Disgraced Cop Slager Gets 20 Yrs... HURRAY!

And now for a rare ray of good news in, what has been an unseasonably horrendous year - Michael T. Slager, the vile filthy pig who murdered Walter Scott in 2015 has been sentenced to 20 years in prison!
 
I've been covering this case from the beginning, first reporting on the police murder of Scott shortly after it happened in April 2015. Since then there have been follow-ups, including a hung jury in Slager's murder trial last December, and Slager's guilty plea in May of this year. Now the racist pig has been sentenced to 19 to 24 years behind bars for shooting the unarmed Black motorist in the back as he attempted to flee. Anyone who's been following this case will recall that right after gunning Scott down in cold blood, Slager then casually jogged over to the victim's body and laid his taser right next to Scott. It was obvious that the slimy cop was already preparing his excuse: violent Black criminal fights with White cop/tries to take gun. And in the past, that shit would have worked soo well, too... especially in South Carolina. Special and eternal thanks to citizen cop-watcher and hero Feidin Santana, for filming Scott's murder and Slager's attempts to cover up his crimes. Were it not for Santana's courageous acts, Slager may very well have never been brought to justice!
