Hip-Hop Reacts to the Fatal Shooting of Walter Scott by Police Officer Michael Slager

White North Charleston, S. C. police officer Michael Slager was charged with murder for fatally shooting Walter Scott, 50-year-old father of four, while he was running away from the officer in North Charleston on Saturday (April 4). The incident was captured on video by a witness. Scott’s father said on NBC News the video of the incident prevented the shooting from being “swept under the rug.” Slager was denied bail at his court hearing yesterday (April 7). The video is disgusting and very sad. Hip-hop reacted to the incident on social media. Here's what they had to say.

Cop should b treated the same way that man would b treated if he killed a white cop ...locked in a cell 24hrs a day on death row! If it wasn't a camera involved he would b at home with his family like it was another day at work! Of course they gone prosecute him because it's no way 2 get around it but he should receive the max bcuz he's a cop and he should know better!!!
