The PoPo should never respond to Domestic Calls.
Let BLM/Pelosi respond.
The officers were equipped to handle the situation. They had 9mms. Get over it or else.
What’s the difference between a “mental” charging you with a knife and a “normal” charging you with a knife?
Yet...in many communities, the progressive leadership has banned non-lethal officer defense tools. Rubber bullets, tasers, pepper spray, tear gas have all been banned in many liberal cities. Not saying Philly banned such, but they have been banned in other cities. So, when police officers only have a handgun, then they will use what they have if they feel threatened.
How many people should the police allow to be knifed to death before they shoot the perp? In Nice France it was three with a knife before the police got there and they plugged him.
Justice would be to shoot him all over again.
Brandishing a knife at a cop is what Chris Rock would call one of those shits you just shouldn’t do.
He’d still have gotten shot after he stabbed the social worker that the left claims would have deescalated the situation
My auditory senses could not effectuate the job so I used my ocular senses because I’s double extra serious.
Don’t send police anymore, send someone from the Mayor’s office.
Justice?
They want $$$$$$$
I bet if the cops show up in happy clown suits it would deescalate most situations. And when their rolling on calls, instead of a siren, they can play, “It’s a small world” over their loud speakers.
JUSTICE WAS DONE TO YOUR SON MA’AM.
I saw an armed criminal thug charging officers with a deadly weapon.
I hope this famliy rots in hell. they know exactly what a violent disaster of a person this guy was and they are cashing in on him.
We need to end this crap. When this stuff happens and families rake this kind of absolute lying posture they need to be run out of the city.
Fine, he’s “mental”.
Whatever.
You can make all the excuses you want for his behavior but that doesn’t stop him from being a real, tangible threat to the lives and safety of others.
And long and short of it is, he refused to follow orders and proceeded to move towards the officers with the obvious intent to do bodily harm. They had to either defend themselves or possibly be killed.
If it’s me or you, it’s not going to be me.
Shaka Johnson? Sounds like another black extortionist, anti-cop attorney who wants millions for himself and something for the family of the deceased.
Re the writer describing the killing of mentally ill Wallace as “gunned down”. NO! That’s playing the Left’s Marxist word game.
He was shot attacking the police while armed. NO TASER would have stopped him. No time for it either, esp. as he was closing in on the officers very quickly. And if it missed him or a responding body part, the officers would have very little time to pull their guns and shoot.
It was a tragic but very legitimate “shoot”.
Just another excuse for Phily’s “finest citizens” to riot and loot. Been that way for a long time and NO white or Black city official or clergyman or civic leader has the guts to say so.
Lived in Philly for 4 years and though parts of No. Philly were dangerous, it was nothing like this.
