When nine black churchgoers in Charleston were massacred by Dylann Roof, a white man with Confederate sympathies, the city stayed calm and the victims’ families offered examples of grace and forgiveness. Roof’s guilty verdict came less than two weeks after a jury deadlocked in the case of Slager, a white ex-police officer charged with fatally shooting Walter Scott, a black man, as Scott tried to flee an April 2015 traffic stop.
