I'm reading one of the first statements when the officer was still trying to spin that he felt threatened. Back up came after the shooting from what I can tell.
Bottom line is that there was an eyewitness who kept filming.
And Scott was 10 feet away running for his freaking life when he started firing from what I can tell from the stills but the officer still claimed that when he fired seven times as the man was running away from him that he felt "threatened".
Yet all shots were in his back. And he paused before he hit him with the eighth shot.
Here's another link for you Missourian.
Attorney North Charleston police officer felt threatened before fatal shooting - Post and Courier
For all you know, the dead guy could have said "I'm going get a gun and come back and kill you".
Nobody here is on any jury in this case.
I will never sympathize with any deadbeat dad running away after resisting arrest.
Tough shit.
When are fools going to learn you cannot outrun a bullet.
Another case of a long string of bad decisions costing a fool his life.
Yes, so much for prolife. Having more kids than you can pay for,
where you run from a cop to avoid getting jailed for back child support,
and it ends up getting you killed anyway. Where is the prolife support for
parents, kids and families where it's needed? Why is this whole system set up to fail?
It's called TANF...colloquially known as welfare.
The WIFE filed for support. Men can't force women to have abortions. They can use protection. If they don't, they have an obligation to support the children they father.
Nobody, male or female, "has to have sex" when they can't afford children should pregnancy occur.
Since both Carson and Obama actually AGREE on microlending as more sensible support to help people,
how soon can we see welfare replaced with programs that require recipients to pay back through a business plan, similar to the training that comes with microloan programs. That way, people can receive counseling with their FIRST child they can't afford, and require educational and financial planning before having any more kids.
Would you mind posting a link to the fundamentals of the microlending proposal? I am not acquainted with the concept as it pertains to welfare and family planning.
Hi
Missourian
The general concepts of successful programs that have also won awards
are to microlend in increments, and require a business plan for paying back the first loan
before moving up to higher amounts to grow the business.
It's not DIRECTLY applied to "family planning" but indirectly, if people are receiving structured Mentorship help to plan financially on a stable sustainable basis, then that would also include what they are doing in their personal life and finances, with transportation, utilities, living expenses etc.
Grameen America
Grameen Foundation Connecting the World s Poor to Their Potential
Grameen Foundation is the most well known program,
where the founder Muhammad Yunus won the Nobel Prize in 2006
for his work to rebuild poverty stricken regions of Bangledesh by
investing in the heads of households and businesses, mostly women.
Another MODEL I recommend for building schools, daycare community centers and jobs in poor areas
is PACE Universal run by Deepa Willingham:
PACE Universal - Teach a girl feed a village
Again, this isn't DIRECTLY trying to spell out or "micromanage" social engineering and how to run families.
But the organization and planning it takes to build businesses and schools in areas "indirectly" enforces values of paying for the current needs and planning ahead for the true costs of educating and caring for children, families and communities.
Those issues would automatically HAVE to be addressed in the process of setting up sustainable financial plans for families to take charge of their own economy and communities.
Here is another key model I recommend for community building and business planning:
