Walter Wallace Jr.’s family reportedly does not want to pursue murder charges against the Philadelphia police officers who shot and killed him, saying the officers were “improperly trained,” numerous sources reported.
The family privately reviewed the police body camera footage Thursday, the same week that Wallace, 27, was shot and killed while experiencing a mental health crisis and carrying a knife, NPR reported Friday.

12 million from the city should do it. Worked elsewhere.
Could they signal any louder that they are looking for a big payday?
It’s not their fault that their traveling psychologist was in getting donuts when this happened.
I think the family is playing to the jury pool for a civil suit.
Good thing for them I’m not sitting on it. I wouldn’t give them a damn dime.
If the victim had just ‘learned to code’ this could have all been avoided. /sarc
LOL...
The officers are clearly running backwards away from the crazy loon while he’s coming after them with a knife. He couldn’t be dissuaded or stopped by even his own family members at the scene.
The guy suicided by cop. End of story.
1 unarmed black man per month is killed by law enforcement
1 black man is killed EVERY HOUR OF THE DAY by another black man
***a mental health crisis and carrying a knife, ***
And in Nice, France, a man with a knife just murdered three people.
I guess for training, they need to watch Austin Powers and Naked Gun movies to show them how to shoot a knife out of violent perp’s hands.
If the people who intimately know the jackass with the knife can’t control him, how does a cop with a teeny bit of training do it?
But I can’t wait for weenie social workers to get sent to these calls.
Lesson number one: never bring a knife to a gunfight.
This pisses me off to no end. Hey “family”, your boy charged at armed officers with a knife and ignored multiple warnings to drop his weapon. We should charge you all for being miserable POSes that you are.
It was Walter Wallace Jr. who was “improperly trained” and no one else.
They did a bang up job of training their offspring, didn’t they?
“I understand he had a knife … and I think that does not give you carte blanche to execute a man,” Johnson said.
Uh YES it does. And it’s not an execution, it’s self-defense. We know the game. You’re setting up the excuses to hit the ghetto lottery.
Wallace’s family are among the legions of freelance law enforcement training experts that fill our cities.
BS - they’d lose a murder charge and they know it.
It was proper self-defense.
...and not supplied with proper equipment. As I mention the police did not have teasers because they were refunded.
