TYT: What Does Michael Slager Dashcam Video Reveal?



Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) Ben Mankiewicz (https://twitter.com/benmank77) hosts of The Young Turks and guest Kaj Larsen (https://twitter.com/kajlarsen) of Vice News discuss the newly released dashcam video from Michael Slager's patrol car of the traffic stop with Walter Scott and what that may mean for his murder case.

"The video from Michael Slager's patrol car of his traffic stop of Walter Scott has been released and some are saying that this proves that Slager is not guilty of murder. Fox News' Geraldo Rivera told Fox & Friends that the video clearly shows that Slager is doing everything professionally and by the book when Scott starts running from the scene. Rivera still clarified that a manslaughter charge would probably still stick, as there is no denying that Slager still shot Scott in the back as he ran from the scene.

A video of the slaying of Walter Scott by Michael Slager went viral and sparked outrage across the internet when the video revealed the possibility that Slager had planted evidence to avoid a murder charge."

stand still and get killed, run and get killed. Slager killed a man in cold blood - he is guilty of murder.

Yes, criminals are criminals and not welcomed in polite society - but should we kill them because of it........ NO!

Geraldo... you have done a far more offensive act than that when you unleashed your manscaping pic to the world in a tweet and no one would have called your murder justified had it occurred.
