Boston's progressive Democrat mayor has been criticized for offering condolences to a knifeman shot dead by an off-duty police officer while trying to stab two.
Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu offered her condolences to the family of the unnamed attacker gunned down at a Chick-Fil-A restaurant in the city Saturday.
Boston police said two people ran into the Chick-fil-A in Copley Square while being chased by a man with a knife who was attempting to stab them shortly before 5:30 p.m. ET, reported NBC 10.
An off-duty cop was inside the restaurant and identified himself to the attacker, then told the man to drop this knife before firing his weapon.
'The officer then instructed the man to drop the weapon, to which he did not comply,' Boston police Commissioner Michael Cox said.
'The officer then discharged his weapon to stop the threat and the armed man was struck. He was then taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced [dead]. The officer was transported to a hospital for evaluation, but at this time, there are no other reported injuries.'
Critics have slammed Wu for immediately offering her sympathy to the family of the attacker - who has not been identified - during a press conference Saturday night.
'My condolences and all of our thoughts are with the family of the individual whose life has been lost,' she said.

Wow. That’s high up on the progressive scale.
“The officer was transported to a hospital for evaluation, but at this time, there are no other reported injuries.”
That’s weird.
Elections have consequences.
Well, she can always one-up her progressive creds by charging the victims with unwitting incitement of a armed criminal by just standing around.
"...a knifeman shot dead by an off-duty police officer while trying to stab two."
"...unnamed attacker gunned down at a Chick-Fil-A restaurant"
"The officer then instructed the man to drop the weapon, to which he did not comply"
Copley Square is a “nice” part of town. I might not call it “top-tier” but it’s certainly respectable. You don’t normally have to worry about getting knifed there.
Read the comment section to this article.
Plenty of Democrat women saying this crap is why they voted straight Republican in the last election for the first time in their lives.
And if the officer had not been there to prevent the attacker from killing someone?
Time to impeach or recall the b****ch!
Oops, I read “unnamed” as “unarmed.” My mistake. It’s an easy mistake to make when reading about Wu or anything writing in the DM. I’m always expecting both Wu and the DM to do, say or write something stupid.
Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu the that had a No Whites allowed Xmas party or whatever they call Xmas ,LOL
No name, yet, I imagine that Chick-fil-a has a video capture of the event.
“That’s weird”

Minorities have this primordial fear of being liquidated by whites. They view the police as an instrument of white power. Wu knows her core constituency and is behaving as a politician. When you understand this paranoid dynamic, the reason for behavior and policies of the Democrats become clear.
Wu probably has her staff working overtime to figure out how to charge the off-duty (hero) cop.
Wow. That’s high up on the progressive scale.

Very Wuwu
Chinese Harvard mayor… our betters again. Freaking clown.
Clearly, there are many people in positions of power and authority — and of trust — who are morally confused or, perhaps, compromised.
At I remember the night she was elected. The media was beside themselves because Boston and I forget the other city were about to elect women mayors and they hyped it all election night…
And ignored completely Winsome Earl-Sears becoming the first black female lt governor of VA.
They hyped wu and the other democrat all night long cut to their acceptance speeches. Yet didn’t mention Winsome once and once it became obvious she was going to win tried to rush and backfill:
On network clearly grabbing a picture of her off the internet that wasn’t remotely high enough resolution to use just to have some picture of her
It was disgraceful.
No, it’s normal standard operating procedure for unions at East Coast departments. Cop goes to hospital to get checked over. You don’t get to interrogate him while he’s under medical care. It’s a traumatic event, adrenaline dump… so he gets taken in. Then in a day or two, with cooler heads, he’s made available to investigators.
