This is the moment a white police officer shot a fleeing unarmed black man five times in the back then handcuffed his lifeless body after he crumpled on the ground.

Patrolman Michael Slager, 33, opened fire on father-of-four Walter Scott, 50, in North Charleston, South Carolina, on Saturday morning after reportedly stopping him over a broken tail light.

Slager was arrested, jailed and charged with murder yesterday afternoon after the incendiary footage emerged.
