Troy, NY — “Why’d you all shoot me? Why’d you all shoot me?” Dahmeek McDonald can be heard saying as he bleeds out on the street after being shot by cops for apparently no reason. The graphic video taken in the aftermath of the shooting immediately sparked an uprising in the community.
“I’m about to die,” McDonald says. “They shot me in the head.”
Onlookers watch in horror as McDonald writhes in pain on the pavement. “Get him to a hospital!” one woman yells as the expanding crowd becomes angrier.
Police claim the stop was over an alleged parole violation. According to law enforcement sources, McDonald was on probation for a drug possession charge and they were looking for him.
However, according to witnesses, there was absolutely no reason to shoot him.
