The Death of Walter Scott:

Walter Scott was an unarmed black motorist in North Charleston, South Carolina. A white police officer, Michael T. Slager, stopped Mr. Scott for a broken taillight. After the traffic stop, Mr. Scott got out of his car and fled on foot.

Mr. Scott was running away from Officer Slager after the two struggled over the officer's taser. Mr. Scott broke away and ran, unarmed, away from Officer Slager. Officer Slager shot at Mr. Scott's back eight times.

Officer Slager could be seen dropping his taser beside Mr. Scott's body in an alleged attempt to plant evidence. Officer Slager is currently serving 20 years in prison on charges of murder.
