Demonstrators gathered to protest the death of Ricardo Munoz, who was shot and killed by an officer in Lancaster, Pa., over the weekend. Footage of the incident was released Sunday.

The chaotic scene was sparked by the shooting death of Munoz, which took place a little after 4 p.m. Sunday.

The police video, which is just a few minutes long and is edited, shows an officer walking along the 300 block of Laurel Street. The video then features two still images. The first freezes the video to show the man with what appears to be a metal object in his right hand above his head. The other shows the man on the ground, face down, with the object a few feet in front of him.

The Lancaster County District Attorney's office said it will make that determination after the probe into the matter is complete.

This sounds terrible. Why did the cops murder him?

Umm, huh... new headline 'Crazy man unleashed full on rage fest at Police officer shot while whealding butcher knife'. You're welcome. npristrash

You know who else was shot and killed over the weekend?

He attacked cops with a knife. What time kind of valid protest is that.

It’s so sad what NPR has become.

Wasn’t that the guy that chased the cop with the 12 inch blade, so the cop shot him? If that’s him I don’t know why you don’t put that in your headline.

Keep defending the crazy knife wielding black man, it’s a good look for you

Where is the footage of the person who ambushed 2 cops? Where is your reporting on that!!

Maybe they could’ve protested Munoz beating his wife and threatening her with a knife

OMG NPR. You deliberately mislead in this article by not mentioning he was armed with a knife and charging at the officer. defundnpr

Isn’t that what 45 wants...isn’t that what Lancaster, PA want!!!

'Don't bring a knife...'

Protesting the death of this man is actually, 100%, with zero room for nuance, full-fledged retardation.

Here, I fixed it: Demonstrators gathered to protest the death of Ricardo Munoz, who was shot and killed whilst charging at officer full speed, wielding a butcher knife in Lancaster, Pa. Here is the footage, see for yourself.

Free Assange

He probably should have been in a state hospital. Chasing people with knives isn’t normal.

This is an easy one. Watch the video. It was a good shoot. Now...who wants to be the first idiot to mention tasers or shooting weapons out of people hands...or shooting him in the legs!?! 😂😂😂

“Demonstrators”

Didn’t the guy have a knife?

So people protest the shit out of everything, about something which is justified. This plays perfectly into Trumps hands. Trump will win not just because he is a hate monger, but America is tired of bullshit like protests like this.

Demonstrators gathered to protest the death of Ricardo Munoz, who was shot and killed by an officer in Lancaster, Pa. * after he charged at a police officer with a knife. He also stabbed four people last year * Footage of the incident was released Sunday.

Protests are fine. But what exactly are police supposed to do when a crazy idiot attacks them with a knife?

he was attacking the officer with a huge knife. the officer CLEARLY acted in self defense. It was a tragic situation, but please add a bit more context to you tweet please..

Back the blue. Terrorism needs to be called out. I call out police brutality, but not all police are bad people!

How unlike you to leave the key details out of your headline.
