The thug that shot Walter Scott dead as Scott was running away has been charged with murder.

Since Scott was not threatening the thug, he had no grounds to use deadly force.

Charging killer thugs is an important step forward, but we are only seeing it begin. Meanwhile, convicting them will be hard, especially with all-white juries.

I think we should start prosecuting thugs for lying about what happened. That happens a lot more often. Convicting a hundred thugs for perjury and sentencing each one to 2 years in prison will have a bigger effect on the behavior of thugs than sentencing ten of them to 30 years in prison.
