Today the ACLU is presenting this video at a conference about racial disparities in the US criminal justice system before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which is part of the Organization of American States. The surfacing of the graphic video comes at a particularly sensitive time in the US, where the nation is still grappling with the killing of 18 year-old African-American Michael Brown, who was shot by a white police officer in August in Ferguson, Missouri, sparking days of protests and violence that continues to simmer.

It shows a mentally ill homeless black man with a penknife being shot at 46 times (hit 14) by eight white police officers at a safe distance (and with a police dog) in Saginaw, Michigan, two years ago.

How do those officers live with themselves? What could possible be going on in their heads to do that? And where the hell did those other 32 shots end up???
And we're worried about terrorists???
