A white former police officer in South Carolina fought with an unarmed black man and said "let go of my Taser before I shoot you," a forensic video expert testified Tuesday. Slager pleaded guilty to violating Scott's civil rights for shooting him in the back as he ran away from a traffic stop. Cellphone video of the shooting was shared worldwide in the days after the shooting, and it has taken center stage once again at the sentencing hearing. Imel highlighted Slager's stun gun lying on the ground, several feet behind the officer as he ran after and shot Scott. Slager, 36, pleaded guilty in federal court in May to violating Scott's civil rights by shooting Scott without justification on April 4, 2015.
