The american police release a video of the death of a suspect to silence the rumors

US authorities released monday a video showing the death of an alleged islamist shot dead by police last week in Boston, Massachusetts, to silence the rumors.
Daniel Conley, Suffolk County District Attorney assigned to investigate the legitimacy of the death of Usama Rahim, justified the distribution of this video explaining that it was for the authorities to end the "rumors and false informations".
The family of Rahim, a 26 year old security employee suspected of having planned to behead police in the name of jihad, had initially said that he was shot in the back. She could view the video last week before her funeral. She said monday in a statement posted on Facebook that the video was important "as much for what it doesn't show, for what it shows". She said the video shows that their son "doesn't violate the laws". "The video reveals part of the story but not the whole story. The video shows that the security forces fired on Rahim, but there is no visual evidence that Rahim was brandishing a knife", she says.
The images show Rahim walking to a bus stop, while police officers approach him before to deviate, Rahim then collapses to the ground. The images missing clearness were filmed tuesday, June 2 by a security camera of a restaurant located two blocks away from the deadly confrontation between Rahim and law enforcement.
According to police, the young man was killed after refusing to obey the instructions of police asking him to drop the knife he holded. These requests aren't audible on the video, and the knife isn't visible clearly.
"It happened very quickly. I think they (the police officers) had the right reaction", said monday William Evans, head of the Boston Police to the press.
Usama Rahim bought three military-type knives and a knife sharpener on the internet in order to "take" to the "men in blue" this week, according to court documents released wednesday. An alleged accomplice was arrested in Boston the day after his death. David Wright, 25, was charged with conspiracy to obstruct a federal investigation.
According to court documents, Rahim had "planned to launch a violent attack in the US" from May 26. After received by post the three knives, he would have fomented his plan with Wright and a third person on a beach in Rhode Island the weekend before his death.
The first idea was to behead a stranger in another state, said Wright to justice. But Rahim phoned him tuesday morning to say he changed his mind and that he "would take" more to "men in blue" by killing random Massachusetts police tuesday or wednesday. He was killed two hours later.
