Oh WTF!!! So the St. Louis police shoot and kill what they claim was knife-wielding man who was charging at them after robbing a store. Now we have the footage. First let me just warn you, this is graphic. This is a man being shot to death. So for those who dont want to watch it, let me just summarize what is in this footage: 1. The victim, Kajieme Powell, is slowly walking towards the cops and at some distance. 2. He is taunting them by saying go ahead and shoot me (because why? no idea). 3. At no point is he charging them 4. At no point are his hands lifted and wielding a knife. His hands are clearly by his sides. 5. It took all of roughly 15 seconds between the arrival of the cops and the murder of this man. 6. At no point did I see any stolen items on him (he allegedly just robbed a store right there and had stolen drinks and donuts). Now unless everything is tucked into his front pockets and away from the camera or he chugged the sodas and ate the donuts in the time it took the cops to come;I simply dont see any evidence of this alleged robbery. 7. And finally the most disturbing part of all of this - if you watch this horror to the end: they continued shooting his obviously dead body. In short, a man was murdered in cold blood for walking toward the police slowly and saying shoot me... that is all. Yep! huffingtonpost/2014/08/20/kajieme-powell-shooting_n_5696546.html
