Colombia, October 10 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of South Carolina, the family of unarmed African American Walter Scott, who was shot in the back by white police officer Michael Slager in April, has settled with the city of North Charleston for $6.5 million. Officer Slager was charged with murder after video showed he shot Scott in the back as Scott ran away. The white police officer remains in jail after he was denied bail by Circuit Judge Clifton Newman, who concluded releasing him would "constitute an unreasonable danger to the community."
