Whether you are a police officer or not, you don't get to shoot someone in the back and claim self-defense.
The video makes it pretty clear that Walter Scott was murdered. And it's pretty clear that Michael Slager, a North Charleston, SC, police officer, was the murderer. You can watch the video at the link. It's pretty hard to watch, but it's also quite clear what happened.

It strikes me as perverse that we even have to say this, but having seen a number of cases where this obvious principle was neglected, I guess we do.
If the only witness was another cop he'd be in the clear...
