Discussion for article #231735
There aren’t a lot of positive things that you can say about South Carolina, but it’s looking like a model state for prosecuting and disciplining cops for shooting unarmed black men. I hope Strom Thurmond is rolling over in his grave.
For South Carolina I would expect the headlines to be more like:
Allegedly Unarmed Black Man Shot Dead, “Damndest suicide I’ve ever seen” said respected police chief.
Hold your horses, this thug hasn’t been convicted…it’s still South Carolina
Considering that the simple act of indicting a police officer is something that other states can’t manage, I’d say that this is a substantial improvement.
The chief allegedly had a warrant for the arrest of this man after a five minute argument? Was he hastily scribbling the warrant out as the guy was leaving and once finished, the guy then becomes a “fugitive”? The business with the warrant is VERY suspicious to say the least.
