We already witnessed a murder caught on video when an officer used a prohibited choke hold on Eric Gardner until he died. He already had like 7 over officers in complete control of him but the officer applying the hold still felt the need to hang on for dear life until he stopped breathing.

Eight shots (and he was still running until that last one) at close-ish range, and he still has to cuff him? What on earth was he shooting at? Was he trying for a wound, or to kill?
Victim didn't appear to be armed, so the officer obviously was afraid of....possibly the way he ran away from him?
Cold blood.

Your account is completely inaccurate as Garner stated "I can't breath" 11 times after the officer let go of the choke hold, but that's irrelevant to the topic at hand.
although they did make an initial statement that went along with the officer's BS:

On the plus side, the police aren't pretending this wasn't a murder - he (Slager) is being treated like a real suspect.
ETA: although they did make an initial statement that went along with the officer's BS:
"Police and witnesses," lol. Who the hell wrote that.

I hope there are other charges coming to go along with the obvious murder charge. Planting evidence, providing false report, and obstruction just for starters. Anyone else would see any and all charges possible.
