Inevitable Michael Slager Crowdfunding Campaign Gets Pulled from GoFundMe

It’s somewhat inevitable these days that, within hours of a newsworthy controversy, someone’s going to make a crowdfunding page to support whomever they believe to be the true victims of the media/progressives/conservatives/the system/etc. Someone set one up for Michael

Gofundme got pulled down. Good.

Jesus. The poor family. The guy went out on an errand, ended up dead.

A gun is not a way to avoid a chase. You inhuman piece of shit. Killing a man is not the way to say "stop running."

and another horrifyingly revealing aspect of this video is how non-chalant the cop is about shooting an unarmed man in the back from less than 10 feet away - and he's absolutely not bothered about it. Like the cop knew his story would be accepted no matter what the actual evidence was -and it probably would have until this video came out.

If that doesn't wake some people up to the fact that this is not an isolated incident, that there is a whole system in place that condones, protects and even encourages this kind of inhuman behavior on our police force... fuck me.

is the video a necessary part of this post, especially one with that particular screenshot?

walter scott's murder won't change the majority's opinion of the police and some of the majority will continue to raise money for racist killers.

So, wait, his lawyer was willing to argue that the unarmed man who was shot in the back at a distance was killed in a struggle for a hand-held device but he isn't willing to defend someone who was seen doing the shooting? I would have been willing to recognize it as some kind of principle about everyone deserving a defense up to that point. Now we know he's good getting a murderer off, just not being seen getting a murderer off. Well played, asshole.

The client lied to him. He might not have felt able to put Slager on the stand without suborning perjury. Plus, in repeating his client's lies, he might have felt that he, the lawyer, had blown his credibility with potential jurors. He might have agreed to represent Slager in a departmental review, not a murder trial; or he might have told Slager that a murder defense would cost more than what he quoted before, and Slager didn't have the money or balked at the price. All sorts of things could have gone down the day the video came out.

Did anyone else see MSNBC's interview with the man who shot and turned in the video? It's amazing that he came forward but also his experience trying to turn it over to the police is a bit... smh.

ETA: The Washington Post wrote about it.

As a foreigner I can't wrap my head around people being that scared to present evidence against another cop to the police : ( The whole police system has to so rotten for that to happen.
