Powell Shooting (Security Camera)

Powell was carrying a knife and shouting, "Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me now, mother------!" as he approached the officers, news reports say.

Ask and ye shall receive...

Some people seem to have trouble with the concept of paying for things. I guess it all comes from the welfare/entitlement concept that is so prevalent in America today.

I am so disgusted by this: I have not watched the video, but just because someone steals a couple dollars of something from somebody does not mean he should be riddled with bullets. What happened to the police arresting people? Police have gotten impatient. They don’t want to talk people down anymore. Or pull back and arrest them next time. It is disturbing.

[Paradox]

Literally, suicide by cop.

Now that I watched it I am even more disgusted. I resent living in a police state. There are major thieves on Wall Street and in government who never get touched.

The video is shot from too far away to see a knife in his hand, but he was well within the 25' mark, more like 10', and if he did have a knife he could have easily gotten to the first officer. Assuming he had a knife it was totally justified IMHO.

All he had to do was comply. If he was that mentally ill or drugged up to not comprehend, I'm sorry, but too damn bad....

Live like a gangsta, die like a gangsta.

[Wolfie]

Watch the CNN coverage. The pinhead wonders why the cops shot him, since he wasn’t charging the cops, only walking towards them, and didn’t raise the knife. A$$hole.

[DCBryan1]

As we say down south: HDGHSTFTD! (he done got himself shot the f**k to death)

[csvset]

So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

Caption of the photo: Members of a crowd gathered after a police-involved shooting, raising hands and chanting "Hands up, don't shoot" during an impromptu demonstration Tuesday in St. Louis. Police said a man brandishing a knife refused to drop it and was shot as he approached officers.

So even when the perp refused to raise his hands and instead approached officers cursing and brandishing a knife, these brain-dead morons pull the "Hands up" meme out of their arses.
