At least 30 Philadelphia cops were injured by early Tuesday as violent mobs torched squad cars and charged lines of officers in a night of carnage sparked by the police shooting of a knife-wielding man.

Organized protests gathered at a park chanting “black lives matter” soon after news broke of the 4 p.m. death of 27-year-old Walter Wallace, who was shot by police after refusing to drop a knife.

Nothing will happen to the attackers because they were protesting peacefully.

Praise GOD for Amy Coney Barrett!!!! This is HIS mercy extended...

Please, Take time to give thanks to God for this....it is ONLY His intervention that is staying judgment.....

Remember… It is not Jesus “the Lamb” that is going to return… But “the lion of the tribe of Judah…”.... The Jesus we have not seen… And no one will want to see…” all the earth will mourn because of him”…

*********

6 days to SAVE OUR REPUBLIC..

Please Christian brother and sister...PRAY RIGHT NOW...STOP what you are doing..kneel down and ask God in the name of Jesus to ‘restore America’ and protect President Trump.

You must overcome your flesh to pray saints....do it now. STOP whatever you are doing and PRAY....the longest trip you take is the one to your knees before God eternal.

Your brother, in the love of Jesus, RevelationDavid

**********************

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

**********************

2 Cor 10:3-6

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

*********************

Ephesians 6:12 KJV

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

C’mon man! We need to practice better policing, like training to just shoot him in the leg

Rioting in Philly a week before the election can only help Trump in PA.

God works in mysterious ways.

“Organized protests gathered at a park chanting “black lives matter” soon after news broke of the 4 p.m. death of 27-year-old Walter Wallace, who was shot by police after refusing to drop a knife.”

Not exactly. He was displaying the knife he was told to drop and was walking at officers who told him to stop. He refuse and kept approaching the officers at which point they defended themselves from what they determined to be an attack by Wallace. All he had to do was drop the knife. All he had to do was stop coming at the cops with the knife. If he had done either or both, he wouldn’t have been a threat. And this is another misinterpreted situation that is costing lives by stupid people.

I watched the videos on Breitbart earlier and it is long past time to put these rabid dogs down, but I think rounding them up and shipping them to Syria would be fine also

Folks in the Philly suburbs are paying attention.

They don’t want BLM or Antifa knocking on their door—and they do not want Section 8 next door.

The President should improve over his 2016 numbers in the Philly suburbs.

Another city run by a Democrat mayor, with a police department headed by a Black Woman.

So of course the shooting is Trump's Fault™.

At this point, a black thug could open fire on cops with a fully-auto rifle and there’d be riots if the cops defended themselves.

What’s the over/under on the number of players on the Philadelphia Eagles football team who will be wearing a decal with the name of the knife-wielding miscreant on their helmet during their next game? I am thinking 6.

Cops know the 21 foot rule, and when a Cop says $hit you say what color Officer.

The police don’t own Beanbag Guns? Shoot & knockdown these SOB’s, take their weapons and book them for Attempted Murder.

I would like to see the ratio of cops injured to rioters injured inverted.

A riot can start anywhere. Its duration, impact and outcome are driven by local governmental priorities.

As long as local Dem governments sympathize and support riots, local cops should stand down and citizens should either defend their homes and property or relocate.

Until rioters are injured at a greater ratio than police the tugs will not stop.

Beanbag guns!?

You want to carry that bulky thing along with all the other gear?

Supposedly Tasers are the non-lethal solution for this type of situation.

But a knife at close quarters leaves very little time for acting.

I still remember many years ago grabbing the wrist and stopping a knife inches from my own body when surprised by drugged person who’d just crashed a car.Letting that person close could have been my last mistake as an officer.

Approaching with knife held threatening is asking to be shot.

The Mayor says the video of the shooting presents “difficult questions” that must be answered by an “investigation.” The only “difficult” question is how will the Mayor and the DA spin the video to blame the cops?
