Do you have any new info on Martyrdom?

Only ignorant white people, or blacks who have never lived in a black neighborhood would state such dumb remarks. It’s apparent this young man had issues. No one truly knows what his issues were. Now, being an African American my take from the video would be that he put down the items as to say yeah I took it. Next as far as charging the police. I think that was mental part of him trying to be brave, and arrogant not knowing his fate. I doubt he wanted to be killed. Also, if you have a high tech computer you can see he was not holding a knife, nor a gun. The knife was in his pocket and you can see the police take it from out of his pocket. You people are just stupid. The camera man was just as shocked; to the point he did not know how to react. I would have reacted in the same way as in disbelief that this just happened in front of me. It would be hard for me to believeladybug hughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424417891994774207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-86649957247199263632014-08-28T22:38:52.539-04:002014-08-28T22:38:52.539-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ladybug hughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424417891994774207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-17959519549813115112014-08-26T15:51:21.631-04:002014-08-26T15:51:21.631-04:00Tadams,you may be right but why do you think so?

His birth name appears to be Antoine Powell. Not sure if this has been discovered by others.<br /><br />FB site - https://www.facebook.com/antoine.powell2<br /><br />A comment left by one of his friends on Aug 21:<br /><br />"Toy Toy Wright: R.I.P Kajieme I will always remember the good conversations we had about religion, politics, injustices past n present. I always thought U had a good grasp on whats going on to be so young. I always believed that u would go into politics. Sleep in peace brother.<br /><br />August 21 at 4:30pm"<br /><br />In looking at this young man's public FB content, he does not come across as someone with a mental illness. He was a curious young man and a world traveller. He had an interest in politics, civil rights, and in the fervor following Ferguson, I believe he set out to make a statement, sadly a fatal one.<br /><br />He shoplifted the convenience store twice (as the first seemingly went unnoticed by the owner, or didn't achieve the outcome of the police being called). He set the items on the curb and, pacing, waited for the police to arrive.<br /><br />An individual in the phone recording can be heard saying "Brother, this ain't how you do it, bro."<br /><br />When the police drew their weapons, he noticed that the line of fire included the bystanders behind him. He changed positions and continued advancing.<br /><br />It's obvious to me, Kajieme had a plan, likely born out of frustration with the current events.tadams0620https://www.blogger.com/profile/15203014143402757709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-10279553680648420512014-08-26T08:23:07.153-04:002014-08-26T08:23:07.153-04:00D.

You make some interesting points, that some things in that video are just "off", but I can't put together what you are trying to say. What is your conclusion? Was the filmmaker, along with maybe some of the other people who appear in the video, working with the police? Was Kajieme Powell shot with rubber bullets, and therefore not really dead? Where's his autopsy? What was the purpose of this video, if it is not what it seems? Did the police stage all of it, and if so for what purpose? I can't figure out how to put all of what you are saying together. What are you proposing that it all means, if staged? Who's behind it? My head hurts now. This sounds like conspiracy theory stuff, but watch D.B.'s videos and you will see he has lots of valid points, especially NO BLOOD and some of the things the filmer and bystanders are saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-44763805379068084032014-08-26T01:38:41.954-04:002014-08-26T01:38:41.954-04:00I made a detailed analysis of the cell phone video...I made a detailed analysis of the cell phone video of the killing of Kajieme Powell, please watch. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNJXJtFLO_8D.Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-19116460954229436692014-08-25T19:16:34.111-04:002014-08-25T19:16:34.111-04:00Not only has this story been left behind, tonight ...Not only has this story been left behind, tonight Dianne Sawyer referred to the Michael Brown killing as 'young man shot in broad daylight' and omitted his being an unarmed teenager shot six times.<br /><br />Later, her on the scene reporter stated that people are seeking justice for 'both young men involved in this shooting' equivocating the suffering of the policeman with that of his victim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-43856172322873896772014-08-23T14:21:29.230-04:002014-08-23T14:21:29.230-04:00And the conspiracy theories rear their head.

And okay, here's another observation: the cellphone videotaper starts out by verbally indicating that he was called to the scene, that he knew what was getting ready to go down. It doesn't help that he seems not a bit surprised when the police start firing on Powell. I haven't seen any interviews of that guy. When I first saw the video, in the hour after it was posted online, I thought that Kajieme Powell had basically martyred himself (NOT suicide by cop). But some of the other available details are making me wonder if it was some kind of a set up. I'm going to review the footage again, because another detail I remember is hearing a woman's voice, off-camera, saying something about rubber bullets. I'm just trying to mention things here that I haven't been seeing widely addressed.Mammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190888988198012271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290152190457552426.post-92160257299345202442014-08-22T15:13:20.371-04:002014-08-22T15:13:20.371-04:00Antonio French is so wrong about this.

St Louis may choose not to discipline and prosecute these officers, but without a doubt, the Powell family will initiate proceedings and the City will settle without a trial. These officers are culpable, at the very least, of LYING in their official report. There is just no argument that Powell posed any risk to them. To claim they feared for their lives???
