The race hustlers won't ever allow for common sense to rule the day. If he didn't report having "adrenaline pumping" they would accuse of being literally a "cold blooded killer". Oh wait, they have already done that. No matter what he says that really happened, the Slager haters will twist and distort it into something that in their shallow minds somehow "proves his guilt".

Hey, pal....No twisting, distorting Needed to ''prove Sla(y)ger's guilt''.......On Camera factual video proves to the weakest, shallow mind, Slager Cold-Blooded Murdered Walter Scott.

And further, video shows Slager planting (dropping) Stun gun next to Scott's body, to distort the truth....that Slager was CYA'ing....he thought.

FLEEING FELON RULE
>>><<<
Fleeing felon rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At Common law, the Fleeing Felon Rule permits the use of force, including deadly force, against an individual who is suspected of a felony and is in clear flight. Force may be used by the victim, bystanders, or police officers.

MODIFIED BY :
"A police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting him dead...however...Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force."
—Justice Byron White, Tennessee v. Garner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_v._Garner
(This was a civil case. The officer was not charged with murder.)
. . . After Hymon ordered Garner to halt, Garner began to climb the fence. Believing that Garner would certainly flee if he made it over the fence, Hymon shot him. The bullet struck Garner in the back of the head, and he died shortly after an ambulance took him to a nearby hospital. Ten dollars and a purse taken from the burglarized house were found on his person.
. . .
[Justice] White examined the common law rule on this matter and its rationale. At common law, it was perfectly legitimate for law enforcement personnel to kill a fleeing felon. AT THE TIME WHEN THIS RULE WAS FIRST CREATED, MOST FELONIES WERE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, and the difference between felonies and misdemeanors was relatively large. In modern American law, neither of these circumstances existed.

(Due, in part, to national socialism and the eradication of private property rights - which were defensible with deadly force.)
. . .
Dissenting opinion - - -
In her dissent, Justice O'Connor highlighted the fact that police officers must often make swift, spur-of-the-moment decisions while on patrol, and argued that the majority did not properly consider this aspect of the case. Moreover, burglary is a serious crime which often leads to rape and murder, and the Tennessee statute represents the state legislature's judgment that such crimes may require the use of deadly force in order to protect the public against those who commit such crimes. She also disagreed that a suspect's interest in his own life necessarily extends to the right to flee from the scene of a crime. The suspect believed he was in imminent danger and therefore fled the scene.

If it is not captured on video, the Cop's word is always golden.

And when the Cop has his blue-buddies lying on his behalf, game over!!!!

Both as facts, regardless of which one you concentrate on. And the abuse of power happened because of race, your argument is to treat the symptom and ignore the disease, and that will never solve the problem.

As for "all lives matter" that does include black lives, so you go on being all offended over that, I don't really care what you think.
If all lives were treated equally, you would have a point, but they dont. This isnt about being offended, its about the realities of the argument you are making and they just dont match up to your philosophy.
