Do riots even make the news anymore? My guess is the liberal media doesn’t want people seeing what a Joe Biden America would look like so close to the election. In any case there was widespread violence and destruction to protest the shooting of an armed black man in Philly. Luckily the aggrieved protesters were able to achieve some sense of justice by looting stores and hitting cops with trucks.
On Monday, Walter Wallace Jr. was shot to death by police after he charged them with a knife. Here’s a video of the justified use of force:

The local media did a really good job of putting out false information that Wallace was either unarmed or did not charge officers. Here’s Philadelphia Enquirer reporter Ellie Rusing, rushing to judgement and fanning the flames:
I’m in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia, where police shot a Black man less than an hour ago. Witnesses say he had a knife but was not charging police. Numerous shell casings are in the street. Neighbors are irate, crying, yelling at police. pic.twitter.com/oWtIJTDdUw

The result was a massive riot that saw 30 cops injured, like this officer who was run over by a truck:

The officer reportedly suffered a broken leg, which is actually the best outcome to be expected from the truck attack.
91 one peaceful protesters were arrested: 11 for assaulting officers, 76 for commercial burglary (looting), and 3 for random idiocy. Here’s some of that social justice looting:

8 police vehicles were destroyed including this one lighting up the night sky:
And naturally Wallace’s family insists he dindu nuffin as reported by Fox News:
Relatives of a Black Philadelphia man fatally shot by police questioned why deadly force was used, hours after his death sparked a round of overnight protests that saw dozens arrested and 30 officers injured.
Wallace’s father, Walter Wallace Sr., [said] his son was shot 10 times. He said his son struggled with mental health issues.
“Why didn’t they use a Taser?” Wallace Sr. asked.
Why didn’t Wallace Jr. not charge officers with a knife? Why didn’t Wallace Sr. get his son some mental health help? We can play the question game all day, but it doesn’t erase the fact that this dude is 100% responsible for his own death.
Wallace’s aunt, who identified herself only as Sandy, told Fox News that her nephew had recently gotten married and had several children, ages 5, 7 and 8.
“He was turning his life around. They could have talked to him and calmed him down because I’m quite sure that’s part of their training,” said Sandy.
If trying to stab cops was “turning his life around” what was he like before that?
Rodney Everett, Wallace’s uncle, said the officers could have used other tactics to de-escalate the situation.
“If that’s what the police training is, then there is no police training. You can’t keep saying you’re training these people and they keep doing the same thing” said Everett.
He should stop getting all of his information about police training from watch Police Academy movies. Cops are trained to stop armed attackers and no amount of rioting and looting is going to change that.
Philadelphia is bracing for even more destruction Tuesday night. There’s still plenty of stores that haven’t been looted and according to the liberal media, the healing can’t begin until everyone has their fill of free shit.
