A riot has erupted in Philadelphia after a black male was shot by police after charging at officers with a knife.
The shooting took place shortly before 5 p.m. on Monday, and footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media.
The man, Walter Wallace, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Officers ordered him several times to drop the weapon, Philadelphia Police Sergeant Eric Gripp said. He did not do so.

He should call for calm with a promise if he is given the opportunity their voices will be heard by him and his administration, and action will be taken to resolve these problems.
Democrat-Run City, Democrat-Run State.
meh enough pandering. if someone charges a cop with a knife that’s a legit reason to use deadly force. there is ZERO reason to riot and ZERO reason to offer some olive branch to these (mostly white antifa and blm) rioters.
What is wrong with these police? Why don’t they just stand there and let the lunatic stab them? Then there would be no riots.
Is this the one that stabbed his mother?
Is there anybody left in Philadelphia to vote on election day? That is a very smart move and would seal the deal over there.
maybe not in such exact words but he has reached out to the black community and their leaders many times and that’s why I think he might get 17 or 18% of the Black vote.
I would be thrilled to see higher but I will take 18% and still be thrilled
When does the world change from riot to something else. When did the Germans go from rioting to invading :-)
burning and destroying and looting and killing and even taking territory used to be called going to war.
They should have shot him in the big toe.
black folks complain about a ‘disproportionate number of black people gettign arrested’
Yeah? Well, when cops justifiably shoot a black person, and crowds of black folks riot- committing crimes, and get arrested, then there’s your answer right there for why more black folks get arrested- especially in predominately black neighborhoods
If ya don’t wanna keep going to prison, then stop acting like thugs when cops JUSTIFIABLY shoot a rampaging subject who is armed and dangerous-
Oh, one of pedo Joe’s unarmed guy with a knife again eh? How come they didn’t shoot him in the leg? Or simply shoot the knife out of his hand.
What is wrong with these police? Why dont they just stand there and let the lunatic stab them? Then there would be no riots.
Or why aren’t they listening to Sleepy Joe and aiming for the legs. Come on, man!
The looting has began, big time.
FREEDOM!
No, wait, that was William Wallace.
Live stream of looting and vandalism right now.

What is political election but pandering.
Trump should be prepared for this anyway, must have known this was going to happen with the positive momentum he has had lately.
great question- Yes- we did used to call it going to war- now we call it political correctness to ‘stand down while being invaded’ I guess
When they decided to go into someone else’s country instead of destroying their own. Going into someone else’s territory is rather a critical part of ‘invading’.
Why were the police involved at all? Oh. Right. It was after 5 o’clock. All the social workers were off.
After election day, it’s time to thin the herd.
Declare loitering people causing problems to be classified
as a riot. Then start using live ammo.
These people have gotten a free ride long enough.
Maybe they will burn and loot the warehouse full of extra Democrat ballots? :)
