Pees in the brown Koolaid
Tasers--didn't work.
Pepper spray---didn't work.
ASP strikes to the head and arm---didn't work.
Punches and kicks to the head---didn't work.
.45 caliber gunshot wound to the abdomen---didn't work.
The officer who was lying on his back with a gunshot wound to his leg could have justifiably shot every one of those thugs who got near him during the melee, yet he didn't.
Amazing video.

And that is the difference between police brutality and justifiable use force.

New facts from SC.
On the first day we saw the North Charleston, South Carolina, shooting video of Walter Scott by Officer Michael Slager we were as shocked as everyone. However, as our research now indicates, there is much more to the story.
Today, April 12th – We share alarming discoveries within the non-discussed details.
Additionally, by adding a running clock from the moment Scott begins to run from the vehicle scene you can see the length of the struggle:
You can clearly see and hear this was not a short fight prior to Officer Slager using his firearm to shoot Walter Scott. But that fact alone is not the most important discovery in the past 24 hours.
What is potentially a game changer occurs when you review Officer Slager stating he had lost control/custody of the x26 Taser he deployed to restrain a non compliant Scott – and recognize the Taser actually appears to have been used against him.
If you review the raw footage (source New York Times) of the witness shooting video you can clearly see the wire from the Taser connected to Officer Slager.
Additionally, if you follow the wire you also recognize the cartridge from the Taser itself is being dragged behind the fleeing Walter Scott.
This is critical because the darts are on one end of the wire, and the cartridge is on the other end – usually cartridge remaining in the trigger assembly. However, the cartridge is obviously dislodged in the struggle.
If the cartridge is dragging behind Scott -somehow tangled with his foot/shoe or leg – and the line is visibly taut (which it is) then the dart end is indeed attached to Officer Slager.
*NOTE* The civilian version of the x26 (x26C) only has 10-15′ of wire, but the LEO version is 25′ to 35′. From the imaging it appears the length is at least 25′.
This would also explain the picture of Slager being debriefed after the confrontation with his left pant leg folded up as he explains events to the documenting officer.
Expanding these visuals and going back to the original source video taken by eye-witness Feidin Santana, an emerging picture comes to the surface. Officer Slager did in fact lose custody of the Taser to Walter Scott.
This puts Slager at a serious disadvantage and obvious risk.
Eye-witness Santana describes hearing the sound of the Taser in his statement (as shared by his attorney Todd Rutherford):
[…] After observing the two men struggle on the ground and hearing the sound of a Taser gun, I began filming the altercation with my cell phone”. (link)
In the micro-seconds of decision-making, and having chased a fleeing suspect, and having physically struggled for almost two minutes, a scenario emerges where Slager -having lost the advantage of his Taser, and facing the risk of incapacitation from his own Taser being used against him – doesn’t realize (as they stand up – still fighting) the cartridge has dislodged from the trigger assembly.
The Taser wire is clearly still attached to Officer Slager as he draws his firearm to regain control against the risk presented by Scott. The whereabouts of the actual trigger assembly unknown to Slager but in the video you can see it landing behind them.
If you frame by frame the video you will note the wire is still attached to the torso of Slager, and tightening by the fleeing Scott, as Slager fires the first shot.

The same reason a driver gets fired if involved in an accident regardless of fault. To not fire the driver suggests the company thinks the driver didn't do anything wrong and sets the stage for a lawsuit.
After a period of time, the driver gets his job back and the company can say, "....the union got his job back". The company saves face and the chance of a lawsuit is minimized.
Sufficient time must pass for an investigation. The PD isn't making any quick decisions.

Wouldn't he be 'suspended with pay' be the norm for a LEO?

Normally I would agree with you on this .
But it's all about politics .
To avoid any community out bursts , the cop must be sacrificed , for the good of all .

There would have been riots if the cop hadn't been charged. And there still will be riots if he isn't found guilty. People need to let the justice system run its course. I think he will be found guilty but of a lesser charge that I thought at first. Also, there may still be more evidence we don't know about yet. People need to be patient and wait and see.
Everybody else does though.

Oklahoma reserve deputy charged with manslaughter
Oklahoma reserve deputy charged with manslaughter
After he tried to sell an illegal gun to a cop, and the cop said it was an accident.
Is this another case of racist cops??
