Cops Kill Another Young Black Man, Just Two Miles From Michael Brown Shooting
As tension in Ferguson, Missouri shows no sign of dissipating after over a week of clashes between authorities and protesters, another black man in the St. Louis area has been killed by police.
St. Louis police said today that a 23-year-old man wielding a knife was shot and killed by two officers responding to calls about a convenience store robbery. The man had stolen energy drinks and pastry from the convenience store and was pacing around in front of the store when officers arrived, according to police and witnesses.
When confronted with police, the man reportedly told officers to "shoot me now, kill me now" repeatedly.
