The killing of Walter Scott

On April 4, 2015, North Charleston police officer Michael Schlager pulled over a car for a broken taillight. Within four minutes, the driver was dead, shot in the back 8 times. The officer claimed that the victim had been shot while scuffling over his Taser.

Unknown to the officer, a bystander filmed the last fatal confrontation, which told a different story from the officer's initial report. Once that video became public, the officer was fired and charged with murder. Here is the story from CNN:
