The police dash-cam video was released late this afternoon showing Walter Scott being pulled over by Officer Michael Slager. Scott had just bought the car a few days earlier and was in the process of registering and insuring it.
Scott was stopped for having a burned out tail light, but SC law only requires one rear tail light and Scott had two tail lights, while one was burned out.
Officer Slager will have a long time to figure out if he did the right thing in this incident. Unfortunately, Scott doesn't have that option.
