Wallace's aunt, who identified herself only as Sandy, told Fox News that her nephew had recently gotten married and had several children, ages 5, 7 and 8.
"He was turning his life around," she said. "They could have talked to him and calmed him down because I'm quite sure that's part of their training."
Rodney Everett, Wallace's uncle, said the officers could have used other tactics to de-escalate the situation.

A while back I came across raw video of a man in South America armed with a knife, 6 or 7 police offices, some armed with rifles surrounded him trying to talk to him. In a matter of just a few seconds he’d killed two or three of the police, injuring a couple of others before one of the officers managed to shoot him dead. Horrifying. A man with a knife is very dangerous indeed.
So is it my imagination because from looking at the video of the shooting, he acted like he was high on something. I blame the social workers that didn’t show up and offer him a bouquet of flowers and have a conversation with him.
Next up a lawsuit for unnecessary roughness.
Cops passed the Tueller Drill.
The media cherry picks emotional family members and others in a community who have bias anyway. Most people of any background simply think good riddance to trash. All of these martyrs that the left push have a death wish one way or another by substance abuse,sever mental disorder and anti-societal behavior. It is insulting to think blacks with any sense think this behavior is normal. If black lives really mattered,blacks would do more before tragic instances come to this. BTW,I have been witness to many Philly flash mobs. They give zero fvks for another black.

Filthadelphia, as it is called here in PA, is the anus of PA.
The vast majority of the state is rural and solid Conservative, except for that city.
If we could only forcibly annex it to New Jersey...
His own mother was trying to “talk him down.” If he wouldn’t listen to her, what makes anyone think he’d listen to two white cops?
The cops had their firearms drawn. After that, it’s on the assailant now to comply...
So the family called the cops to defend them from their out of control family member and now that they defended them, the family is looking forward to a payday from the cops.And white cops respond to these calls from the ghetto when they can be stopping jaywalkers why?
You should have taught him to listen to the police, when they say “drop the knife”, you drop the stupid knife, you don’t approach them.
A family of complete idiots.
Get so tired of hearing “he was turning his life around”, based on what? approaching cops with a knife and refusing to obey their commands to drop it?
So another false martyr has been created, these folks lift up the stupidest people.
Police have no duty to consume a few or 27 knife strokes prior to discharging a firearm at the assaulting party.
When someone is coming at you with a knife, there is very little to be said. "Drop the knife! Drop the knife! BANG BANG BANG!
I wish it was.
“He was turning his life around,”
Translation: He hasn’t attacked anyone in a week
Don’t bring a knife to gun fight. Stupid Schiff negro. Sorry for being redundant
SPJNK.
Most likely, The family called the police. If we are going to use their logic, they should be charged with murder.
Listen here Auntie! Your nephew behaved poorly! Did you teach him to act like a barbarian? How stupid are you? You disgust me! Your nephew attacked an armed officer! What the hell did you expect? His death is your family’s fault! You and your family should be held responsible for the riots and looting that took place!
I will not apologize for my rant! Teach your kids to behave well and not to attack the police! Damn fools.
More than likely they were never expected to be responsible or educated or the list goes on
