Powell Shooting (Cell Phone Camera)

You don't have to watch this because
it does show a young man being shot
to death a dozen times, for no good
reason.

The entire event of the partially-point-
blank-range killing of Kajieme Powell,
25 on August 19th by "Peace Officers"
who are paid to protect the communities
they serve, not to kill its members was
recorded on video by a cellphone.  

In a city still reeling with revolts over
the police killing of unarmed teenager,
Michael Brown, just ten days earlier,
these events certainly prove that the
local police had learned nothing, after
ten days of outrage and revolts.

They felt so immune from prosecution
that they believed that they were totally
above the law. This video also proves that
they lied - and that it incredibly unsafe to
be a young black man in Greater Metro
area of St. Louis, Missouri.

The policemen who killed Kajieme Powell
in this video claimed that he was lurching
at them with a "steak knife," with his arms
"raised high". They further claimed that he
was within 3 feet of them but the video
clearly shows that he was about 15 feet
away when they began to fire upon him -
but that yes, by the time he'd fallen off a
berm and rolled onto the sidewalk - and
the police were into their final shots of the
dozen bullets which hit him, he was THEN
three feet away from the cops.

At no time during Powell's interaction with
the police were his arms "raised high,"
even as the police instantly escalated the
situation, by jumped out of their truck with
guns drawn, as if the only thing they could
even imagine doing was to kill the guy.
Powell's arms were down by his sides - and
the "steak knife" must have been pretty
small, because it is not even visible in this
video.

Powell looked like he needed mental help,
not killing.

But the clincher is this: the fact that these
"Peace Officers" handcuffed Powell, when he
was already deader-than-a-doornail proves
to me that they KNEW that they were guilty
and were hastily trying to cover it up, to the
rightfully cynical comments of onlookers.

In my opinion, the perpetrators of Powell's
shooting death should all be fired and tried
for murder.
