's family is speaking out over his fatal shooting at the hands of police in West Philadelphia ... and one of his sons is blaming it on racism.
Walter's mother and children just broke their silence after a night of violence in that city in the wake of Monday's fatal shooting. Speaking to reporters, his oldest son choked back tears trying to explain what his father meant to him. Then he claimed it all boiled down to race -- accusing"white racist cops" of shooting his father, and raising his fist to declare"Black lives matter."
That was justice. You run at cops and others with a deadly weapon, you are going to be put down.
Justice? What kind of justice are you looking for? Your son went after two officers with a knife. They shot him. Justified. Oh well. Move on. It’s called obeying the officers orders and he failed to do that.
Then teach your kids to do what the police ask period
If they used a taser instead and he impaled himself with the knife it would be a lawsuit which the police would lose. So if someone advances with a lethal weapon cops are required to use necessary force. If we need to fix anything it’s the judicial system.
He got justice when he charged at police with a knife and refused to lay it down. Oh wait they wanted him to murder two EMT first before they shot him.
Once you come at a officer with a weapon they have the right to pull that gun don’t give them the reason
If he was white they would have found a way to subdue him. He would’ve got taken to Burger King and all of that extra shit. When I heard he had a knife I knew that’s all you cave dwellers needed to hear before you all try to justify shit. These cops are race soil sets tbh.
The guy had a knife and was not listening to the cops. Case closed...the family should pay for the damage to the city!!!!
Your son chased the police and with a deadly weapon. “Calls for justice”....no. There needs to be a call for accountability. Anyone (police included) are allowed to protect themselves for imminent danger which your son was. Sorry but that is the truth.
Oh the point of getting him help. Sorry but that wouldn’t of helped one bit, cause having family members that have mental issues, the metal health place has the cops there with them so it could of been the same outcome. But you are trained to use your tasers first, non lethal.
I am impartial to this whole situation and I’m from philly. I havnt been to philly in 7 years and yet im not afraid to walk anywhere in philly like west philly Kensington south west philly or north philly. It’s my town so I walk where I want, I don’t care if a bad neighborhood
Bunch of dopes. The guys was a professional criminal. Wouldn’t see any of this if his neighbor shot him, just Like the other 400
What could go wrong. I’m going to chase the cops with my knife and they will have to put down their guns!!! Yeah I’ll give it a shot to see what happens!! Ignorant people..
Justice= 7 figure settlement
Yeah he ran at cops with a knife I mean kinda asking to be shot
How long did it take for a Gofund me to go up regardless of him having a knife and endangering the police officers life?
Maybe you shouldn’t go towards a police officer with a weapon 🤦🏻♂️
TMZ THE RIOT STARTER
😂
Wasn't justice served?
Justice? He had a knife and attacked police! What the Hell is wrong with society?
🙈
Fuck that those cops had no choice if they are brought up on charges I think maybe I'll riot
Come On Now
Why don’t cops use the taser first? They’ll beat this one as justified. I’d probably shot also, if someone was coming towards me aggressively but, only if the taser didn’t stop them.
Hey came towards the police with a knife, which is a lethal weapon, he paid the consequences for not complying
The guy ran at them with a fuckn Knife... What did you think was going to happen?
Same ole shit , who cares at this point honestly. Nothing is gonna change
He was a felon who has a knife and was charging the law. This is what happens.
Good excuse to loot and riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guy had a knife!!The cops were backing up and telling him to drop it! Rly what were the supposed to do?If there was mental illness then don’t call the police and handle it themselves!! And here come the protests again! Rly gotta get these ppl back to work
They rubbin’ their hands together...pay day a commin’....
Crazy thought but if you think you can charge police with a knife you’ll get shot. 😳🤷🏻♂️
He had a knife, didn’t listen, got shot. End of story.
Family needs to admit it was not the officers fault but their son.
Cover the corrupt Biden story Cover the corrupt Biden story
How about he didn’t try to stab cops and dropped the weapon when he was told many times.
little kid that said that will be dead or in prison with that attitude before he’s 18. y’all shouldn’t train kids to say that.
Sure just give them a few million they called the police 3 times today why didn’t they call the crisis center and have him hospitalized
He got justice.
Hell no! They need to teach their kid not to get into it with woman and run at cops with knifes. This shit is officially pathetic. They just want a hand out. Justice was served..:
From what I’ve seen, justice was served.
That looking for 12 mil
the racists are sure out in these comments
lol if her nose is too damn big for her mask, maybe she should just stay home and calm the hell down.
He attacked police with a knife - why is this a story and why are people rioting?!!!
Justice served.
Why wasn’t a pyhcologist called? blm
Man was chasing cops with a knife what did you expect
Are they calling for people to NOT destroy their town. Looting and running over police offixers. 30 cops injured last night. That is BULL.
He was literally chasing the police officers with a knife. Justice was served!
Justice? No offense but he was literally approaching them with a knife. Wtf were they supposed to do? ☠️
Prayers 😢
MONEY GRAB!!🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💵💵🥂
He got what he deserved . Ignorant people
There I fixed it
The family should have been supervising him.
Really? Even I could see he had a knife...it was not a textbook or cell phone in his hand...
Resisting arrest with a weapon is a death wish
