed that Walter took took his taser, but from video evidence it appears that the officer just dropped the taser. I think that the officer is rightfully charged with murder because the actions of Walter Scott do not deserve the use of a gun. Especially that he used excessive force, and now that there is video evidence showing that Walter did not take the taser. Although things are still under investigation, I do think it is a good idea for him to be put on trial for justice to be served because there have been so many cases of police officers getting away with murder in the past.
