This is my pistol. This is my gun. This one’s for pleasure. This is for shooting naked guys who chase me.

“Quannell X?” Is Tom Wolfe writing another satire?

"The male is undressed completely, turns around and starts chasing the officer," Abad said. "The officer at this time begins retreating and as he is running backward, as he is retreating and seeing the guy come at him, he discharges 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?

The officer's Taser had no effect on Smith, Abad said.

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.

Suicide by cop.

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.

Do you think I could call this newspaper and say I am an "activist" and I have details from an eyewitness?

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.

It's getting to the point where all American police officers will one day be required to wear headcams at all times, as mandated by City insurers and attorneys, just to defend themselves and their actions against the endless litigation brought forth by politically-motivated and usually racist 'activists'. 

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.

'Smile, you're on camera!' Police to get 'head-cams' News This is London

head cam

The 'head-cams' can store up to 400 hours of footage with soundtrack on their hard drive

 

head cam

Each unit costs around £1,700

The family protests the shooting by forming a human sandwich.

Seems to rule out Smith having a concealed weapon.

35+ years ago Dirty Harry dealt with nakedness.....

Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That’s my policy.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher’s knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross!
[walks out of the room]
The Mayor: He’s got a point.
