Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer The video shows laquan walking southbound down the middle of pulaksi
There are squad cars visible in front of him and also squad cars behind him
The shooter's squad car is visible as it drives past laquan
Two officers then exit that vehicle with their guns drawn
At that point laquan begins to look away from the officers
At a southwest angle toward the sidewalk
When laquan is about 12 to 15 feet away from the officers
The width of an entire lane of the southbound traffic
One officer begins shooting
Laquan immediately spins to the ground And the video clearly shows that the officer continues to shoot laquan
Multiple times
As he lays in the street 16 seconds pass From the time laquan hits the ground
Until the last visible puff of smoke rises from his torso area
An officer then approaches laquan
Stands over him and appears to shout something As he kicks the knife out of his hand
