Is this the same feckwad that video caught dropping his taser by the vic as he lay dying? It’s hard to keep these murdering cops straight.

We’ve all heard that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I just want to know ex-officer was it worth it?

What disturbs me is that without the video, this crime would have been undetected. Since most such interactions are not videotaped, especially those in which the only two present are the police officer and the alleged criminal, how often are the police able to get away with murder? And to what extent have they been emboldened by this fact?

Wonder if the Feds can revoke his bond and put him back in the slammer until his trials begin.

To me, this is the best news of the day and with all these crazy polls, I suspect it will be the best news of the day.

The Teflon coating is coming off. More and more rotten eggs are sticking.

Bullies with firearms is never a good idea.

The Post and Courier described the new civil rights charges as a “backstop” for if the murder case against Slager were to fail. The charges in the state and federal indictments are different and would not qualify as double jeopardy. The maximum sentence for the federal charges would be life in prison, according to the newspaper.

It’s not double jeopardy anyway. The state can charge you with a particular crime and so can the federal government at the same time. They just don’t usually because it’s a waste of resources.

Yes, it is.

How much was his bail? He is out on bond on a murder charge. Seems strange.
