April 20, 2015 Missouri: Police Kill Black Man with Knife After Mom Calls for Help -------------------------------------------------------------------- Police in St. Louis County, Missouri, shot and killed a 23-year-old African-American man after his mother called them for help. Police say Thaddeus Mc Carroll emerged from his house with a knife and charged at them, after his mother reported he was behaving abnormally and talking about a "black revolution." Audio from a police body camera shows Mc Carroll repeatedly asking the police to go, saying he is "pissed off because you guys won't leave me alone." Police fired a rubber bullet, then, seconds later, opened fire with an automatic weapon.
