Protesters gathered Wednesday morning in Charleston, South Carolina after a video of a police shooting was released last night.
The video, captured by a bystander on Saturday, shows a police officer firing eight times at a man who is running away from him. Walter Scott, 50, stumbles and falls as he is struck and ultimately died. The police officer, 33-year-old Michael Slager, has been charged with murder.
