Ex-Cop Slager Pleads Guilty To Violating Civil Rights

I first covered the police murder of Black motorist Walter Scott back in April 2015. I also wrote a brief update on that case back in December 2016. Back then, Scott's killer, ex-cop (forever pig) Michael Slager, had been on trial for murder. That trial had ended in a hung jury. Prosecutors in the case were reportedly preparing to send scumbag Slager to trial again in August 2017. However, news broke just earlier today that the disgraced North Charleston cop has plead guilty to a federal charge of violating Scott's Civil Rights. Slager was lead out of the courthouse in handcuffs. He is scheduled to be sentenced in June. When and/or if that happens, you will see a full report here.
