I remember in 2015 there was a cop in SC I think who shot a Black guy in the back while he was running away. He said on the radio that the suspect had tried to take his Taser. A cell phone video proved that he did not and was just running away from a harmless traffic stop. The cop, Michael Slager, got a 20 year sentence but I think it took two trials to convict him. It just struck me as interesting that the guy 5 years ago tried to lie about the Taser as if that would have been a good excuse to shoot a guy in the back.
