White Cop sacked for shooting black kid
-
The white police officer in South Carolina charged with murder for shooting an unarmed black man in the back, has been fired.
But the city of North Charleston will still cover the health insurance for Michel Slager's pregnant wife.
The mother of the victim, Walter Scott, said the video of her son being shot was a terrible thing to see.
"When I looked at that tape, that was the most horrible thing I've ever seen. To see my son running defenselessly, being shot, it just tore my heart to pieces," Judy Scott cried.
"I want them to know from a child, he has been raised in the church. From day one he sang on the choir, he played the drums, he would call his mom every single day," she added.
The video of Scott's shooting has proven to be pivotal evidence in the charge against the officer. And it has reignited the debate over whether police officers should wear body cameras.
The city had already ordered 100 such cameras, and now they're ordering 150 more.
