S.C. Cop Faced Excessive-Force Charge

Michael Slager, the white officer who killed an unarmed black man in South Carolina last weekend, faced a complaint for use of excessive force two years ago. In the 2013 confrontation—also with an unarmed black man—Slager allegedly barged into the home of Mario Givens after waking him up and threatened to tase him if Givens refused him entry. “I didn’t want that to happen to me, so I raised my arms over my head, and when I did, he tased me in my stomach anyway,” Givens, now 33, told the AP. A spokesperson for the  North Charleston Police Department said it will review the decision not to charge Slager in that case, during which the officer was looking for Givens’s brother Matthew, who was more than half a foot shorter than the man who was tased.

For the dozens of protesters who descended on the working-class South Carolina city of North Charleston on Wednesday, a bystander's video of a white police officer gunning down Walter Scott was long-awaited confirmation of what many residents have been saying for years. Activists said the footage, showing Officer Michael Slager shooting 50-year-old Walter Scott in the back, is chilling evidence of what they portray as "an atmosphere of racism" that allows African-Americans to be targeted in North Charleston and across the state.]http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/cheats/2015/04/09/s-c-cop-faced-excessive-force-charge/jcr:content/image.crop.800.500.jpg/1428588777546.cached.jpg[/img]

The man shot to death by police officer Michael Slager in South Carolina on Saturday was not wanted for overdue child support, as initial reports suggested. Walter Scott did have a large outstanding child-support balance—$7,500—and it’s not clear whether he knew that no bench warrant had been issued for him. He had already been jailed three times for missed payments, and his last payment was made in July 2012.
