If COPS don't want to be profiled as potential criminals, then they should stop committing crimes.
Don't be intentionally ridiculous. Scott was a demonstrable criminal. Slager hasn't even been tried yet. Let's wait until all the facts come out before we pass judgment.

I'm not so sure it is increased criminality so much as increased scrutiny and targeting by police. It has already been shown that more Blacks than Whites were pulled over by police for traffic stops. At least 23% more often than Whites.
The reason for them being pulled over is because they either are or are more likely to break the law.
He's fighting with the cop before he runs, and the cop is limping in the video. It looks like a bad shoot, but let's wait until more details come out before we call this murder.
Wrong. He jumped out of his car and ran. The cop was sitting in his cruiser when the guy ran. So yeah, we'll wait for the details.
Scott was running away and was a since he was a criminal he was a threat to the community. Could he have been apprehended without being killed? Perhaps, but ultimately it was his decision to run that caused his death.
What?
That means if a cop stops a jaywalker and the jaywalker runs, that makes him a criminal who is a threat to the community??? And since he's a threat, that means under the law he can be shot by the police???
He's a Yankee transplant South Carolina police officer. From New Jersey.
Yep. Few of us down here noticed that.
