A man who had posted an online video threatening to kill police and FBI agents tried to use his car to run down officers seeking to arrest him on Tuesday so, fearing for their lives, they shot and killed him, authorities said.
Police did not immediately identify the man, who was killed in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, as officers ordered him out of the car and he appeared ready to accelerate at them as they manned a blockade.

Let me guess ...
Fox just reported that at least five officers opened fire on the perp. Can’t wait to see how they spin this.
Unarmed ? D’oh
Cracker. Gotta be.
You’re not unarmed when you’re driving a car.
He was a good boy. Trying to turn his life around. They should have tried to injure him, not kill him...you know, shoot him in the let while he was in the car.
As he raised his arms and yelled, don’t shoot, the car accidentally went from reverse to drive.
Trying to rundown a cop. Smart.
Police had secured an arrest warrant for the man after he threatened to kill police and FBI agents in the online video, Chitwood said. The man’s death comes a little more than a week after a man who made similar threats shot two New York Police Department officers dead in their patrol car and then killed himself in a subway station.
Police said they began following the man after he left a home in nearby Clifton Heights. They said when officers stopped him at an intersection and ordered him out of the car, he reversed and slammed into a police vehicle and then prepared to run over other officers.

You can’t wait to see how who spins what? Al Sharpton? MSNBC?
Darby:
The racial makeup of the borough was 36.37% White, 60.00% African American, 0.14% Native American, 0.87% Asian, 0.07% Pacific Islander, 0.51% from other races, and 2.04% from two or more races.
Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.95% of the population.
They said when officers stopped him at an intersection and ordered him out of the car, he reversed and slammed into a police vehicle and then prepared to run over other officers.
Officers opened fire, killing the man, Chitwood said. The man did not fire at police, and Chitwood said he did not know if the man had a weapon.
Yeah, pretty much the same crowd. It will be considered overkill.
Now let’s not start jumping to conclusions here. Everyone knows PA is Amish country.
Don’t confuse Darby with Upper Darby. They are two separate municipalities.
Why couldn’t they just shoot the car out of his hand?
He was a good boy. Trying to turn his car around.
