That he somehow would be able to over power that man and hurt him wit his own weapon. That he would someone how run away, turn around and fire wit pin point accuracy at that man from 20 ft away. That that man had to fire 8 rounds at that man as he waddled/ran away slowly as you would expect a 50 year old to do.
if anything how is a man thats able to be in that much danger and fear for his life that much from a man 20 years his senior, visibly gimp..how is he even a cop. he cant even protect himself from a non threat...but.. C'est la vie

Wilson: Scott 'lost his life for his foolishness'
Opening statements started this morning in the Michael Slager murder trial.
Just before calling for the jury at 9:30 a.m., Judge Clifton Newman ruled that Slager could remain free on bond during the trial.
After swearing in the jury of 11 whites and one black man, Circuit Judge Clifton Newman took almost 15 minutes to explain their role to them.
Solicitor Scarlett Wilson started her opening statements about 9:45 a.m. and spoke for about 25 minutes, setting the scene on the April 4, 2015, encounter between Slager, then a North Charleston police officer, and Walter Scott, a motorist pulled over by Slager for a broken tail light.
"If Walter Scott had not resisted arrest, he wouldn't have been shot," she said. "He lost his life for his foolishness."
Slager used the "dry stun" setting on his Taser in an attempt to subdue Scott, who ran from the stop, Wilson said. A fight ensued, and Slager pulled out his .45-caliber pistol and fired eight times. Five shots hit Scott.
After the shooting, Slager's "first instinct wasn't to give CPR, it was to stage" the scene, moving the Taser closer to Scott's body.
"Michael Slager didn't know that somebody was watching him," Wilson said. "And he surely didn't know that that somebody was holding a cellphone.
The jury — six white men, five white women and one black man — was selected Wednesday along with six alternates: two white men, two white women and two black women.
On Wednesday, Newman brushed off a request to dismiss the state’s murder charge against Slager because the defendant also is being prosecuted on a civil rights charge in federal court. The judge said it wasn’t his place to overrule U.S. Supreme Court precedent allowing two sovereign governments to pursue a case against the same person without violating the Constitution’s prohibition on double jeopardy.
Newman also denied a bid Wednesday by defense lawyer Andy Savage to move the trial out of Charleston.
Slager, 34, faces between 30 years and life in prison if convicted of murder. He likely will stay free on bail through the trial.
The video footage of Scott’s death on April 4, 2015, showed the two struggling and Scott running away as the officer fired at him eight times. Slager said Scott had grabbed his Taser and will argue self-defense at the trial.
Though racial themes have persisted in the case since that day last year, Slager’s attorney has insisted that race never played a role in the confrontation. Community members, though, have repeated for years that black residents in North Charleston — 47 percent black — are most often targeted for the minor stops that police have used to ferret out serious criminals on the streets.

Yeah I saw her full crock of shit on YouTube.
Forget it.
She's waiting on Jesus on the inside for provide justice.
She can talk all she want about Jesus but it's just a coping mechanism to escape her powerless position in the matter of her son getting shot like a dog.
It has never been about morality, agreement, truth, or even logic.....it's about positioning for and looking for opportunities to take or exert power. But I guess if we put it in the hands of Jesus, it takes away the responsibility of empowering ourselves against power moves exerted by our "fellow man"
Here's the longer version (this is damn near a mental disorder)

they whipped us the whole week then pacified us with the religion they dont even hold dear.. that they bastardized and used to justify the confines of our bodies an souls.( Im not attacking religion at all .. but the blind devotion to hopes and aspirations of justice that are fleeting)
