Vic Mensa - 16 Shots lyrics

[Verse 1] Ready for the war we got our boots strapped 100 deep on Stage Street Where the troops at? The mayor lying saying he didn't see the video footage And everybody want to know where the truth at On the South side where it's no trauma centers, but the most trauma A lot of cannons but you don't want no drama I can't imagine if it was my own mama Got her first born son stole from her, he never had a chance And we all know its cause he black Shot 'em 16 times, how f**ed up is that? Now the police superintendent wanna double back Cops speeding up to the block like a runnin' back Tension is high, man these n***as is irate You can see it in they eyes, they wanna violate Screaming out "Oink!

There are squad cars visible in front of him and also squadcars behind him. The dash cam video is from one of the responding units which was trailing Laquan approximately 20 to 25 feet behind him. The shooter's squad car is visible as it drives past Laquan and parks in the middle of Pulaski behind another squad car. Two officers then exit that vehicle with their guns draw. At that point, Laquan begins to walk away from the officers on a southwest angle towards the sidewalk. What Laquan is about 12 to 15 feet away from the officers, the width of an entire lane of the southbound traffic, one officer begins shooting. Laquan immediately spins to the ground and the video then shows that the officer continues to shoot Laquan multiple times as he lays in the street. 16 seconds pa** from the time Laquan hits the ground until the last visible puff of smoke rises from his torso area. An officer then approaches Laquan, stands over him and appears to shout something as he kicks the knife out of his hand
