So, this is all over the news.
North Charleston Police officer charged with murder for shooting a suspect as the suspect ran away. The video is short, and there is no way to know what went on before the video started.
I am normally totally pro cop. I spend a lot of time explaing use of force to folks. But this? This looks reeeealy bad. Unless there is some serious info being left out, this cop is done. Murder? Doubtful. Voluntary manslaughter and deprivation of civil rights? Probably.
It is hard enough for officers these days. This is not going to help us in the media.
Thoughts?
