After a white police officer was charged with murder for shooting a seemingly unarmed black man in the back as he ran away, stars immediately took to Twitter to react.
A video of the shooting surfaced online where you can see officer Michael T. Slager firing eight times at Walter Scott in a grassy lot in North Charleston, S.C.
According to the New York Times, Slager claimed he feared for his life because Scott had taken his stun gun during a traffic stop.
Everyone from The 100‘s Isaiah Washington and Raising Hope‘s Martha Plimpton, to Sleepy Hollow‘s Orlando Jones and Parenthood‘s Erika Christensen tweeted about it.
