A white South Carolina police officer was charged with murder hours after law enforcement officials viewed a dramatic video that appears to show him shooting a fleeing black man several times in the back.
On Wednesday morning, 40 to 50 people gathered at North Charleston City Hall to protest the shooting death.
North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey announced the charges against patrolman Michael Thomas Slager at a hastily called news conference on Tuesday.
