Slager’s attorney said Monday that Scott had tried to grab for the stun gun and Slager felt threatened, before dropping him as a client by Tuesday. After the video emerged, Slager was arrested and charged after the disturbing video emerged, North Charleston Mayor Keith Sumney announced in a press conference.

Insisting the cop made a "bad decision," Sumney said, "When you're wrong, you’re wrong. When you make a bad decision, I don’t care if you’re behind the shield or a citizen on the street, you have to live with that decision."
