Bottom line: why was a traffic stop worthy of a back shooting cop executing a man RUNNING AWAY? This cop put five bullets in the man's back! Five times, five bullets? The poor man is clearly afraid, AND UNARMED, as he RUNS AWAY! What more evidence do we need?! A picture, they say, is worth a thousand words!

"Even the damning video of a cop killing Walter Scott doesn’t guarantee justice will be served"
A witness took this video, so it is unimpeachable! So why can't the people in the jury see that this cop murdered the man. Being scared does not justify murder, EVEN IF YOU ARE A COP!
Even as a cop there are consequences for shooting people, aren't there? If not, why not!?
VP Mike Pence (elect) wants the incoming Attorney General (tbd) (what?!) to decide if the federal prosecutor can retry the coward Slager, who shot a man RUNNING AWAY.
That murder by a scared cop led to a Trial that somehow was a mistrial! Actually that "somehow" is an obviously unethical and dishonest cop on the JURY!
How a cowardly back-shooter gets a mistrial in a civil rights case boggles the mind. How did a cop get on the jury? That cop basically upset the jury with the BLUE wall, loyalty of all cops to all cops, in this case, loyalty to a murdering coward!
The cop on the jury could not say shooting a man RUNNING await five times in the back is a murder! My eyes tell me it is murder, fool!
The cop on the jury even wrote a letter to the judge professing (maybe better said as "confessing") that he could not convict his brother cop.
I hope Mike Pence can see that shooting anyone, not just a black man, RUNNING away, FIVE times, IN THE BACK, is at best cowardly, and likely intentional MURDER. Being scared is NOT a defense for murder by police!
This is AT LEA$T manslaughter and deserves jail time - dollar sign intentional!
The worst of the bad scenarios is that the federal prosecutor stacked the deck for a mistrial by allowing a cop, albeit probably retired, on the jury! Conspiracy against the dead black man? Ugly to the max. Did the prosecutor do his job, or did he help the mistrial!?
I hope VP-elect Mike Pence is on the side of JUSTICE in a cowardly cop shooting a filmed-for-your-eyes!
Be aware. Beware!
