The complaint was for someone else and this guy didn't fit the description of who was complained about. The police were even told that they had the wrong guy and he continued to get tazed. Fairness has nothing to do with that.
I'm not saying the guy is a saint,as I don't know anyone involved but that night the cops were in the wrong.

That whole story is according to the guy with the mile long rap sheet. If you choose to believe somebody with a long criminal history vs an otherwise trustworthy guy who made one really bad decision that's fine. Unfortunately there will be others that jump in the ring with a bunch of nonsense now that this event happened.

Wrong guy. Look at what I quoted.
In reference to the murder charge don't be surprised if it's reduced to manslaughter or if the officer is found not guilty. He followed his departments protocol to the letter right up until he wrongfully chose to shoot Mr. Scott. He didn't set out to murder him. The deceased refused to comply to normal commands by running from the officer so the taser was threatened and then eventually used. As we know from the original video the taser failed. Through the trial we will eventually find out what happened in between the 2 videos. I'm willing to bet it was one hell of a scuffle. That doesn't aquit the officer of all wrongdoing but it does add another element to the case that most won't admit. I'm not pulling for the officer but he has the best defense lawyer in our area, maybe in the south. Andy Savage is known around here for getting everyone off scott free. The officers original lawyer quit once he saw the video but old Andy jumped at the chance to represent him. Here's a link that sheds a different light than what the left and right media has been showing. This site is known locally for having inside scoops and knowing information more accurately and more quickly than the rest of the local media.
