White Policeman Kills Unarmed Black Man in Arizona


Rumain Brisbon, middle, was shot dead in Arizona by a white policeman. 

Los Angeles: A white police officer shot dead a black man in Arizona when he mistook some pills for a gun, authorities said on Thursday, amid protests in New York triggered by a string of similar incidents.

The officer believed the 34-year-old suspect was reaching into his pocket for a gun in the flashpoint on Wednesday in Phoenix, in which the man was shot twice in the chest after a struggle.

It was subsequently found that Rumain Brisbon had only pills in his pocket.

The shooting occurred when the officer went to investigate reported drug-related activity outside a convenience store.
