Riverside County, CA — Before Deputy George Scott emptied his service pistol into the back of Edward Paul Manning, Manning was accused of “dumpster diving” — a non-crime. For years, Manning’s family has fought for justice and for years that justice never came. Illustrating the lack of transparency and secrecy within the department and county who killed him, is the fact that it took them almost 5 years just to release the body camera footage.

After watching the footage, it becomes entirely clear why the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department wanted to keep it secret. It shows one of their deputies take aim as an unarmed man ran away from him and dump his entire pistol into the innocent man’s back, with four of the shots being fired after Manning had already collapsed.

“In public, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department claims to embrace transparency, but behind closed doors, the department fights to keep evidence like this video from coming to light,” attorney Peter Reagan said. “They preach transparency in public but encourage secrecy in private.”

Reagan and co-counsel John Taylor are representing Manning’s family in a lawsuit against the sheriff’s department and the county. They are seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for the shooting.

On the night he was killed, March 4, 2017, Manning was allegedly trespassing behind an outlet mall when a security officer saw him “dumpster diving” and called 911. When deputies responded to the scene, Manning took off running, narrowly escaping being hit as he ran across the freeway.

Instead of simply letting a man run off for trying to sustain himself out of other people’s garbage, multiple units proceeded to give chase with a police helicopter joining in as well — over dumpster diving...........read and watch more......
