| Police Shooting of Suspect Charging Officer Armed with A Knife Sets Off Rioting In Lancaster Pennsylvania. | |
| 2020-09-14 | |
| RedState Earlier on Sunday afternoon a Lancaster Police Department Officer shot and killed a black suspect who was charging at him with a knife over his head. A classic case of "hands up, don't shoot"? The officer had been called to a "domestic disturbance". When he arrived a woman was standing just inside the front door of the "townhouse" with the glass door closed. She opened and saw the officer who was walking up from the sidewalk. There were 4 steps up from ground level up to the front door. The officer can be heard saying to the woman "Where’d he go?" As the woman opens the door and begins to exit, the officer tells her to "Get back, get back." As she does so a tall black man exits the front door and comes down the steps as the officer retreats. The black man is holding a large kitchen knife above his head and begins charging towards the officer. The officer defends himself from attack by shooting the suspect from a distance of 5-8 feet, killing him. The incident was captured on the officer’s body cam video: ...Further information coming out tonight is that the dead subject, Richardo Munoz, seems to have been known to law enforcement, and has stabbed people in the past. ...BLM is protesting at the Lancaster Police station tonight over the death of Ricardo Munoz — another standout citizen wrongfully gunned down by lawless police in the prime of his life. We’ll never know what worthwhile contributions to society he might have made.
The video then shows Munoz running out of the house holding a knife before the officer shoots him several times and the 27-year-old falls to the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The officer has been placed on leave, according to a statement from Lancaster mayor Danene Sorace and the district attorney’s office said the shooting is under investigation to determine if the officer’s use of force was justified. People assembled outside a police station after the shooting, with some damaging a police vehicle and others throwing bricks. Rioters also threw glass bottles, gallon jugs filled with liquid and parts of plastic road barricades at officers. Officers used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up the crowd after demonstrators "failed to follow the instructions." | |

| #15 It has been interesting watching him walk away from what the left has become. Pool is still the same guy, but Trump has always been a 1970s blue dog democrat type of guy. That is "conservative" now. That is how far the left has pulled the demoncrats. |

| #14 Interesting fella. That guy is a former left winger liberal. Until he decided to become a "people's reporter" and actually saw the truth versus what the "main stream" press has been showing. |

| #11 Just another example of how these rioting BLM toads react without even one notion to look at the facts and circumstances of the situation. Police are, in their sick minds, a priori at fault. |

| #10 This is the exact situation all the defund the police don't want you to see: a non- police social worker dispatched to a 'domestic. Joke ce' call only to be met by a weapon carrying 'jogger/skateboarder'... Any last remaining shreds of empathy I may have had for sincere BLM went down the tubes with the LASD ambush and resulting hospital protests. Time for grape shot or something stronger. |

| #6 The knife wielder was shot 5'-8' away while advancing towards a retreating officer. Reads like the officer made a good call on the shooting. Unfortunately, officers often get charged, tried and convicted in the MSM on Twitter or on the internet before any facts are known. The 21' rule has often been used as a guideline for addressing a knife threat by an armed officer. The following article brings into question the Tuller Rule developed in 1983 by a police firearms instructor in Salt Lake. Revisiting the 21' Rule. |

| #2 /\ Why haven't the Leaders and Funders been located and a arrested. Because they currently control the House of Representatives ? |

| #1 Open Question for the Fed's / DOJ: Given all the well documented and video taped domestic terrorist actions by the Liberal Socialist/Marxist Democrat owned and controlled BLM group in the past 180 days. Why haven't the Leaders and Funders been located and a arrested. Is it because doing so is also a Catch-22 political situation? |
