They Are At It Again Philly and CNN Won't Show it

[bongsaway]

Black guy with a knife, shoot his ass. White guy who just killed two and is walking down the street with his rifle around his neck, nothing, zero response by the cops even when he stood next to a cop car with his rifle.

Nah, there is no systemic racism in america.

Animals being animals. Whatelse is new?

 

[ttwtt78640]

100% of “why isn’t mainstream media talking about X” accusations fall into two categories:

1) Mainstream media is, in fact, talking about X.
2) They aren’t talking about it because it’s absolute horseshit found only in far-right garbage blogs

It is how something is described which makes a huge difference. The PC term for widespread rioting, looting and arson has now apparently become “civil unrest”.

So a horde of criminals distracts/removes the police from their normal course of duties so they can respond to their rioting, looting and arson and then complains the police aren’t performing their normal duties = systemic racism in America? Here’s a thought: stop committing crimes and otherwise associating with criminals.

The white guy shot those dudes in self defense. The black guy with the knife refused to drop the knife. See the difference?

Correction: "mostly peaceful" is the preferred term, now.

Thankfully he had a firearm to protect himself. Is he facing any charges by chance?

(CNN)Philadelphia police shot and killed a Black man who waved a knife while standing on a street, plunging the city into protests that injured 30 officers as the police commissioner acknowledged the encounter "raises many questions." Drawing fresh national attention to fatal use of force by police, the incident also renews the spotlight on the swing state of Pennsylvania just a week before the presidential election. The man killed in West Philadelphia was Walter Wallace, according to a statement from Mayor Jim Kenney. Swift demonstrations following his death ended with the police injuries, businesses looted and 10 people arrested, police said.

Anger over the incident led to violence overnight, and Philadelphia police said at least 30 officers were injured during protests, according to a police press release obtained by CNN affiliate WPVI. Most of the injured officers were hit by projectiles, but at least one "was struck by a pickup truck - she sustained a broken leg and various other injuries," police said, according to WPVI. That officer was taken to a hospital. The other 29 injured officers were treated and released. In addition, five police vehicles were vandalized, and multiple businesses were looted across the city, the police said. At least 10 people were arrested.

Philadelphia sees more protests and looting as authorities investigate police shooting of Black man with knife

Protesters took to the streets for a second night after officers in Philadelphia shot and killed a Black man who was holding a knife in an encounter city officials say raises questions.

www.cnn.com

He was armed with a knife, and video shows he wasn't just standing there, but moving towards the police, at least one time feigning a charge.

"Video that was posted on social media shows the man, whom the authorities later identified as Walter Wallace Jr., walking into the street as people yell and two police officers aim their guns at him."

Correction: "mostly peaceful" is the preferred term, now.

That is generally used in reference to protests which may or may not be in the same areas as the rioting, looting and arson. It really does not matter to the injured LEOs whether only a small percentage of a crowd was responsible.

That is as comforting as noting that most crime is non-violent and is committed by a tiny percentage of the general population or that when seconds really matter, the police are only (several) minutes away.

It is a "fiery, but peaceful protest"

Police kill more whites than blacks.

Well at least the starbucks there will have to let them come in and use the bathroom whether they buy a coffee or not.

Police kill more whites than blacks.

And that means what?

 

[Luce]

This could be the black ghetto riot that gets Trump re elected. Whoever wins the next election, I want laws passed to crush black ghetto riots as quickly as possible and as violently as necessary.

Characteristics that enabled the ancestors of Negroes to thrive in the tribal environment of sub Saharan Africa learn for them many of them felony convictions in civilized countries. A criminal justice system that is effective for the two civilized races is insufficiently harsh for Negroes. Before the civil rights movement that was understood in the United States, and especially in the South. That is why, when a black man and a white man committed the same crime, the black man got more punishment.

Please change parties.

I'm sorry but one shot to a kneecap would have brought him down. Don't police learn to disable a threat like that? Not shoot 10 bullets in his chest? It makes the police look weak and terrified.

 

[iguanaman]

Police kill more whites than blacks.

Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims.

And if he missed the knee? The guy would still be heading towards him with a knife.

Best to shoot him in the chest to ensure he's stopped.

No. Guns are for one purpose only, deadly force. No US police force allows the use of firearms as a form of less-lethal force. It's a bad idea on a lot of fronts.

Obviously, a title using "They" to reference "Them" is not hard to understand what "It" is really about.

The perp did not have a gun and no police are not told to kill anyone they shoot at.

Officers use deadly force on a suspect they perceive to be an imminent threat of death or bodily harm to the officers or others. In training, police are told to use force until that person no longer presents a threat, Stoughton said.

So, the cops shoot a black guy gone ballistic who runs towards them brandishing a knife?

Sure. No doubt. It HAS to be all whitey's fault.

Eh? I wasn't responding to how it went down. I was only focused on the OP's claim that CNN wasn't reporting on the unrest/etc that followed. It seems like every single time I see a thread complaining that "the media" (meaning left-lean media) or a particular left-lean source is not reporting on something, a thirty second search turns up their reports on it.

He sure is facing charges. So much for your systemic racism horseshit. Huh?
