double amputee in wheelchair shot dead by Houston police

another hero cop

From the linked article:

"He was approaching them aggressively,” said Houston Police Department spokes­woman Jodi Silva. “He was attempting to stab them with what is now found to be a pen...."

Approaching them aggressively? From a wheelchair. He's missing an arm and leg, so how fast and aggressively was he moving that chair? Unbelievable.

Houston cops are real pigs!!

And if he has to roll up in his wheelchair, he has to have his hand on the wheel or something. This situation honestly makes no sense, and anyone trying to defend these police should know that they aren't getting any special treatment when the time comes either.

Nothing will happen to this officer, other than some extra paid leave until this blows over -- which, given the public's attention span, should just be a few more days!

The officer was cornered and threatened with an unknown object -- even a pen can be used to cause a deadly stabbing. Good shoot!

When an officer tells you do something, follow his commands!

if these cops were in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it would have been a very short film.

The more I think of this, the angrier I get. In order to move at all, he needs one hand (because that's all he had), to move the chair. If he's got a pen in that hand, he's moving the chair with his (one) foot! Must be moving a good two feet per hour! The speed! The aggression! Of course they had to shoot him.

He was reaching for a gun oh no wait??

SO FUNNY , We now have lines and lines of assholes pretending to have weapons to commit suicide ...
