California cops shoot dead double amputee, 36, as he tries to run away from them on his stumps: Police department says officers feared he was going to 'throw his knife at them'

Handcuffed and trying to throw a knife? just how is that done?

Gestapo storm troopers.

So brave /s

Desensitized in their training. Training designed to make them agents of the state against the public.

Don’t trust any of them. Don’t call them expecting help.

[PGR88]

It’s impossible to believe these killings aren’t being done on purpose. It’s almost as if some invisible force is trying to destroy policing.

We're a big country. 350 million people. We have a lot of drugs, criminality and chaos in our cities and towns

so because of sheer numbers, these police-interactions-gone-wrong, even though extremely small in number - happen every day.

So its really just if media and politicians want to turn them into an issue.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#17: "Even worse, an amputee of color."

Or as they are better known AOC.

[metmom]

They claim it was an unprovoked stabbing.

[shotgun]

Per the Libs and Joe, if they want cops to be trained to shoot the perps in the legs, what were they supposed to do in a situation like this?

[gitmo]

They shot a dead double amputee?

They’re easier to hit that way. Double amputees that are moving are more difficult to shoot. It’s all in the police manual.

[gitmo]

Good point.

[NorthMountain]

They claim

Good point. Claims made by the Blue Gang aren't to be taken as "gospel".

[Freedom4US]

No, that isn’t what’s happening, that isn’t the plan. Not one bit.

Very generally they will do everything to destroy local policing, and presumably elected Sheriffs. “DeFund the Police” isn’t what they have in mind. That’s why they come down like a ton of bricks on anyone “taking the law into their own hands” when they can, in leftist democrat style blue shithole districts.

They want to federalize the local police agencies. Keep that in mind. That’s what the “Night of the Long Knives” was about, for example. After that, the entire police was under complete control.

[NorthMountain]

Just caught something else:

and was trying to run away from two officers.

Meanwhile, we peons are told that we can't shoot a fleeing felon that we just witnessed commit a violent crime. If the criminal is fleeing, we're piously told, we're no longer in fear for our lives and shooting is unjustified.

[shotgun]

Maybe he had a warrant out for his arrest from the Philadelphia PD?

[metmom]

Yup. Shooting them in the back is treated as murder.

And if he was fleeing them, I doubt his front was facing them.

[glennaro]

They don’t know where the bullets are going. On more than one video I’ve heard dozens of shots from a group of cops emptying their clips with only a couple actually hitting the perp.

[BradyLS]

Wearing layers of clothes might deflect them?

[Captain Compassion]

Guess they couldn’t shoot him in the leg as per Biden’s recommendation.

[ansel12]

I almost get it, but it’s missing something.

[aquila48]

The visuals of this don’t look good.

This could end up being as bad as the knee on the neck of a dying Saint George Floyd.

I’m sure Anthony Lowe will soon be canonized and become the latest to join the panoply of Black Thug sainthood.

And billions will be handed out to BLM and the grieving family.

[drSteve78]

Here we go again.

Idiots abide.

[sonova]

And they could’ve just shot him in the leg. Oh wait..

[OKSooner]

Oh man.

Cold, cold.

You win.
