-----SNIP----
Walter W. Wallace Jr., named after his father, also went by the artist name Whohe on YouTube, often recording rap songs about issues like gun violence and the time he spent in jail.
Since at least 2013, when he was 19, Philadelphia judges have sought to get him mental health treatment. Wallace was arrested four times that year,

Well, there’s your problem. Another failure of our mental health system which the police were victim to.

I am not 100 percent sure about how many kids he has because I don’t know if the liberal writers counted his unborn child as a kid. So he has either 7 kids with one on the way OR 8 kids with one on the way.

19 arrests * On parole for several felonies * Arrested last March for stabbing girl friend and out on $1000 bail. * 18 prior arrests * 5 different assault incidents on police. when a person is an obvious threat to others and perhaps himself he needs to be institutionalized. Now that the libs have let thousands out of the jails perhaps we could make a few wings for mentally ill people to get the care and treatment they need and protect society at the same time.

Thats real cute, mentioning his being a father of 8 as if he’s the patriarch of a large Catholic family or something when its more like sperm donor to 8 different females. Yet another saintly respectable black man just minding his bidniss when the rayciss white police hunted him down and shot him for no reason at all, with nary a fear that the hammer might drop on their lives and livelihoods, to say nothing of their freedom.

"Encounters with police" ... like bumping into an officer on the way to the drug store? Like a cop pulling over to assist him with a flat tire?
"Encounters" ?? You mean he's a repeat offender of one law or another.

Another crazy guy committing "suicide by police".

“recorded rap songs about issues like gun violence??” He was dancing with machine guns and pointing them at the camera! He was GLORIFYING IT. These people, I swear to God, I don’t know how much more of their nonsense I can take.
