Police : New Video Emerges of Police Shooting Kajieme Powell in St. Louis

[shaka64]

We may never really know what happened in the three minutes between when Michael Brown was stopped for jaywalking and when he was shot and killed by Officer Darren Wilson.

But we do know what happened on Tuesday during the 23 seconds between when St. Louis police arrived and when 25-year-old Kajieme Powell was shot and killed on Riverview Blvd. We know because police released the video. Powell walks around the sidewalk and a small grass embankment. He ignores police warnings to drop his knife. He advances on police at a normal speed, his arms swinging at his sides. And he is shot nine times, including while on the ground.

yep.. saw that.. they look for any excuse to use deadly force.. they could have tased the dude.. they could have shot him in the leg.. they could have done so many things.. but the truth is they hate black men.. and any excuse to kill, they take it. And while the focus is on the cops.. know that they judiciary behind them is just as racist.

Brutha with the cell went from laughing at the unfolding scene to a small, "Oh my God...."

Then the cops cuffed the dead man.

"Oh, my God...."
