― Michael T. Slager, a white South Carolina police officer, claimed he feared for his life because an unarmed black man, Walter Scott, had taken his stun gun in a scuffle. However, a video taken by a bystander shows no physical altercation, but does show the officer firing eight times at Mr. Scott’s back as he was running away. The video also shows Slager planting his taser near Mr. Scott’s body after he was gunned down.
