Campus is on lockdown. This is after the shooting of the dude with a knife last night who came at a police officer. Suicide by cop.

When the police cannot do their jobs, law abiding citizens assume the role.

Let’s see them protest that...

Symptomatic of much deeper issues...very little to do with the poor soul who wanted to commit suicide by cop.
Occupy/antifa/blm, call it what you want - its itching for a fight that will blow up into something bigger.

Right. Just an excuse to riot and spread lawlessness.

Shooting LGBT victim is probably 10 times worse than shooting black victim in terms of enraging people in this day and age.

Not surprised to see violence but saddened.

It should have happened in Baltimore, LA (Rodney King) etc, but it hasn’t since Kent State. The right never wants to take on the Commies, so things just get more outrageous as time goes on.

I am beyond tired of the “I’m upset, so I’ll destroy the property of others” trend that has been adopted by the millennial college students and other grievance groups.

It is a child’s temper tantrum writ large, but there seem to be a reluctance on the part of the adult generations to spank them.

He was the one who called the police reporting a man with a gun if I read the story correctly. He also left a suicide note. Cops begged him to stop walking toward them and drop what was in his hand.

Yeah, but on FR it seems if a cop has a chance to shoot a guy, if he wants them to, he should take it. But, they’ll scream bloody murder about assisted suicide.

I doubt if it’s students. It’s assholes like this who give one percent of anarchists a bad name.

You’re right, of course. But is seems that FReepers are now in favor of assisted suicide.

Correct. This, BLM and Antifa are just the sort of disorder the Kenyan Usurper wanted.

Thanks for posting that pic - that vehicle is quite destroyed. That is one serious offense there. Hope they bag him/her/them/it.

The police are more violently inclined like the ones programmed to kill LaVoy Finicum on January 26, 2016 in Oregon.

And the woman in Minneapolis who was gunned down by the police officer who reached across his partner to the opposite window to open fire.

Excuse me, but I call BS. Our cops have always shot people who came at them with knives and much quicker. This de-escalation BS that has been pushed is now starting to get officers hurt more often and it won’t be long when the definitive documentation comes out.

My fathers generation of cops did not have OC, Tasers, or body armor. The did have batons that they used liberally when it was needed.

His generation did not cry about knife wielding idiots getting shot.

I don’t look for other nations that import muslims to their own demise as a benchmark on proper police procedure.

“He also left a suicide note.”

Three, actually.

And had attempted suicide previously.

That’s what I thought too. Based on that (gag) 1 pic I saw.

But then the law abiding citizens get caught——and jailed.

Easier said than done.
