What would be more interesting is what you think about. You don't say.
I would have thought my position would have been clear enough from reading the excerpts I chose to post. If that was too subtle for you, I will state unequivocally that I currently believe the cop deliberately killed a man in cold blood and he also appears to have believed he would get away with it.
It appears he deliberately tampered with evidence to make it seem as if Walter Scott tried to use the Taser on him. I think the Police department has done the right thing by firing him and urging murder charges against him.
I think it is a tragedy that Walter Scott has been killed and that his children will no longer have their father.
I think we shall probably hear shortly that this cop was a closet racist and that past incidents involving him may bear this out.
I think this and other incidents will bring closer a prediction I made back in 1992 that eventually all law enforcement officers will have "badge cams" that will dramatically improve adherence to the law by Police. I know from my own experience that many cops think they are above the law and have the right to treat other people like sh*t, and "badge cams" will go a long way towards disabusing them of that notion.
That's what I think.
