Compare this to the lies the terrorists spread before they knew a citizen had filmed the entire killing!! http://rt.com/usa/181772-deadly-st-louis-shooting-video/ The description which I had heard on the news the night before, by a police officer was that the perpetrator¹ had his right arm up over his head with a knife - in the downward stabbing position - and charged at the cop (and he raised up his own arm > and totally acted out the scenario) The video shows nothing like that. One shot in the leg would have apprehended - but instead, 8 or 9 Automatic rounds were used, much like an execution in Vietnam or in Syria, or like the deliberate putting down of a rabid dog. More and more cops are becoming increasingly addicted to bullying and slaughtering American citizens; and they are in massive denial about that. >>>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>> >> > > All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. - Gandalf
