WHERE did this happen ?
hahah nigger got owned
A suspect armed with a knife can cover 21 feet in a second and a half, too
quickly for an officer to respond with appropriate lethal force in self
defense.
You come within 21 feet of a cop while armed with a knife, and you’re done
for.
Now, these cops held back until he was much too close. They were clearly
trying to avoid this outcome. This was suicide by cop.
This is fucking sick. God damn worthless cowards!!!!!!!!!!
1:29 the man pulls a knife and then starts heading closer to the officers.
If the officer feels his life is in danger he (and anyone really) has the
right to defend themselves with lethal force. It’s the same as having a
conceal carry permit. You do not pull your gun unless you mean to use
it…
Fucking cowards are still pointing their guns at him after they shot him 12
times and he’s obviously dying on the ground!! COWARDS!!!!!
Yeah to all the people saying they should’ve tazed him can you honestly say
if a knife wielding maniac was standing 10 feet from you and advancing
every second you’d put away your gun (assuming you’d have enough time) and
pull out a tazer which A: Only has one shot, and B: Isn’t always effective
especially when the person on the receiving end is on drugs like this man
might very well have been. You really don’t need to answer, you wouldn’t
and you know it.
Only thing sadder than yet another death is yet another person that can’t
hold their phone sideways when taking video. Seriously, learn how to
fucking take video.
taxpYa dolla beels saved ya’ll.
What happened to shooting people in the leg?
For anybody who might be wondering why they cuffed him after he was shot:
almost every law enforcement agency (if not all) has a protocol to cuff a
suspect who has had lethal force used against him or her as a safety
precaution. The officers may believe the suspect is dead, but imagine the
officers making that presumption and it turning out to be false. That can
be a dangerous outcome for the officers. I noticed the concern about that
being expressed in the video and thought I would clarify that for anybody
who was interested.
He clearly brought this on himself. He immediately approched the first
officer with the knife seeking to stab the cop, but he pussied out when he
seen the 1st cops gun in his face, so he walks over to the other cop who
powell seen was a little slower to pull his gun out, then Powell goes in
for the kill on the 2nd cop, the cop sees this about to happen and pulls
his weapon and fires. Suicide by cop.
Seems to me that there was a dispute between a shop owner and an angry
man… Was the soda’s really stolen?? He placed them in front of the store
and waited for the police?? The police, drove up pulled their guns and
murdered a man over a dispute… Cold blooded murder a police force who
feel they have a right to kill anyone they please.. They carry a badge that
allows them to do so… SERVE AND PROTECT… Serve and protect
themselves… God help us all… This country is domed if action is not
taken to correct the massive corruption in many police agencies.. It wears
down the legitimacy of our country.. Right now we are no better than North
Korea, China, Iran, or Nazi Germany… Right is right, and all the BS in
the world does not change that fact… Thugs are patrolling our streets,
serving themselves, just as the Nazis did in the 1930’s.. Maybe a massive
take over by our military of the police is the only solution…
The cops clearly had their guns out BEFORE the guy took the hand out of his
pocket, revealing the alleged knife. Talk about escalation and
deescalation…
Things like this wouldn’t happen if people stopped acting like they were
above the law.
I think he was trying to make a statement about the Brown incident, because
he was supposedly killed after stealing swisher sweets. More or less
challenging the cops to kill him for stealing two sodas from a store. And
they did, in an instant. Maybe he had a knife, maybe not. People lie. Cops
lie. Cops kill. Fact is, they were trigger happy and could have handled
that in a non-lethal way. Nothing else matters. This really disgusts me.
This clearly was a threat to the officers.. He was not a threat to other
people, but to the officer.. He allegedly took two sodas out of the store,
next thing he would have went for is the cops donuts… People on the
street seemed better trained at defusing the situation…
To those of you defending the cops. If one day this sort of thing happens
to your family member or loved one, remember to also defend the cops then.
What I find weird is how they tried cuffing him afterwards. It’s almost as
if they didn’t want to believe they had killed him. I can imagine
adrenaline was pumping through their veins like crazy. I bet that 2 seconds
of firing when this man was running towards them feels like a blur, and
when he fell to the ground and rolled towards the officer, they may have
thought he was still trying to attack them (He could have been drugged, his
erratic behaviour and aggressive attitude could have suggested this, he did
charge two officers who had guns pointed at him after all), and that’s why
2 final shots were made. This whole event happened in just a few short
seconds, the officers were on the defensive after a crazed attacker charged
at them with a knife, and I bet adrenaline was pumping through the officers
veins like crazy.
The people suggesting that they should have shot him in the leg are a
little stupid. This isn’t the fucking matrix. This is real life. He was a
mere 8ft away from them and moving towards them (his legs obviously moving
in this situation), when the first shot was taken. I believe shooting him
in the leg is not the smartest move to make, at that point you protect
yourself. And even if they did manage to successfully hit him in the leg
(which would have been more luck than anything else), there is no reason to
believe he still wouldn’t have been able to attack them (especially if he
was on drugs like his behaviour suggested).
I think the comments along the lines of “they could have just tazed him
bro!” are also a little stupid, and not very well thought out. Again, the
man was a mere 8ft away from them when they started firing, and they
already had their guns drawn. I don’t think they expected this dude to have
a knife, or to charge towards them when they had 2 guns pointed either. I
don’t think they could have tazed him under those circumstances, lol. I
think a more logical suggestion is the guy that got shot shouldn’t have
pulled out a knife and started running towards 2 officers with guns pointed
at him while yelling “SHOOT ME MOTHERFUCKER!”.
Just so you know, I don’t condone what happened in this video. Hell, I’d
have preferred for the whole event never to have taken place, but it’s
always interesting to try and understand why the event unfolded like it
did. However, I will say that the people screaming police brutality
shouldn’t have access to the internet.
Cops are out of control in this racist backwards southern state! NO JUSTICE
NO PEACE, COPS OFF THE STREETS! SOUNDED LIKE 8 effing BULLETS! These
racist police are the true animals! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! COPS OFF THE
STREETS! Put these police imbeciles in cages and throw away the key, then
lets do what they did to all the people of colour especially African
Americans…except in slow torture than with bullets and watch them squirm.
I have no love for them, not one drop remains in my heart for people who
continuously abuse those with less power! NUNCA MAS!
I live in Canada and WoW just!! WoW …That was saddest thing, my
condolences to the family and i hope you get Justice even thought that
won’t bring him BACK!.. ..These cops should be in prison, **America the
LAND OF THE FREE Huh**!!!I just watched a Murder by the the peoples
protectors, people trained in conflict resolution!! THAT was an Execution,
he only comes near them after he’s dead and rolls the ten feet down hill
towards him,That was straight up Murder!!!They Knew what they were coming
to, THEY KNEW HE WAS ERRATIC, THEY KNEW HE HAD A KNIFE… WTF.. WARNING
SHOOTS,a leg even, A Taser,rubber bullets, How about a step back and Talk
For a Second… you pay these guys TO PUT YOU IN JAIL and Now THEY JUST
SHOOT FIRST and during a time thats so stressed…THAT’S NOT HELP,its like
they are trying to start something!!! God help you all down there..Bless…
There’s something Really WRONG with this…why cuff a dead man, why didn’t
they have less lethal force, That was so COLD BLOODED! , being a Human,
this make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is called SUICIDE BY COP!!
When they tell you to DROP THE KNIFE, you better DROP THE KNIFE!!! It’s not
rocket science folks!!!
Very sad, suicide by cop.
I guess if you want a police man to shoot you dead, pull a knife out of
your pocket, refuse to drop it when ordered to by two police officers with
guns drawn, still refuse to drop the knife when given multiple
opportunities to do so, shout at the police officers pointing guns at you
to “Shoot me mother F##ker!”, then walk towards the police officers
brandishing the knife.
For those people wondering why the police officers shot multiple times, its
because of their training. The police are taught that once the situation
has degenerated to the extent that lethal force is needed you continual to
shoot till the threat is neutralized. This is because many police officers
have been killed by suspects who have been shot/pepper sprayed/tasered, but
not stopped. Like I said very sad Kajieme Powell choose suicide by cop.
Only on youtube can you see people defend someone trying to murder another
human being with a knife.
Fire and brimstone await those that abuse there power on earth. Those
officers responsible will face that all eternity , and they have no power
to stop it…. They will never see heaven or be with there families in
heaven.
This whole situation is fucked up, but am I the only one wondering what the
video was originally intended to be? Like before the altercation between
the man and the police?
One less ape.
The commentators do not seem like the most intelligent of sorts. Neither
is the dead guy.
I have a team of scientists and researchers quickly find a solution to
situations like this, after much research and data gathered my team of
scientists using some of the latest and most powerful equipment and
experimentation on earth have found out that the best way to avoid being
shot is don’t attack a police officer. We’re astounded by the results and
will continue to test it through field trials. So far all of our law
abiding tests subjects have NOT been shot by police officers. We have made
a huge leap for mankind on this day ladies and gentlemen
I hate everyone in this video so fucking bad… Every fucking second of
this video you can pause and count off a million different things that
could have been done to prevent this. What the fuck is wrong with people??
This makes me feel so fucking sick…
Stop taping and shoot the racist white cop thug terrorists!
din do nuffing f you ask me
those pigs killed a poor innocent boy
knife vs 2 guns equils knife wins obviously.
Funny how they say, “they could have tased that man”. If they tased him,
they’d be saying he should’ve just been pepper sprayed. If he was pepper
sprayed, they would say it should have been just hand to hand take down.
Nope, that would be brutality too. Just sing him a sweet song as he goes
off to do some really messed up shit. Also, people don’t realize it, but
tasers have actually caused heart attacks.
if a man with a knife comes at me and i have a gun, i’m shooting him.
The fucking jigaboo is already misrepresenting (lying like a motherfucker)
what happened before he even played back his own video footage! Dude had a
drawn gun in his hand, waving it around and shit, but according to
numbnuts, the cop should have tasered him! What a fucking mental Hercules
this fucktard is! The lies to try to make whitey into a villain are just
reflexive with these people! By the time he tells the story for the fifth
time, he’ll say the black guy was kissing babies and helping old ladies
across the street when suddenly a white cop drove up and shot him in the
face with a bazoooka while spewing racial epithets. Fucking disgraceful.
just to make sure they shoot him another 3 times when he is already on the
ground.
see I’m all for what’s right and LIVES matter but this is the stupid stuff
I don’t like. Despite right from wrong or whatever. All of this could have
be avoided by him one, not stealing and two, not aggravating or disobeying
the officers. The Black community mainly sit here and try to make all these
“victims” to be 100% innocent and they are not. I’m not saying its for cops
to just kill them but at the same time. why be fucking dumb and give them a
reason to.. if he would have even just stopped and got on the ground. this
may would have never happened. if he did and they killed him anyway then
yeah I would have felt sorry for but it this case. he had it coming despite
right from wrong. even if they killed him just because he is black. we got
to do better.
WHERE did this happen ?
