First video of Seattle cop executing an innocent woodcarver

For the first time, dashcam video of the Seattle Police executing an innocent man has been released.

The shuffling, harmless, homeless woodcarver had less than seven seconds from first contact to his body being riddled with bullets.

Half-deaf man murdered by cops was walking away from his executioner

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com

On August 30, Seattle Police Ofc. Ian Burk murdered John T. Williams for holding a legally-sized whittling knife. Williams was a half-deaf Native American woodcarver who was also wearing headphones at the time. Birk claimed Williams refused to drop the legally-sized knife and approached him, but just-released autopsy results show Williams was in fact walking away from his executioner at the time he was shot. Police video of the incident still has not been released.
