S.C. Officer Charged With Murder Had Prior Excessive Force Complaint


Officer Slager had an excessive force complaint lodged against him in 2013. It seems the incident was a case of mistaken identity. After the innocent victim had been tasered by Slager and filed a complaint, the charges were dropped, even though several eye-witnesses were not asked to respond.

If this incident had been investigated more thoroughly, perhaps an innocent man would be alive today, and this police officer would not be facing murder charges.
