The North Charleston Police Department fired the cop who fatally shot the unarmed black man.
Michael Sager was arrested yesterday and since has been charged with murdering 50 year old Walter Scott.
The Times has reported that North Charleston Police Chief Eddie Driggers told the media that he was disgusted by the video:
I have watched the video and I was sickened by what I saw, Eddie Driggers, the North Charleston police chief, told reporters, at an emotional and often chaotic news conference, with protesters repeatedly shouting and interrupting. And I have not watched it since.
Asked whether the proper protocols were followed after the shooting, Chief Driggers said, Obviously not.
Driggers told the media that handing the case over to the state for investigation is “the right thing to do.”
