First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Do you want a fascist state? This, sir, is the exact same thing!!!! A direct parallel to Niemoller's quote.

5. Regardless about to stop, you're a stupid idiot to pull a knife on a cop that's holding a gun aimed

Regardless about the stop, you’re a stupid idiot to pull a knife on a cop that’s holding a gun aimed at you.

Holding a knife, when a cop tells you to put it down and you don’t, leads to getting your ass shot

Sorry, but this guy was beyond stupid.

8. He is not the stupid one.

America is stupid.
There is no doubt in my mind the murdered man had mental illness.
If it was a knife then no way should he have been shot.

6. This asshole deserved to be shot.

As I see it the cop had no choice but to shoot. It doesn't matter if it was a knife or a pack of cigarettes. How many times was he warned not to reach into his pocket.

9. Yea let's just shoot all the assholes with mental illness!!!!

Who in the world can't tell that man is sick?????
It is called deescalation. Fucking cops are suppose to be trained on it.
We are in a fascist police state and the cops are murdering us!

7. .

Did you not notice that before the man pulled the knife, the officer had pulled his pistol, and then rushed him and pushed him off his bicycle.

The officer then pulled out a baton, only then did he pull out the knife to defend himself from the officers assault on him. The officer then murdered him with his pistol.

This was not a justified shooting, It was a murder.
