How long until antifa come to riot in that city

Trying to 'flee on foot' right !? 🤣🤡☠️

serious....so sad

He was on his last leg of luck.

Maybe don’t try to stab someone , run sorry… hop away, and carrying a knife. Dangerous to the public. Seems like he didn’t learn his lesson his last encounter

On Foot?

If you just stabbed someone and the cops tell you to drop the knife, you really should drop the knife. You’re armed, and you have proven that you are a danger to others.

Well Biden would say , “Why didn’t they just shoot him in the legs “…..🤨

Whoops

Has the claim that the cops wanted to arrest him for stabbing someone vaporized, or was that made up?

How sick is American society?

Cops were not having it that day

Shouldn’t commit crimes then. 👍

Should make more effective Tasers tbh

“…he lost his legs in another encounter with police in Texas.” This is so bad it’s like a South Park clip, or an onion article. He had a knife, but shooting an amputee 10 times as he ties to run away seems a bit much.

Step one of evading arrest is to have legs 🤷‍♂️

Could have given him a running start...oh wait! 🤔

“The family told the Los Angeles Times that he had his legs amputated after a prior confrontation with police, but did not offer details” 🤦‍♂️

Guess tazers don't work anymore? I mean the guy had no legs

This is something The Onion would post..unacceptable nonetheless!

Dude got no legs.. run after him😂

Your tweet would indicate the amputee was essentially murdered. But I’m going to guess that at some point the officers felt that he had a weapon which could be used against them. if my assumption is correct, then he was looking to die. Better known these days has suicide by cop.

More fucking trauma porn with state sanctioned murder while the bad faith sports entertainers will say out of pocket shit with the same cast of characters while we talk in circles before anything is seriously done.
