An off-duty police officer fatally shot a man who was trying to enter his St. Louis-area home late Saturday afternoon, Missouri officials say. According to police, 20-year-old Tyler Gebhard rang the doorbell at the officers Lakeshire, Mo., home shortly before 6 p.m. When the officers wife answered the door and refused entry, police said, Gebhard, a former high school football star, threw a 50-pound concrete planter through a rear window and attempted to enter. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said Gebhard was shot twice in the chest by the officer, whose name was not released. Gebhard, who was known to the officers family, was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
just goes to show that #ConcreteBlocksMatter ...
I now view these events in terms of body count.
We won this one.
This is a Yahoo article. As such, only a precursory glance will unveil the Yahooishness.
“Gebhards uncle, Patrick Brogan, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that his nephew had become acquainted with the officer through a church connection and that the two had been arguing on Facebook about Black Lives Matter.
Brogan added that Gebhard, who was biracial, suffered from bipolar disorder.
Tyler was going over to fight, Brogan said. When he got there he was met with a gun and the guy killed him.
“
Bi-racial. That’s important to the story now. (And they say WE’RE starting a race war?)
Met at church.
Bipolar.
This is like everything they want rolled into one. Now, to actively vilify the cop.
I’m willing to bet someone will print something about the cop molesting a child to destroy that officer’s life and credibility. It’ll be disproven, but too late and on page 6.
This is the clear outline of how the media destroys the country.
Those who have contempt for the USA and individual liberty just want to tear it down. They are stirring up the hatred and violence. Wait until the conventions to see what they have planned there.
The source article says “bi-racial”. Sort of like the pretender at 1600 PA Ave.
Actually, the dead thug was black.
Tyler Gebhard - another “gentle giant” minding his own business.
I sure wouldn’t want him showing up at MY door.
What is with these youths that have erroneous views and like the political left no tolerance for other opinions? Then the idiot begins to start breaking the law....did he think the cop would not shoot him?
Oh, great. Another dead black thug and the next thing you know, we have no right to shoot people coming into our homes via broken windows.
If Obama, had a son.... yeah, Tyler is a lesson in liberal situational ethics.
And a clear one when you don’t respect other people’s property.
Nope. Black.
Oh wait. Looks black. News media says biracial.

There’s a war in progress, I didn’t start it but I have chosen sides.
When we go to bed at night, there’s a gun on my night stand and one on my wife’s night stand, both within very easy reach.
There’s a war on. It just hasn’t arrived in your living room yet.
His life probably mattered.
Brogan added that Gebhard, who was biracial, suffered from bipolar disorder.
Tyler Gebhard
T least we get a happy ending. I was worried for a moment.
So did the "gentle giant".
Actually, I kinda hope they are. As long as the outcome is consistently like this. I mean sure, it is a little tough on planters and windows. But on the plus side we are thinning the herd, getting rid of the criminally stupid.
