Slager is in custody and is being charged with murder, and Scott’s family held a presser to address the matter. Anthony Scott, Scott’s brother, said, “We can’t get my brother back, and my family is in deep mourning for that… I don’t think that all police officers are bad cops, but there are some bad ones out there.”
He asked for everyone to keep praying for their family and said, “Justice will be served.”
Family attorney Justin Bamberg told reporters how grateful the family is for the video, because they could only imagine what would have happened if no one recorded the incident.

I would offer this family strength but apparently they don’t need it. They know they have justice on their side and that will help get them the verdict they never wished for.
