The man was carving a small wood carving knife while he crossed a street in front of a police car. The officer jumped from the car shouted ‘ drop the knife ‘ a few times and seconds later simply shot the man to death.
At no time did the wood carver turn to face the officer, he did not threaten the officer either. That is the finding of the Seattle police investigation and the testimony of the witnesses.
The police gave the mother of the victim over 1 million dollars and the cop resigned.
You watch this dash cam footage and tell me what happened. You'll be shocked.
That was cold-blooded murder. Man ambles across street crosswalk, completely peaceful demeanor and stride.
Cop exits vehicle, aggressively strides to corner, yells at pedestrian “Hey! Hey! Drop that knife!”. Off camera, on mic. Less than nine seconds later shots
The pedestrian was walking a normal pace, 9 seconds is only about twelve steps. Twelve steps from when the cop BEHIND him first yells “Hey”.
Cold-blooded murder.
