Just 4 miles from #Ferguson , where Michael Brown was executed, another young man, Kajieme Powell, was shot by police, in what I believe was a form of self immolation, similar to the one by Mohamed Bouazizi, a Tunisian street vendor that set himself on fire in protest and set off events that led to the Arab Spring in #Egypt.. Kajieme Powell appears to me, from the video posted below, to be committing suicide in a manner similar to what he may have interpreted as the Michael Brown situation (possibly in protest?). However he also appeared to be ready to martyr himself from the outset.. I realize that is a lot of conjecture, however I believe if you watch the video, you will see what I mean.. There will of course be the usual divide of he deserved it or the police could have used non lethal force - and Im sure that will be a great debate.. But before that.. pay attention to the callousness of the police.. The absolute disregard for human life. Not one shows a bit of compassion.. Not one tries to save a life that they swore to protect... They dont even ask to talk to witnesses, because they feel they need none... From #Gaza to #fFeguson #WeAre1 https://youtube/watch?v=6ta2-7QJM78 *had to update this post with new video- old one would not link
