[In the Presence of Color Racists cannot see things as they really are - even in slow motion] What Did the White Jury See when they Saw Video of White Cop Shooting Walter Scott Over & Over in the Back as he Fled?

'It Would Be Better If They Had No Eyes. Then There Would Be No Possibility of Misunderstanding[at least they would know they can't see'] From [HERE] and [HERE] The shooting of Walter Scott, occurred on April 4, 2015, in North Charleston, South Carolina, following a daytime traffic stop for a non-functioning brake light. Scott, a black man, was fatally shot by Michael Slager, a white North Charleston police officer. Slager was charged with murder after a video surfaced contradicting his police report.

The case is now being heard by a jury of 11 white jurors and one token black [why would the prosecutor allow a nearly all white jury to be emapaneled? Think Michael Brown/Eric Garner prosecutions. Prosecutor is white, Slager is white, Police Chief Driggers is white, judge is black but in a jury trial the jury decides all the factual issues [he is there for show or the appearance of justice]. . . Don't hold your breath in a system of white supremacy].  

A Black man riding with a Black motorist who was fatally shot by a white police officer while running away from a traffic stop testified Thursday that he doesn’t know why his friend tried to flee.

“That’s a question I would like to ask him. Unfortunately, I can’t. He was murdered,” said Pierre Fulton, who worked with Walter Scott at a distribution warehouse and was riding in the front passenger seat when Michael Slager, a North Charleston police officer, pulled them over for a broken taillight.

A bystander’s cellphone recording of Scott’s death stunned the nation as the images spread on social media. Slager, who is white, faces 30 years to life if convicted of murder in the shooting of Scott, who was black. He also faces separate federal charges including violations of Scott’s civil rights.

Fulton said Scott surrendered his driver’s license and stepped out of the car. Slager then ordered Scott to get back in again, and he complied. Then, as the officer was checking the information, Scott bolted.

“The next thing you know, he was out the door,” Fulton said.

The gunshots rang out a short time later, he said.

While sitting in the car, Scott called his mother on his cellphone.

“He didn’t sound very good. He sounded in distress,” Jury Scott, 73, told the jury as she fought back tears.

“He said, ‘They were tasing me.’ I heard him groaning like he was in excruciating pain several times,” she said. “I told him, ‘You know North Charleston policemen, so just do whatever they say.’”

Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said Slager fired eight times after failing to subdue Scott with a stun gun; five of the shots hit Scott in the back and buttocks.

Wilson told the jury of 11 whites and one black in her opening statement that even if Scott wrestled with Slager over the stun gun, that provocation did not justify being shot to death.

“If Walter Scott had not resisted arrest, he wouldn’t have been shot. He paid the extreme consequence for his conduct. He lost his life for his foolishness,” she acknowledged [sounds super aggressive and compelling] 

But she said Slager must be held accountable for “his decision to go too far — his decision to let his sense of authority get the better of him.”

On Friday the apt white jurors fixed their attention on the video: a cellphone recording of some of the fatal encounter. The video shows Mr. Slager firing eight rounds toward the back of Mr. Scott as he is running away from him. It was played in slow motion. 

As the jury of 11 white people and a black man watched State’s Exhibit No. 237, a female juror held her right hand to her lower lip. A male juror repeatedly swallowed. Mr. Slager watched the video on a screen near the defense table as the sound of gunfire boomed, shot after shot, through the courtroom.

“It was an injustice what I saw,” testified Feidin Santana, who recorded the video on his way to work on April 4, 2015.

Mr. Santana, the only witness to the shooting besides Mr. Slager, said he had been first drawn by the sight of Mr. Scott running. Moments later, Mr. Slager came into view.

Mr. Santana said he had heard the buzz of a Taser and watched Mr. Slager punch Mr. Scott’s side. Using his cellphone’s camera, Mr. Santana taped the men as they tussled.

Then Mr. Slager opened fire, and Mr. Scott fell to the ground. Mr. Santana testified that the officer handcuffed Mr. Scott, who was not moving.

“At any point, did you see Walter Scott coming at Officer Slager?” Ms. Wilson asked.

“That never happened,” Mr. Santana replied.

Mr. Slager, who was fired after the shooting, could be sentenced to life in prison if he is convicted of murderin state court, where his trial will resume on Monday. He has also been indicted on federal civil rights charges.

The video could resurface in the state trial, in which Judge Clifton B. Newman on Friday denied a defense request to block the footage from being played in slow motion. The recording is also expected to be crucial evidence in the federal case.[MORE]

An attorney for the Scott family, Chris Stewart, told reporters after the court adjourned following a full day of statements and testimony that the family is not concerned a nearly all-white jury is hearing the case. [sounds incompetent]

“All you need in this case is everything all juries have: two eyes and a brain. It doesn’t matter what color they are, because they have eyes that can see that videotape,” he said. [lol - eyes filled with thoughts!]
