Michael Brown in Ferguson, then Kajieme Powell, 4 mi from Ferguson.

Why are police executing Black men in Missouri?

Are these men symbols of someone else, as well as victims of an overweening hatred some have for them?

I’d bet my next old age check that if a study was done comparing rates of these incidents every year since 2008, there would be a very distinct increase in their number every year, especially among Black victims of police violence.
