(Video) The moment an American policeman killed an unarmed black man … and a new outrage on the street

A black man was killed by a white policeman in Columbus, Ohio, the second victim in a few weeks in this northern city in the United States, sparking widespread anger in a country that has witnessed since the spring a movement against police violence.
