article_snippet.sent: (CNN)I'm haunted by the video of Officer Michael Slager firing eight shots at Walter Scott as Walter Scott fled Walter Scott encounter with North Charleston police
article_snippet.sent: -- Walter Scott back turned to Officer Michael Slager.
article_snippet.sent: What I find more disturbing is how Officer Michael Slager cuffs Walter Scott Walter Scott and allows Officer Michael Slager to die face-down in the dirt while Michael Slager appears to plant an item next to Officer Michael Slager body.
article_snippet.sent: Throughout the entire encounter with Walter Scott, it's clear Michael Slager had no idea someone was filming someone.

article_snippet.sent: That cost, however -- if we're talking the monetary kind -- may be eclipsed by the punitive damages delivered to Walter Scott's family in an inevitable civil suit against the North Charleston Police Department.
