Cop shoots, kills man who charged him with hatchet

[Krichardson]

You*ll forgive me if don*t think our fellow citizens can*t be that stupid to think that a cop shouldn*t shoot a guy coming at him with an axe.

....apparently some here do.

I used to feel that way but I have come to realize not only how stupid our fellow citizens are but also how many of them there are.

I think you massively overestimate our fellow citizens.

Looked like the perp's meds came out of his vest and splattered all over the pavement after he got shot. The vehicle camera later in the video gives a whole outlook of the situation.

There was an incident in Lancaster 2 years ago where a man ran out of a house with a 12" chef's knife and charged at a police officer, who shot and killed him. Riots took place, and the police station was vandalized, and the only thing that shut it down was a DA who would not put up with it.

Would he be any less dead if he was ??? Was it a bad thing that he was white ???

No, but there would be massive protests because the guy wasn't armed, as Biden would say. Or was that only with a knife?

“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop, when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing. There’s a lot of different things that could change,” Biden said in a meeting with community leaders at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Del.

And that DAs and the police chief 's action was a model used to put down that rioting crap.....by going after the leaders, charge them and put a high bail....

...and then he withdrew that bail, and the only people that did any time were the homeless that joined into the riot at the end.

Not a great look that none of the officers preformed basic first aid.


But good shoot.
