This is my pistol. This is my gun. This one’s for pleasure. This is for shooting naked guys who chase me.
One could say the cop saw through this guy’s disguise.
The Naked and the Dead.
“Quannell X?” Is Tom Wolfe writing another satire?
“Activist Quanell X”
That’s where I stopped reading....
So the naked guy, how big was his weapon?
If the perp had been a female, the cop probably would have wrestled her to the ground.
It’s looking like a slow weekend. Where will “Quannell X” be holding the rally?
I should have the T-shirts ready by tomorrow afternoon. Does anyone have Malik Zulu Shabazz on speed dial?
One person called Quannell a Nubian Goddess!
Both above were from comments at the story source.
That's a good indication that the guy was on some heavy drugs, very possibly PCP. People in this condition are extremely dangerous. They don't feel pain and have tremendous strength. A lot of people will be on the cop's case for discharging his weapon, but I'm thinking he did the right thing.
Naked bad guys are really bad news. I heard of some PD somewhere that was developing something like a net to subdue people like this guy. It's sad, but guys taking their clothes off in situation like this -- death is a high probability.
It’s the crawl at the bottom of the screen that really makes the picture.
Further,Police account disputed Family members and others at the scene questioned the version of events Abad related to reporters. What the hell does this mean?
Coroner’s report will tell a lot. Smith had to be jacked up pretty high on something to act like that.
When hysterical and agenda-driven activists can take video, edit it out of context, and then endlessly replay it on national TV with the enthusiastic support and complicity of an adoring Leftist media 'culture'; and when this has the effect of swaying juries against law enforcement, police will soon have no choice in the matter if their side is to be given any credence in today's rabidly litigious and nonsensical environment.

Quanell X
(born Quanell Jefferson Evans on December 7, 1970 in Los Angeles, California) is a member of the New Black Panther Party and a community activist in Houston, Texas. His parents were both Nation of Islam members from Los Angeles. After his parents’ divorce, Quanell moved to Houston with his mother and younger brother.
Quanell was a drug dealer in the Sunnyside community of south Houston, Texas.[1]. In May 1989, Quanell spent a brief time in jail and received 10 years probation for possessing and dealing crack cocaine. It was during this time that Quanell had a life changing conversion and decided he would devote his life to the betterment of African-Americans in Houston. Once a “young street thug” according to himself, Quanell polished up his image to set a better role model for the people he leads. He always appears in a suit and tie to show young Black men that it is important to be respectable and to command respect in appearance. Quanell is a skilled speaker and also began to use his skills in oratory to help lead his organization.
In September 1990, Quanell was inspired by a Louis Farrakhan speech at Sam Houston Coliseum, and joined the Nation of Islam. The newly dubbed Quanell X rose quickly to become a spokesman in the organization.[2] In July 1992, Quanell found his brother Quinten dead in his apartment with three others, all with bullets to their heads. It was here that he met State Representative Ron Wilson (D-Houston).[3] Quanell was kicked out of the Nation of Islam for publicly inciting violence with his televised, and highly publicized, exhortation to Houston-area blacks that “[i]f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks.”[4][5]
Quanell joined the New Black Panther Party under the leadership of Khalid Abdul Muhammad.[6] In June 2004, Quanell was charged with evading arrest. He was on the phone with Executive Assistant Chief Charles A. McClelland of the Houston Police Department when arranging the surrender of cop shooter Derrick Forney. Quanell was convicted on a lesser charge of ‘running from a police officer’, a class-B misdemeanor in the State of Texas; on December 1, 2006, the State of Texas First Court of Appeals overturned the conviction. The term high-tech lynching has been used to describe this event.[citation needed] Quanell X is credited with helping officers in the March 2007 murder investigation of Texas A&M University student Tynesha Stewart.[7] He helped obtain a confession from Timothy Wayne Shepherd, the suspect in the murder.[8] He also criticized the Harris County sheriff’s decision not to search for Stewart’s body in an Humble, Texas area landfill.[9][2]
maybe naked guy found the officer kinda attractive
What, did his Dad forget about all those drug charges? and the fact that his drug addictions and problems could have led to this?
It's too bad for those who cared for this man, but a guy doped up on PCP or something similar can kill you with his bare hands.
