Nothing says “I’m tired of this discussion.” like a double-tap.

WTF!
These two knew each other from church, and got into an argument on Facebook about the Black Lives Matter issue. Tyler was bi-polar and had not been taking his meds, and he went out of his mind; he threatened the officer on line, then went to the house. That's when the scene got real crazy. I'm sure the officer didn't want to shoot, they were friends, after all, but Tyler was a genuine danger to himself, the officer and the family.
This is more about the dangers of mental health than anything else, but the media can't resist fanning the flames of racial divide.
The officer's family is distraught, but they know they did the right thing under the circumstances.
And the person killed was really a nice kid most of the time; a good football player, and not what you would consider a gang banger. He probably got sucked in by the race hucksters himself, and with his unwillingness to take care of himself by taking his medication, he didn't have the common sense to dismiss them.
Affton HIgh School, where Gebhard graduated from two years ago, is about 10-15% black, and they haven't had racial problems.
good way to save tax dollars
BLM got to this kid, the blood is on their hands.
Yep.....works out great for their agenda. Obamalaw and take out whitey.
Five hundred meters and the thousand, probably?
No he was biracial. Looks a bit like my adoptive son who is also biracial and not a thug.
This kid evidently was not a thug, he was dangerously mentally ill.
lol....like the bi-racial Olympic Cuban legend Alberto Juantorena (400m and 800m)

That is what a biracial man looks like. Just like my adoptive son. What did you expect him to look like? Haven’t you ever seen mixed race peoples before.
“Well, if you’re both bi-racial and bipolar, you have all the bases covered.”
Actually, you need bi-sexual for the hat trick.
And bi-sexual...

Hard to find fault with the officer’s conduct. What else could he do?
Let me be the first to say, what this Country needs is 50 Pound Concrete Planter Control, and I mean RIGHT NOW!
Someone like him can show up at my door anytime they want.Give my dogs a chance to practice on a live target.They get bored with the bite sleeves.
Most bipolars are gentle people. They run naked down the streets and are terrified by some delusion.
Some bipolars in their manic phase, have no judgment at all and are aggressive and dangerous. They can kill.
One of the reasons psychiatric hospitals are dangerous places to work
This is really the saddest part of the story, and the one that is going to be under reported.
Just as the Islamists are able to turn ordinary, passive people into radical killers, the BLM movement breaks down the common sense, and experience of a lot of susceptible and weak people; and replace it with the victimhood and persecution mindset. Those are the ones that become dangerous.
The Gentle Giant deserved to be shot and killed too.
