Officer Charged with Murder

Officer Michael Slager was charged with the murder of 50 year old Walter Scott after shooting him various times in the back. Apparently, scott had a weapon and so Michael took “appropriate” actions and pulled his gun out. I think that other things could’ve been better. Meaning instead of Michael pulling out his gun he could’ve pulled out his taser. He also could’ve identified the so called “weapon” before taking any drastic measures. This now a days is why people do not trust the police, they over use their power.
