    316 people have been killed by cops since Jan. 1, 2015 in the USA, for whatever reason. That is 3.2 per day.

    Yes, that's why I said "316 people killed by cops, for whatever reason".

    Just clarifying for those that never read the source. I found it odd that it included even "off duty" killings. Not sure if that means not in the line of duty or just "off duty". Seems there would be a difference.

    But I thought your point dwells on blacks alone.

    No....a black man is dead because a white racist bushwacker took unfair advantage of the situation.

    Rev Mitchell - haven't you heard - Judge Zaac has ruled the cop is a convicted murderer. And he based his decision on al the facts and evidence.

    Now, if you were a LEO.....

    That's not what the video says or shows.

    The video that actually shows something, shows Officer Slager to be a manipulator of a crime scene and a liar. It would be rather difficult at this point for anyone who is shown that video during court proceedings to trust anything he has to say.

    Good luck to his attorneys in finding people who haven't seen the video or heard about it.

    He IS a murderer as billions have seen. And he should be convicted as such.

    Nice attempt. But it should be murder and that's what he's been charged with. I don't think they've decided a degree yet. But if they've got any sense, the DAs will not agree with a manslaughter charge.

    They are sitting on a powder keg and they know it.

    Other officers, including his Police Chief, across the nation have even spoken against him, which is rare in itself.

    Now I understand - a conviction should be based on a power keg - not on facts

    The FACTS show a cop shooting a fleeing man in the back. The conviction should be based upon that.

    So no conviction, expect the powder keg to explode.

    Based ONLY on what I've seen (and I'm not claiming that's all there was to the incident), I think a murder 2 charge would be appropriate. Murder 1 would probably require the prosecution to establish that the LEO made the stop with an intent to kill the driver. Looks more like the unjustified (IMO) use of deadly force was an on-the-fly decision.

    I agree. And after the video I heard this morning where the officer is being told what to expect next and him laughing,

    It's rather disturbing because they are calmly discussing this and the next steps as though this happens or has happened quite a bit.

    If he had not run, he would be alive now. Does anyone know why he did?

    I have seen no proof the officer involved is a racist. Do you have something I haven't seen that justifies this charge?
