YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA man carrying a raised knife charged at a St. Paul police officer after rear-ending his squad car and refused repeated commands to drop the weapon before the officer fatally shot him, according to body-camera footage released Tuesday.
Officer Steve Mattson shot 31-year-old Ronald Davis on Sept. 15 in the city's Midway neighborhood, in a confrontation that unfolded in less than a minute after Mattson's marked squad SUV was hit from behind.
The death of Davis, who was black, led to a demonstration a week later by several dozen protesters who called for an end to police shootings.
"When we make mistakes, the St. Paul Police Department has a proven record of taking responsibility," Chief Todd Axtell said at a news conference. "However, this is not one of those times."
