St. Louis Police Release Video Of Kajieme Powell Killing That Appears At Odds With Their Story Aug 21, 2014 09:59 am The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released cell phone footage Wednesday of the police shooting of Kajieme Powell, a 25-year-old black man killed on Tuesday in St. Louis, according to St. Louis Public Radio. A convenience store owner called 911 on Tuesday when he [suspected] Powell stole drinks and donuts from his shop, according to a recording of the call. Another woman called to report Powell was acting erratically and had a knife in his pocket. Two officers in a police SUV responded to the calls, the cell phone video shows. When the officers got out of their vehicle, Powell walked in their direction, yelling and telling them to shoot him already. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said Tuesday that both of the officers opened fire on Powell when he came within a three or four feet of them [holding a knife] in an [overhand grip.] But the newly released cell phone footage [undermines] the statement, showing Powell approaching the cops, but not coming as close as was reported, with his [hands at his side.] The officers began shooting within 15 seconds of their arrival, hitting Powell with a [barrage] of bullets. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department released the video and 911 calls, telling St. Louis Public Radio that it plans to act transparently. The shooting death occurred less than four miles from where Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer in the suburb of Ferguson on Aug. 9. Dotson defended the officers in a television appearance later Wednesday, acknowledging the discrepancies between his Tuesday account and what the video revealed. Though Powells hands were down by his sides, Dotson told CNN, he was moving toward the officer with a knife. The officers did what I think you or I would do, they protected their life in that situation, Dotson said. CNNs Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo pushed Dotson on the officers decision to use lethal force, rather than opting for an alternate form of defense like a Taser. [Certainly a Taser is an option] thats available to the officers, but Tasers arent 100 percent, Dotson said. So youve got an individual with a knife whos moving towards you, not listening to any verbal commands, continues, says, shoot me now, kill me now. Tasers arent 100 percent. if that Taser misses, that [individual] continues on and hurts an officer. In a lethal situation, they used lethal force, he added.
