Violence Tears Through W. Philly After Police Shoot, Kill Man; 30 Officers Hurt

The violence happened after police shot and killed Walter Wallace Jr., who was seen on video armed with a knife as his mother tried to restrain him

By David Chang and Dan Stamm • NBC October 27, 2020:

Crowds of people took to the streets in West Philadelphia overnight after Philadelphia police officers shot and killed Walter Wallace Jr., a man armed with a knife, Monday.

At least 30 officers were hurt responding to the crowds, police said. At least 30 people were arrested.

SkyForce10 showed people taking items from stores along West Philadelphia’s business corridors before daybreak Tuesday.

Angry crowds took to the streets in West Philadelphia overnight after police shot and killed a man armed with a knife Monday, with some in the crowds throwing rocks and bricks at police and some looting or vandalizing businesses.

At least 30 police officers were hurt, police said. One was hospitalized, a 56-year-old sergeant who was struck by a pickup truck at 52nd and Walnut streets early Tuesday. Her leg was broken, among other injuries, police said.

All the officers, except for the one struck by the truck, had been treated and released as of early Tuesday.

The violence followed protests in response to the death of Walter Wallace Jr., a Black man who police shot and killed Monday in the city’s Cobbs Creek neighborhood.

Looters took shoes and clothes out of West Philadelphia businesses early Tuesday during a night of violence after Philadelphia police shot and killed a man with a knife. NBC10’s Randy Gyllenhaal reports.

Looters seized on the night of unrest. Police said numerous stores were broken into, including several Rite Aid stores in West Philadelphia, clothing and shoe stores and at least one restaurant. People could also be seen trying to break into a check cashing store and going in and out of a beauty supply store.

Clothes and merchandise were strewn across the sidewalk and street at 57th and Vine streets, where the glass screens of two ATMs had been bashed in.

Police cars and dumpsters were set on fire as police struggled to contain the crowds. More than a dozen officers, many with batons in hand, formed a line as they ran down 52nd Street chasing protesters away from the main thoroughfare. Some confrontations could be seen in photos shared by the Philadelphia Inquirer. The crowd largely dispersed then.

Police said five police vehicles and one fire department vehicle were vandalized. More than 30 people were arrested for throwing rocks and bricks at police or looting, police said.

The looting, vandalism and violence were initially concentrated in West Philadelphia’s commercial corridors. But, unrest and looting was also reported in other parts of the city, including Center City and North Philly.

The looting picked up again before daybreak as people could be seen going in and out of stores.

Drivers are being urged to avoid the area of 52nd and Chestnut streets. SEPTA also suspended the Route 52 line due to “civil unrest” and detoured the route 21 and 31 bus lines.

Earlier in the night, protesters gathered outside the 18th District police headquarters on 55th and Pine streets as well as the University of Penn Police headquarters on 40th and Chestnut streets.

The protests, violence and looting occurred hours after 27-year-old Walter Wallace was shot and killed by two Philadelphia police officers in Cobbs Creek. Investigators said Wallace was armed with a knife when he approached the officers and ignored them when they told him to drop the weapon.

Video from a witness showed Wallace walking toward the officers as his mother tried to restrain him. It’s unclear in the video however whether or not Wallace is holding a weapon.train…

As Wallace continues to approach the officers, the camera briefly points downward and the sounds of several gunshots are heard as the police open fire. The camera then rises again, showing Wallace motionless on the ground as his mother runs toward him, screaming hysterically.

Wallace was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Wallace’s family released a statement saying he was a father who was recently married and that he “didn’t deserve” to die.

Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw and District Attorney Larry Krasner all released statements in response to the shooting, saying they would investigate the incident.

Fraternal Order of Police president John McNesby also released a statement defending the officers.

Looks like the protest was just an excuse to riot and then to loot and steal.

DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS all use EXCUSES for what they do illegally, evilly, and what they call, “Democratically”.

I cannot wait until these fools come to our suburbs and try that crap here. WE ARE ALL ARMED AND READY.

It always is. It will be out of control in many places if the President wins. Blue states with demoscum governors and mayors don’t care. They won’t call out the National Guard. They will tell the Police to stand down in many places.

This will be the final blow if in self defense against an armed man who doesn’t respond to Police orders to drop his weapon, the PO are dragged through the mud, sued or threated by politicians and the public. Philly won’t have a PD thereafter and you all and defend yourselves including the Mayor.

The Governor doesn’t really care what happens to Pennsylvania. I predicted this would start by Monday in various parts of the country. I also said it might start last night after Amy Barrett was put on the court. BLM already has a plan to start everything going next Tuesday night(if it looks like the President is going to win) and it will start up in other parts of the country by Wednesday. Anything less than the demoscum taking total control of this country in the election is unacceptable to them. I expect the governor to shut down the state by the end of this coming weekend, especially if it looks like the President will win. Civil War is definitely coming.

If these savages come to the suburbs, the police will disappear and let the neighborhoods handle it. Rioters will disappear and freshly planted vegetable gardens will suddenly appear.

After the re-election of President Trump a new picture will emerge if Mayors, Governors don’t effectively suppress the violence. Its called Federalized Troops and there is plenty of pecedence. Also the President can declare martial law under certain circumstances and there is precedence for this too

No. The police will be there to arrest YOU. Look at what happened, around three weeks ago. I man, due to him flying a Trump 2020 Flag, had his house mob attacked by a blm rioting mob. Some, within the mob, brandished firearms.

The man retreated into his home. He grabbed a shotgun and, standing in his picture/bay window, cocked it, as it was a slide action.

Someone (perhaps many), within the blm mob, called the police. The police arrived. They kicked in that man’s door. They cuffed him and took him to jail. The blm mob went wild with cheering.

When he was gone, the blm mob threw more Molotov cocktails at his home and burnt it down.

If you actually think that the police will not go after those that were defending their families, you haven’t been following the actions of cops for quite a few years.

If you watch the video, you can plainly see that the homeowner did not “point” the shotgun at anyone. He was standing INSIDE his own home.

Trying to comprehend this madness. Perhaps if the police had fired a warning shot at the ground it might help these deranged individuals understand knife advancement can’t overcome police bullets. There, there’s my peacable advocacy. This is still an insane reaction overall. WTF? This madness can’t be allowed to continue!

Warning shots are highly discouraged. And, people (civillian or police) that have fired a “warning shot” have been charged, to a higher degree, than those that simply fired in self-defense. It has been argued, that if you have time to fire a “warning shot”, you had time to leave and/or “deescalate” the situation.

“Warning shots, or joey bidet’s “shoot them in the leg” are the things of which movies are made. They have no place in reality.

I honestly don’t understand this overall overreaction, Mr. Mohandjob. Even if the police used tranquilizer darts instead of bullets, like they do with wildlife, and someone died, the police department would still get extremely sued. Words matter! “Drop the weapon!” matters! Life matters! Why can’t we all just get along?

When someone is chasing you, with an edged weapon or a club, there is not time for anything but multiple shots, center mass.

A tranquilizer takes some time to take effect. When they are used on animals, it’s normally from a safe/guarded distance.

If someone is running at you with a baseball bat, machete, knife, etc., there is no time for anything but multiple center mass shots.

So, what exactly is the real deal here? A kneejerk excuse to loot locally? They drove OVER a frickin’ police officer and cheered it! For what? “Social Justice?” I don’t think they have really though this through entirely.

The real deal is that there is NO excuse for the negroes and wiggers to go on a rampage.

This has been going on a lot longer than the recent blm riots. Black on White crime is WILDLY out of proportion. And, if you’re of East Asian descent, unlucky enough to be in the SF Bay area … OVER 85% of ALL violent crime is negro perpetrators on those of East Asian descent. They call it San Francisco’s Dirty Little Secret.

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/nevius/article/Dirty-secret-of-black-on-Asian-violence-is-out-3265760.php

As far as black on white, in 2013, for every ONE black that was murdered by a white, there were ELEVEN whites murdered by blacks. And, when it comes to “interracial violence” black on white crime is off of the charts.

You have pinpointed the pimple on the donkey’s hind side. Isn’t this the icon of the Democrats? In any case, I’ll take a wild guess that they’ve made the Man, that he won’t use force to stop them. Therefore it’s pay-back to the community all their perceived hurts from outsiders. They know and we know it’s wrong. The Mayor, City Council know it’s wrong. My best advice, let the police use their SOP to maintain law and order. If you lose this feature of society, structure and peace, then fools will run the show knowing what buttons to push.

Tell that to the guy wielding the knife in your face. You won’t be walking away. Frankly, having met some very fine ppl in life I’ve also met the ShXX-kickers who don’t give a damn about you or anyone else. They just don’t care. Some think you’re flat-out stupid and some others just don’t think anything they’re doing is wrong. The latter are the most dangerous. The attitude “Why can’t we all get along” is fine with children or the classroom theories. The philosophy in real life with certain people will just find you dead in a ditch with your throat cut.

I’m sorry to say it would be worse if a “warning shot was discharged” at all. If taken at the ground the ricochet would likely hit another person and more likely it would splinter, ricochet and hit several people. On the other hand it a shot was taken in the air above the crowd be prepared for it to travel a mile to a mile and a half. It may strike an innocent Man, woman, or child along the way before it’s end point. Police are taught to shoot at the center of a target for a reason. Ample warning was given to an armed suspect disobeying police orders. He is a danger to other civilians and police. At some point if the police perceive a ratcheting up of the intensity of the danger their SOP is to neutralize the subject. The person had every opportunity to drop the knife but refused to do so and go home at some point. This was his choice. Was it suicide by COP?

A big hand of applause, smiles and blessings to the Man who made it possible, President Donald Trump. Unlike the doom sayer and person wiping out another productive Industry Oil. We are now the largest producers of Oil. We no longer are being black-mailed by Middle-East Theocracies, living with Princes, Kings, Mullahs, following rules from 1400 years ago under the threat of the penalty of death. Now, Joe wants to wreck what drives the American economy. Joe, where does the electricity get generated from A. Wind B. Water C. Sun D. Oil It’s D Joe. How do factories run their machinery? Where is the electricity generated from for all this enterprise. Currently Wind and Solar produce 2% of US energy. You plan to abandon Oil, gas and electric production within what a year, 2, 3, 4. You’re not thinking straight Joe. The 25th Amendment was created for situations like this, where one Man’s policy will ruin the country

And the Dems continue to use the Black-Man as the Raison de’ Affair and Cannon Fodder to push their agenda. This part makes me more sad than angry. A mob led by fools and narcissists trying to achieve the Marxist mirage of Power through Force (the end justify the means) Win or lose the President must crack-down using all available resources. Federalize the National Guard and put them under direct command of the Pentagon. It has been done in Detroit in the 45′ riots, Chicago riots in the 60s, Arkansas, Alabama both during the 60s. All States using a revolving door of Justice for these rioters the charge can be insurrection a Federal crime and they can be brought before a Federal Judge in a Federal Court. It will be a new experience for these insurrectionists. They won’t being going home the night of the court appearance. Maybe it will give law enforcement a chance to properly interrogate (interview) a number of them and find out who is paying their way and who is behind their movement besides George Soros.
