A man who had posted an online video threatening to kill police and FBI agents tried to use his car to run down officers seeking to arrest him on Tuesday so, fearing for their lives, they shot and killed him, authorities said.

Police did not immediately identify the man, who was killed in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, as officers ordered him out of the car and he appeared ready to accelerate at them as they manned a blockade.

You’re not unarmed when you’re driving a car.

That would make him "an unarmed motorist", just like Rodney King.

If this attacker of the police was a “BLACK MAN”, we’re going to have another “RIOTING & PILLAGING” in that city and state. I can see the news that the Lame Stream Media will be printing. “ANOTHER UNARMED BLACK KILLED BY THE POLICE”. Jesse and Al will be renting a bus to be there in a hurry. Along with their “RENT A MOB”.

Justifiable. By trying to run down the officer, the deceased had committed attempted capital murder of a peace officer (as defined in Texas). One perp who tried to steal my truck tried running down a cop and got shot.

For some strange reason, I'm relieved.

Perps seem to forget that the police are well-trained like the military and will react to threats of harm accordingly. Stupid people.

52 yr old Joseph Pacini

>>When officers from three departments confronted Joseph A. Pacini of Clifton Heights and ordered him to get out of his car, he instead gunned his Nissan sedan into reverse and struck a police vehicle, according to Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.

several witnesses said he was holding a ham sandwich in his hand.
________________________________________________

The sandwich had mustard, lettuce,tomato, pickles, onions and olives. In other words: it was loaded.

Suicide by Cop comes in many permutations.
