it did happen, look at how he holding the knife, in an overhand grip, military style technique. They didn't lie, its fact.
but.... they said he never held a knife in overhand grip.

Ok, you the pro with judgements, distances, angles..ect.... we are just your sheep, carry on.
the video is the proof
it sure is, you need to observe it some more.
Hope you don't hunt, youll miss every time.
Source, where?the video is the proof. and the investigators (more pro than me) state that the video contradicts with officers' statements. I don't know what do you want me to say. I can't see how you cannot see it in the video. I guess we see what we want to see and I know for sure that I'm seeing it right.
and you're saying that the investigators are wrong? oh ok. sure you must be an expert better than them.
You can't see how many ft in the video you posted because it's too far. It's not important as long as the law allows the police to use lethal force when a person with a weapon or a person who charges toward the police is within 21 ft.I posted a video in OP. if that looks like 5 feet to you, then you need to learn what 5 feet is like.
with this video, the officials found that the video did not match up with officers' statements. they said it's not even 3-5 feet. it's more than 10 feet.

and I am saying that this new video contradicts with officers' statements and the officials are investigating it. a new lead.
and that's exactly why they shot him, he didn't listen to commands, he wouldn't drop the weapon ( a knife) and he was a threat to them. At 5 feet away, anything can happen in a split second, the guy can lunge with the knife, he can tackle anyone before they can reactI understand what you are trying to do, and agree to some extent, and disagree with you on other points ( the racial aspect ). Yes, officers should be investigated ....impartially....after each shooting. Most Departments do this.
But ... I would go one step further and remove qualified immunity. I also feel that civilians have every right to own the same weapons the police have. We have the 2nd Amendment for a reason. Most LEO's that I know agree with me on this, it would keep the power tripping bad apples off the force.
In this video however, the person was warned to stop by two officers. I didn't see a knife because the video I saw was from too far away. They shot and killed him because he didn't stop. They did not know if he had a firearm or not. He was also approaching them in Ana aggressive manner.
What if a cop shoot the leg and miss? That's why they are trained to shoot the upper body.Would the police officer shot him in the leg only one time, not 9 times to get him down on the sidewalk or ground? Powell would have been alive if he had fallen on the ground. The police officer would be able to take the knife away from him and also to arrest him until further notice of getting a lawyer for himself. But the officer were way over their head with by killing him instantly right then and there.
I don't hunt but I've hunted before. no miss.
no idea why you're attacking me. why aren't you attacking the investigators?
