with the professional cops who are more sensitive to African Americans:

St. Louis Police Release Video Of Kajieme Powell Killing That Appears At Odds With Their Story

2 cops unload with 6 shots each - guy took 2 energy drinks and some donuts.

Mayor Slay, you are getting a pass on this one (so far). Mr. Holder - what do you think of this one?

I'm sure the Governor. Lacy Clay and the nutcase black female state legislator all will have something helpful to say about this.

Shows how biased the police are. What the police said does NOT match the video. They said he was lunging/had an overhand stance with a knife. This didn't happen. And they expect us to believe the Brown case?

Wow the people of Ferguson are ignorant.

What justifies a shooting to you people?

ANY cop would have shot that guy, white, black or hispanic it doesn't matter!

get your head out of your azz!

I hate everything that is going on.

I have a feeling we are witnessing a start of a new movement that will keep people engaged in what is going on in their communities.

The police departments not only in Ferguson and St. Louis have initiated a fight with the community they are there to serve. It isn't pretty.

Standard protocol = if knife-wielding suspect is closing in on the officer and approaching a distance of 21 feet, shoot to disable the threat. Within 21 feet, the suspect has the potential to inflict severe bodily harm or death. The officers just wanted to go home to their families alive at the end of a day.

Gotta love those armchair lawyers who think they know it all.

it's possible that the cops are shooting so many people that it becomes difficult to keep track and they get their stories mixed up from time to time.

I assumed it was justified, till I saw the video. I just thought there was a protocol to follow before shooting to kill. Maybe we should become accustomed to this. Once other people start feeling like the police may be a bit out of control, then it'll raise awareness. Until then, it doesn't matter. I want to focus on the issue of white on white crime. We can't even send our children to schools without having to worry about this issue!
