Allegations of excessive force against minorities are mounting against the South Carolina police officer recently caught on video fatally shooting unarmed suspect Walter Scott in the back.
Julius Garnett Wilson alleges in a new lawsuit that he was tased by Officer Michael Slager last August while lying face-down on the pavement.
The North Charleston police officer, who is white, was terminated and charged with murder last week after a bystander?s video captured him firing eight shots at Scott after a traffic stop. The 50-year-old unarmed black man was running from the officer when he was struck four times in the back and once in the ear. He was buried on Saturday.
