Lancaster’s Crazy Knife Man
This weekend, a Lancaster (PA) police officer shot and killed a lunatic who was coming at him with a knife. The officer was headed to the man’s house following a domestic disturbance 911 call. You can watch the cop’s body cam footage embedded in the tweet below. The relevant still image illustrates this post:
BLM is rioting over this shooting. The suspect chases after the cop while waving a knife in the air. The cop literally had to choose between shooting or being stabbed to death.
BLM says he’s racist for not choosing to be stabbed to death.— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) September 14, 2020
Naturally, activists have hit the streets in Lancaster:

They’re out in the street protesting the killing of a man who charged a police officer with a knife in hand. Seems like another case of BLM protesters believing that no one should be arrested or shot unless they want to be. You watch the video; there’s no way that cop had any choice other than to shoot to save his life. In some of the clips taken from the street, protesters are saying that peaceful protest is not getting the job done — meaning that it’s time to get violent.
UPDATE: Sam M. references this tweet from the Lancaster DA:
We ask that acts of protest remain peaceful as violence and destruction of property will become headlines and serve no purpose for the safety and wellbeing of our citizens and neighborhoods.

Don’t riot and loot because the news media will have to notice? Really, is that what’s wrong with violence and destruction of property? It looks bad on TV?
UPDATE: Well, well, well, it seems that this fine upstanding citizen was awaiting trial for stabbing four people last year.
