Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi atu tangata i roto i te motokā me Walter Scott i te wā i whakatā ia mō te pakaru o te rama o muri o tana Mercedes, kua whakaaturia mai. Kāore te pirihimana i whakapuaki i tōna tuakiri, ā, kāore te whānau i te mōhio ko wai ia, engari i whakapumautia e tētahi pūrongo pirihimana i hopukina te tangata me Scott, ā, i whakanohoia ki muri o tētahi waka pirihimana, e ai ki a CNN. Ko te tangata, ehara nei i te whanaunga, ka taea pea te whakamarama i nga mea i tupu i waenga i te Kaitiaki a Michael Slager e aukati ana i te tokorua - me te timatanga o te riipene ataata e whakaatu ana i a Scott e patua ana. Kua whakawakia te pirihimana 33-tau te pakeke mo te kohuru i muri i te patu a Walter Scott 50-tau te pakeke i te Rahoroi kua hipa i North Charleston, South Carolina. Kua kitea hoki i whakaaetia te pirihimana ki te noho ki te mana, ahakoa ko ia te kaupapa o te amuamu e kii ana i whakamahia e ia te kaha nui ki tetahi tangata kore patu. Kei te arotakehia e te pirihimana te take o mua i te marama o te pupuhi o Mr Scott. E karanga ana a Michael Slager ki ana hoa mahi i runga i te reo irirangi i muri i tana patu i a Walter Scott, he matua mokemoke, he matua tamariki tokowha. Kua whakawakia a Michael Slager, i te taha mauī i roto i tana whakaahua pirihimana, mo te kohuru i a Walter Scott, 50 tau te pakeke, matau. E ai ki ngā pūrongo a ngā kaititiro, i uru a Scott ki tētahi pakanga poto i runga i te whenua me te pirihimana i whakatā tōna motokā i te mea kua pakaru te rama o muri. Ka kitea a Mr Scott e werohia ana e rima nga wa ki muri i a ia e rere ana i te pirihimana patu i roto i nga riipene ataata i hopukina e te waea pukoro i te waahi. I tīmata te tūtukitanga i te 9.53am i te wā i whakapā atu ai te kaitiaki Slager ki tōna mana whakahaere e kī ana kei te whakatā ia i tētahi waka Mercedes tae hina. I muri iho i ētahi meneti ka puta mai ia i waho o te manawa i a ia e whakaahua ana i te whai i tētahi kaiwhiwhi i runga i te waewae, e ai ki tana, he pango, he koti matomato hoki tōna. Ka whai ake i tēnei he wā kāore he whakapā mai i ngā pirihimana, ahakoa ko ngā hoa mahi i te ara ki te āwhina i te tono mō tōna wāhi noho. Katahi ka karanga atu a Slager ki nga kaiwhakahaere i te 9.38am i muri i tana pupuhi e waru ki a Mr Scott. 'Kua pupuhi. Kua hinga te kaupapa. I hopu ia i...
I mauheretia te kaihihi ngaro i te wa i tu ai raua ko Scott mo te ngaro o te rama o muri. Kua tukuna te rekoata o te waea irirangi a te pirihimana a Michael Slager ki ona hoa mahi. I patua e te pirihimana he matua pango kore patu, 50 tau te pakeke, a Walter Lamer Scott. Ka taea te rongo i a Slager e korero ana ki te kaituku'i mau ia ki taku Taser'i muri i te pupuhi. Kāore he tohu i mau i a Scott te patu a te pirihimana, i whakamahia rānei ki a ia.
