[WhoIsNumberNone]

"Three officers unloaded a volley of 17 bullets at Antonio Zambrano-Montes, of which “five to six” struck the unarmed Mexican national during a fatal encounter with police in Pasco, Washington, the police unit investigating his death has revealed.

Zambrano-Montes was killed on the evening of 10 February at a busy intersection in the majority Hispanic city. Video footage of the incident, uploaded to YouTube and viewed more than a million times, shows Zambrano-Montes running away from three officers, at one point raising his arms, before he turns to them and is gunned down.

Pasco police say the 35-year-old had been throwing rocks at traffic and at officers who were responding to a 911 call and had attempted to subdue Zambrano-Montes with a Taser. The Special Investigative Unit, comprising 15 officers from neighbouring police jurisdictions, said in a statement on Wednesday that none of the bullets struck Zambrano-Montes from behind but added that a medical examiner’s report was not yet complete and could take a further four weeks."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur & John Iadarola break it down.

1. I am so sick and tired of cops killing people

Why is it that white serial killers can be caught unharmed but people of color are always killed, shot at enough times to murder multiple people.

Fuck this bullshit! We have to end this
