Correction. Apparently no one who videoed the event told the police that they had video of it. Nowadays EVERYTHING is on video.Vol Texan wrote:Only when the officer is clearly at fault. Apparently no cameras recorded anything in Ferguson (where all the evidence presented told the story that the shooting was fully justified - but a video might have clearly disproven a lot of the lies we've heard about 'hands up, don't shoot').K5GU wrote:It never ceases to amaze me how there's almost always someone nearby to record a video of these incidents.

Re: South Carolina Officer Is Charged With Murder of Walter
I would say it's fortunate. The guy who took the video was interviewed on NBC tonight. He was walking to work when he witnessed a confrontation between Scott and the police, and so he began shooting the video.powerboatr wrote:i could see the taser cables... isn't odd to the camera person just happened to be THERE?
In the video, the officer walks back to where he shot from, picks something up, then walks back to the body and drops it. Also, in the police report he wrote that they gave CPR to Scott. It's clear that never happened. This looks very bad for the officer, and I'm not surprised that he has been charged with murder. The video will make his defense very tough.
