Just one? Walter Scott.
Are you serious?
The state murder trial*of Michael Slager last year in 2016 ended in a hung jury.
Slager shoot n killed Scott in the back as he ran away then planted a taser next to him.
Despite this one White man on the jury said:
“
I cannot in good conscience consider a guilty verdict,.”
But that is white ppl staying on code.
The jury*was 92% White in a county that is less than 70% White.
They had a retrial. Slager got the state to drop the murder charge by pleading guilty.
The judge determined that Slager was guilty of second-degree murder. That meant he could not give him less than 19 years.
He'll b out in about 6 or 7 tops.
Some of Slager’s fellow officers n supervisors, said that Slager did what he was supposed to do. 6 on the jury were unwilling to find him guilty even of manslaughter.
White ppl staying on code.
So once again
Find one case in the last 50 years where most white folks agreed it was wrong for the police to kill a black man ?
