#taylorlowery #news #crime #policeshooting #lawenforcement ‘He Tried to Attack Us with a Knife’: Kansas Police Caught Lying After Bodycam Footage Shows Officers Shot Black Man 34 Times—Holding Only a Wrench The footage shows Lowery was only holding a wrench and was backing away from officers when they opened fire, shooting him 34 times on Oct. 13, 2022, leaving him with 41 bullet wounds because some of the bullets left multiple injuries. It was only after the 33-year-old man lay dying in front of a gas station that they realized he was holding a wrench, not a knife – which was lying only inches away from the cops as they opened fire. Nevertheless, a Topeka police officer lied to Lowery’s sister when she showed up at the scene, distraught and crying over the shooting death of her brother. “He tried to attack us with that knife,” the cop told her. And Topeka police and city attorneys maintained that false narrative for more than two years, along with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Shawnee County District Attorney’s Office, refusing to release the body camera footage under the guise that “it is not in the public’s interest” to view the video. It was not until a federal magistrate judge ordered the release of the footage in December as part of a wrongful death lawsuit filed in August that the family was able to release the videos to the media, exposing the lies that the government had dished out for more than two years.
