http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/2...harge-after-shooting-unarmed-man-during/Pretty sure he will come clear on this. Almost wonder if it wasn't according to plan as calm as he was. If they can exonerate him, it will be a great victory for police since they would then be able to shoot people who do exactly what they say with no consequence just as easily as they currently do those who go against their wishes.

No way they will convict him. As pointed out on officer.com, the perp got what he had coming. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a cop hater so jurors don't want to get saddled with that stigma.

Damn!! They get plumb serious about not wearing your seat belt in South Carolina.
Do they have helmet laws there?

So, if your kids are not in a child seat, who does the cop shoot, the parents, or the kids?

Not one comment about firing four shots - missing three and barely scoring a hit with one?

WHY did the guy dive back into the vehicle?
(I'm "hard of hearing" - so couldn't make out the audio)
Depending, I MAY have opened fire, too - as it almost seemed on the video - the guy may have been going for a weapon.
When "Stuff" happens that fast - reaction and training take over.

Why not. Good Lord, if this is the offending trooper I'm betting the guy didn't mind getting shot that much...

He didn't 'dive' into the car. It looked like he just reached in to get his wallet off the seat or something. The cop shot first at his back without seeing what was in his hands. There's no way that it was justified.
Has the guy died? The Foxnews headline said he did but the text said he didn't. Of course headline writers aren't obligated to read before they write.

He didn't 'dive' into the car. He moved way too fast for the situation It looked to me like he could have been lunging for a weapon They BOTH overreacted

Way over reacting grabbing his wallet like he was told to do. Wonder where those bullets went? Looked like a crowded backdrop. He's lucky no one else was shot. What the heck was he shooting at on shots 3 and 4? Seemed pretty clear his wallet wasn't all that dangerous. That cop was scared. Situational awareness is one thing, but scared is quite another.

Do they have helmet laws there? I have a buddy who was pulled over by a motorcycle cop and given a seat belt ticket...
