He spent his life terrorizing the women around him. That's not a man, that's a violent overgrown male.

Now do the part where you mention the man charged at police with a knife in the headline instead of making it seem like the police started it. I’ll wait 🍿

The family of a man w mental health issues calls for help and the result is death. Officers fired seven rounds each. The tragedy is that this story wrote itself long before this poor young man was murdered

National guard deployed for “protests” lol. You fuckers just can’t & won’t say it will you? sad bc it’s an injustice to the majority of people who are using their right to peacefully assemble & protest that you refuse to call out & differentiate the rioters in their midst!

Violent protest (looting rioting vandalizing know spreading around the city) cover up!!!!

Everything is said to be 'black discrimination', but I ignored the policeman's stillness and approached with a knife ❓ Then what ❓ The policeman should not shoot even if stabbed ❓It only looks like it's rampaging without thinking about the good or bad of things.

Violent felon awaiting trial for another violent crime, attacks police with a knife. Yeah the truth doesn’t have the same ring to it as your spin.

One thing is sure - white, black, latino, asian - all commit crimes. No matter what race. But why only black people are killed? most importantly, why are they killed when they haven’t even committed a crime? (in so many cases) 🤔

Unfortunately he charged the cops with a knife. That is a lethal weapon. But yes, they need to figure out how to neutralize people in mental crises with less lethal means. The other thing, why shoot him 12 times. One bullet should neutralize the threat.

Bad idea. This is escalation. What is wrong with this country? Have any of you read the butter battle book? Like, seriously. Cut it out!

Good. Should've happened yesterday. Don't stand down.

Riots *

“riots continue after police shot and killed Walter Wallace, a 27-year-old knife-wielding man who chased officers” more accurate headline

BITCOIN IS GOING NUTS!! It is up over $500 to $13.7k and it isn't suppose to slow down till 20k!!!! SHES A PEACH 🍑!!

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

All of you “defundNPR” lot because they didn’t say he had a knife are a striking example of the failures of American literacy... the article mentions it.... it’s called the magical process of “reading”...

Wtf?!!!

Let them burn and destroy their own neighborhoods. Then let them lie in the bed they made.

When you charge cops with a knife and ignore multiple warnings. You may get shit. This experiment won’t change. Stop burning cities down over non compliant criminals whom someone called 911 for help.

How do you leave out the part about the knife, ya hack?!

National guard ok by governor request. Barr/Prince boys, not. I’m so sorry Philly. Be safe.

No charge. How many shots? At what distance?
