Protests erupt after police shoot knife-wielding man who charged cop in Lancaster
New York Post ^ | September 14, 2020 | Elizabeth Rosner and Lia Eustachewich

Protesters poured onto the streets of Lancaster, Pennsylvania Sunday night calling for “justice” — for a man shot dead by police while charging at an officer with a knife.

Body camera footage showed Ricardo Munoz, 27, brandishing a knife and wielding it over an officer’s head as cops responded to a domestic disturbance around 4:15 p.m.

The blade-wielding Lancaster, Pennsylvania, man shot dead by police was previously busted in 2019 for knifing four people in the city, according to his lawyer and officials.

It was not the first time he’s been accused of a knife attack.

Protesters marched from the scene of the deadly shooting on Laurel and Union streets to the Lancaster Police Department about a mile away, hurling bricks, smashing windows and vandalizing police cars.

After the crowd gathered on an access ramp near the station, police asked them to move, issuing several warnings that “chemical munitions” would be used, PennLive.com reported.

“OC spray,” or pepper spray, was eventually deployed when the mob refused to move, police said, adding that some were “physically challenging officers that were moving to clear people from the ramp.”

Bricks were thrown through the front of the police station and post office, police said.

Cops received a 911 call to a home on the 300 block of Laurel Street in downtown Lancaster Sunday afternoon, with the caller saying her brother was getting aggressive with his mother and trying to break into her house, police said in a release.

Body cam footage, taken from the first officer on scene, captured the seconds leading up to the fatal shooting.

The video shows the officer initially making contact with a woman at the home — as Munoz suddenly bursts through the front door, charging at the officer with a knife in his right hand, police said.

This shows why there can be no infringement on the residents' (yes, even family members') right to light this guy up instead of calling someone else to deal with a deadly problem for them.

-Inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms
-Castle Doctrine
-Perp with Prior Assaults with a Deadly Weapon
-Family Matter (not court of law problem)

The Lancaster newspaper should print this photo, but will they? I emailed this to the paper's circulation dept as it was the only avenue open. Maybe the photo will shock someone there but I doubt if they will print it.

The city of Lancaster, and Lancaster county and the Amish areas are two very different places.Lancaster is just as urban as any other city in many areas.
We were there about 15 years ago. I can’t imagine what it must be like now.

Much like in Kenosha, BLM/Klantifa seem determined to do all they can to push another swing state into the Trump camp.

Kamala Harris will meet with the family members and express support for their relative.

You know she has done this in the past.

Right. Description I heard earlier today made it totally justified. You cannot permit knife or gun wielding violent people to just walk away.

So BLM supporters want defunded or deleted police forces. Then they can relax and commit crimes all day and night.

Idea: As when the guilty murderer of two people OJ Simpson was let go by a corrupt jury, the blacks said “That compensates and balances out for the previous times innocent blacks were lynched or put in prison but didn’t do it.”(Not in that elegant language I used). Obviously justice doesn’t work that way. Four speeders were let go and later one guy who didn’t speed very much over the limit is given a times as heavy a ticket.

Thus the rioters see that a guilty black was stopped so it must remind them of their past incidents and they feel justified now.

Lancaster City 55% white, 15% black, 38% Hispanic (which transcends races hence total >100)

There is no justification for arresting any “person of color” for any reason.


Well, of course there isn’t. Not after 400 years of slavery, discrimination, genocide, and white supremacy since the nation’s illegitimate founding in 1619. Haven’t you been paying attention? If he wants to stab you, he must have a good reason.

/s because sometimes no matter how over-the-top the sarcasm is, some don’t get it.

He looks peaceful to Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo. Since the knife is in his hand, and his hand is a tiny percentage of his body, he is being at least 90% peaceful

The left wants the cops to do nothing to stop or prosecute murders by blacks/browns, and instead to concentrate on arresting Whites who splash paint on BLM street paintings or who don’t wear masks.

I like to see a study comparing the number of deaths at the hands of the police, versus the number of deaths that have occurred as a result of liberal Judges, and D.A.s putting criminals back on the street, who then go on to commit murder. I bet the numbers would be alarming. It seems it happens just about every day.
