Pigs Are Flying - Hannity: YOU DO NOT SHOOT AN INNOCENT MAN IN BACK 8 TIMES IN COLD BLOOD LIKE THIS"

Sean Hannity said there's no justification for the police shooting of Walter Scott

Fox News host Sean Hannity is a vocal defender of police, as he demonstrated when he stood by the officer who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. But he drew the line Thursday, arguing in a testy exchange on his show that there's no justification for the grisly shooting of Walter Scott.

"YOU DO NOT SHOOT AN INNOCENT MAN IN THE BACK EIGHT TIMES IN COLD BLOOD LIKE THIS"
Hannity said.


The Scott shooting has drawn national attention following the release of a video recording that allegedly shows North Charleston, South Carolina, police officer Michael Slager shooting Scott eight times as the unarmed black 50-year-old was fleeing from the officer. Slager has been fired from the police department and charged with murder.

One of Hannity's guests, Rev. Jesse Peterson, head of the religious organization Bond, said the shooting initially upset him, but he later "calmed down" and questioned what led to the events. "I started to question things," Peterson said. "What happened before these shots?"

He's supposed to play victim to the media only focusing on the racial aspect

I'm am really tired of people who think that shooting an unarmed person under any circumstances can be "justified."
