St. Louis Chief of Police on press conference right now.

[MohRokTah]

There was an officer involved shooting. He's showing how to conduct a press conference on these things. The suspect was allegedly involved in a theft and was brandishing a knife when the officer shot the man. Claims there may be video and once they have secured any video will share. Asking if anybody has cellphone video to please share. Haven't identified the victim (and he's using the term victim). Victim said "kill me shoot me now".

It sounds like a possible suicide by cop case to me.

1. WOW. Clear, rapid, informative dissemination of information by a police chief.

Thanks for posting. I was watching it too.

What a contract between the City of St. Louis chief just now and the incompetent Archie Bunker in Ferguson.

LOVE the chief's question in response to the one reporter...

"Are you from St. Louis?"

"No."

"This is how we do it in St. Louis."

5. Yup

And I'm sure these two police officers feel real proud about nabbing and cuffing a 90 year old holocaust survivor.
