Evidence that walter scott(suspect) disarmed the officer of his taser has been found after analysis and stabilization of the video. The evidence is covered in the "Frame 394" mini documentary by CBC television.
To summarize, this evidence shows walter disarmed, then tossed the taser behind the officer hoping (plausibly) he would get a head start running away while the officer collected his side arm. Sadly, the officers line of sight was above the toss, leading him to (again possibly) believe walter Scott still possessed the taser.
This article should have a counter evidence or criticism subsection to complete the article. Dartman1313 ( talk) 20:59, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Side note, The same analysis showed the "planted" taser was picked back up 30 seconds later.
With this video evidence, "resisting arrest" is the perfect description of the incident.
The article is woefully written in a condemning and biased form, omitting widely circulated counter evidence. Dartman1313 ( talk) 20:10, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
biased form" and omissions you mentioned, you are free to discuss them here if you want to improve the article. Additionally, given that your two edits contain largely the same information in different sections that are nearly and over a year old respectively, it may be better to refactor and consolidate these posts under a new section at the bottom of the page. — Nøkkenbuer ( talk • contribs) 22:36, 17 August 2018 (UTC); last sentence added at 22:48, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
On the page it CLEARLY states "U.S. District Judge David C. Norton sentenced Slager to 20 years in prison.[72] Although defense attorneys had argued for voluntary manslaughter, the judge agreed with prosecutors that the "appropriate underlying offense" was second-degree murder." We will NOT minimize what Slager did to a Walter Scott or allow it to me white washed.
Please and thank you! Be part of the solution not the problem 2601:142:0:BA40:63C8:7AE6:55F4:DCE0 ( talk) 18:39, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
