South Carolina Grand Jury Indicts White Police Officer for Murder of Walter Scott
Charleston, June 10 (RHC)-- A grand jury in South Carolina has indicted former North Charleston police officer Michael Slager for murder for the shooting death of unarmed African-American Walter Scott. Slager had stopped Scott for a broken tail light when Scott fled on foot. Eyewitness video shows Slager shooting Scott in the back eight times as he runs away.
The indictment came as hundreds of people rallied in McKinney, Texas to protest a new video showing police officer Eric Casebolt wrestling an African-American teenage girl in a bikini to the ground, pulling her hair, and sitting on top of her. Casebolt also pulled his gun on other teens as they fled the area and was stopped from shooting by two fellow officers who immediately urged him to holster his weapon.
