Grand Rapids police shot unarmed black man in back of head while on top of back.

Grand Rapids cop shot and killed an unarmed black man while on top of his back during a scuffle on the ground. 3rd party cellphone camera shows the shooting clearly, with the cop struggling with the face down man before drawing his pistol and firing a single shot to the head.

Quote:

They struggle, and the officer can be heard telling Lyoya to "stop" and to "let go of the Taser."

After a couple of minutes, the officer is lying on top of Lyoya, who is face down on the ground, still yelling for him to "let go of the Taser," and proceeds to shoot him.

The Grand Rapids police officer shot Lyoya, a 26-year-old Congolese refugee, near the intersection of Nelson Avenue and Griggs Street on April 4.

The police officer has not been named.

At Wednesday's news conference, city manager Mark Washington said the city is "determined to get this right … our community deserves answers.”

Hundreds of protesters have since swarmed the streets, calling for accountability and justice for Lyoya.

Video shows our killer cop make no attempt to render aid, not that it would have made any difference.
