Typical. It’s ALWAYS a “Broken tail light.” (funny, I dont’ see any “broken” tail lights in that video.)
What is REALLY is: “Ni(CLANG!) in a Mercedes!” “Git 'im!”

Sounds like the biggest crime in many states is driving with a faulty tail light, or failure to use a turn signal. If it wasn’t so sad, it would be funny, but it just gives cops a license to seek out and abuse citizens, usually of color, and also to increase the coffers of many towns by the crazy fines and fees added. It is legal highway robbery, and needs to be stopped.

This is a pattern you’d expect from someone who’s a sadist. Too bad someone had to die before it came to light.

If Sleger had been outed and disciplined in this case, he might never have had the opportunity to murder Walter Scott, at least not sporting a law enforcement shield.

Sadly, the only way to stop this is to bankrupt the bastards. Brother officers cover up and then perjury themselves. Prosecutors decline to even investigate, much less get a grand jury hearing. Town fathers commence by covering up and leaking personal details about the deceased designed to defame, diminish, and dehumanize them.

Even the Feds aren’t much help, most of the time.

I doubt that Sleger’s odious behavior is limited to these two people ncidents. Roll the tape, and take a good look how he jobs back to where the incident began, picks up what most people think was his dropped Taser, and dumps it casually, next to the corpse. It tells me he’s done this before.

He just never got caught on tape before.

Good thing they didn’t take exception to being tased and knock the taser out of his hand.

It doesn’t look like excessive use of force. He was resisting arrest. Under the circumstances, it looks like a nice, clean take down and handcuffing with minimal to no injury to everyone involved.

Wonder how many taillights are ‘broken’ before the Slager and co-assholes stop them…?

And Why does someone need to get out of a car for a ticket for a broken taillight?

Geraldo Rivera explained it for our benefit in the aftermath of Walter Scott’s killing. Clearly he’s under the influence of Law and Order.

“It started as a righteous traffic stop,” “acting very hinky” and “very edgy.”

So, there is hard evidence that Slager was trigger-happy, yes?
