Like many people I am disturbed by the hung jury in the Walter Scott murder case.
Michael Slager shot Walter Scott in the back and then planted a taser on him.
It doesn't get much worse than that.
Except when the jury didn't convict Slager.
Justice has been delayed, but it hasn't been denied.
South Carolina is eager to get Slager off the street. Because it was a mistrial rather than acquittal they get another chance at Slager.
Then there's the civil lawsuit against Slager.
The Scott family has also received $6.5 million from North Charleston.
None of this bring backs Walter Scott but there has been some measure of justice and there's a good chance there is more to come.
Unfortunately, Black Lives Matter can't see the trees for the forest. It's what happens when your thinking is skin deep.
