The wanton shooting of African American men by white policemen in America has become a daily ritual. The Trump administration has on several occasions refused to investigate white policemen who has recklessly shot and killed African American men, women, and children.

In this latest shooting, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is investigating the shooting jointly with the police unit tasked with investigating officer-involved shootings, the agency said. Authorities said the officers were wearing body cameras. Footage has been reviewed by the mayor and police commissioner but has not been made public because it is part of an ongoing investigation.
