Why didnt they use a Taser? the elder Wallace asked. Why didn't your son not charge a cop with a knife? And why don't I lock you in a cage with a guy with a knife and give you a Taser and a gun, and see which one you use?
"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."
Yes, it's a little known fact that Obi-Wan Kenobi actually survived his encounter with Darth Vader and now travels around the country training police departments in the Jedi mind trick.
And if attempting to murder cops with a knife was "turning his life around," I'd hate to think of what he was doing before.

Did the family call or was it a neighbor? Whoever it was, after the fact they all tell the press he wasn’t dangerous, he could be talked down.
If he was so easy to deal with, why call the cops in the first place?
If you are afraid of him, the cops feel the same way.

“...someone not obeying the legitimate commands of a police officer...”
Looks like obeying the commands of a police office is counter to BLM theology.

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 hed 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. Here's the video: Man with knife takes out several police officers in seconds. Action starts at the 1:30 mark.

I say they should drag him out of the morgue and shoot him again.

Most likely, The family called the police. If we are going to use their logic, they should be charged with murder. Maybe Walter should have had "the conversation" with his parents. You know the one, "Mom and Dad, no matter how whacked I get, even if I'm high on crack and swinging a knife at y'all. Please, just stay calm and don't call the cops!"

Paging Benny Crump! Crump is already involved. It seems families with thug children always have him on speed dial.

His mother was there and couldn’t deescalate the situation.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleadings I denied. So there’s only me to blame cause mama tried.

Lemme guess...according to the family's swamp dwelling lawyer the cop should have shot the knife out of his hand.They're gonna turn that claim into a $5 million dollar settlement and an appearance on “Ellen”.
To: Magnum44
He was turning his knife around... yeah, in the direction of the LEO.
