NO ONE TRYING TO COVER THE BODY?
ALLOWING A DEAD BODY TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET LIKE ROADKILL????

I am outraged beyond words by this as I was last weekend when it was live on my TV here in St. Louis.

The silence from the police as they construct a bullshit cover-up is disgusting as well.
We have heard from eye-witnesses.
We have had video evidence of the aftermath.
We have seen a dead 18 year old lay in state on a city street.

We have seen complete indifference to this in this attached video for more than 10 minutes of cops milling about the area and NOT ONE OF THEM having the decency or foresight to put a cover on the body or erect a temporary barrier. THAT is a telling disregard for the humanity of the victim...NOT ONE of the MANY cops in this video do ANYTHING but stand around with their thumbs up their asses while the body of a dead teenager bleeds out into the street...UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!

We have had police attacks on civilians and reporters.
We have had paramilitary invasions of a town in the United States of America.
We have had a posthumous character assassination and "Strong Armed Robbery"
We have seen and heard so much.

What we have NOT heard is the shooting officer's report.
What we have NOT heard is ANY official details of the investigation or the rationale for the aftermath of not just the shooting, but the riot-inducing response, the lack of actual arrests, the lack of following procedure and LAW.

Until we do, and even after if this behavior persists, FUCK THA POLICE!

What disturbs me is, if his hands were raised, these shots seem to be HEAD SHOT attempts. TheBlackAdder Aug 2014 #72

I was thinking the same. All head shot attempts. harun Aug 2014 #124

The entry point on top of the head also suggests a surrender, face down position < OR that they jtuck004 Aug 2014 #149
