The final moments of a man shot dead by St. Louis cops

Warning: Graphic video

Incredible amateur video captured the final moments before St. Louis police on Tuesday fatally shot a knife-wielding pedestrian who refused to drop his blade.

Kajieme Powell, 25, can be heard screaming at police: “Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me now, mother f—er!”

Police bark at him to take his hands out of his pockets and then to drop his knife.

“Oh sh-t, oh sh-t, oh sh-t, they got their guns out,” the camera operator can be heard saying.

Powell refuses and moves closer to police.

After cops fire, dropping Powell, the stunned amateur videographer says: “Oh my God.”
