Murder by Cop

Watch the video. You'll see that the victim, Walter Scott, was already running away when the cop Michael Slager, who said he "feared for his life", pulled out his gun and fired eight shots at Scott. You'll also hear a delay between a seven shot fusillade and then the last, and deliberately-aimed, eighth shot. And then, after handcuffing the dying murder victim, the murderer oh-so-casually plants evidence to "justify" the murder.

The reasoning behind the FBI's investigation becomes clearer when it was reported that a South Carolina grand jury indicted a cop, who had shot and killed an elderly black man, with "official misconduct".
