This video is part of the same video that was turned in to the police because the person who took the video said he couldn't allow the police to get away with murder. But the first part of the video is not what most "news" outlets show to the public.

Michael Slager was sentenced to twenty years in prison. All anyone ever hears is that he shot an unarmed black man in the back as he was running away. But it was a matter of one to two seconds from the time he was on the ground fighting for his life with the suspect, and the time he began firing. He will have plenty of time to think about any alternative actions he might have taken.

Walter Scott's family was awarded $6.5 million settlement with the city of North Charleston, S.C.

Apparently, a jury heard, saw, and considered all of the evidence presented by both the prosecution and defense attorneys before awarding Walter Scott's family a $6.5 million settlement with the city of North Charleston, South Carolina. What did the jurors have to say in explanation for their verdict? And, I believe that it was the trial judge who sentenced Officer Michael Slager to twenty years in prison.
