PA: Protests erupt after police shoot knife-wielding man who charged cop in Lancaster

This.

Funny how the rioters are pretty much entirely Democrat supporting liberals. This isn't an America problem, this is a Democrat problem, a liberal problem, a leftwinger problem.

Waiting for the facts sounds like the responsible approach, and we've seen how the liberals laugh at personal responsibility. Responsible people wait for facts, immature childish idiots act on feelings and emotions.

LOL, I love you guys, you're cracking me up.

Great point. The left never admits when they're wrong. Imagine the impact it might begin to have on their followers to see the adults in authority actually admit when they're wrong.

It depends on the political narrative. When it comes to discussing border security, they become downtrodden "brown people".

This. This, this, this. The most despicable thing about the BLM is that it is entirely based upon, and reliant upon, a false narrative. It's a festering pile of hatred built on a lie.

Oh please, just stop. Or back up your false claims and show us proof that the common treatment for mental issues in the US is to shoot and kill them. Otherwise your baseless hype is no better than the bullsh*t being spewed by BLM daily.

It appears to depend on political affiliation and how far to the left a person falls on the political spectrum........

Which is how all of these riots should be handled!

 

One guy, not involved in rioting.

Keep trying.

 

Everyone knows the rioters are all racially inferior blacks and white Democrat cultural Marxist whites who suddenly decided they just MUST have the very same flat-screen TV most any of them will be able to buy for $200 come Black Friday 50 days before President LawnOrder promises to bring his LawnOrderSticktm to Washington and wield it with his own Tiny Hands

Yeh, we're looking ridiculous. You're voting for a President who thinks we can prevent forest fires by raking up several hundred thousand square miles of the most remote forests who Earth, and who spent five years postulating that Time Traveling Kenyan Witch Doctors were forging Birth Certificates and we're ridiculous because we believe in the largest militia movement on Earth.

 

Yes, you are looking ridiculous destroying your own cities. I agree.

 

LOL...I am picturing that description like an episode of The Simpsons.

 

Yeah, he only killed 2 guys.

 

Well, Antifa is scripting how to turn a blue state red....

The Final Straw That Caused MN Law Enforcement Union to Wipe Their Hands of Dems

 

Just when I think the left can't sink any lower, or disgust me any further, I am proven wrong. They keep finding new and creative ways to surpass my expectations.

 

I agree - but I think we see it from different sides. There is no advantage to BLM rioting, looting and destroying. There is, however, great advantage for BLM to be perceived as the ones doing the rioting, looting and destroying. I have no proof of wrong doing on either side, but it's just common sense to me...

 

Is it worse to incite and encourage the riots, looting, and burning, or participate in those actions?

 

It is bad to do both.

 

Other states use techniques to limit forest fires... including controlled burns and fire breaks... Are you telling me the great state of California the bastion of all things Progressive can not do so?


“The laws of the past 45 years have not only failed to protect the forest environment, they have done immeasurable harm to our forests,” said Republican Rep. Tom McClintock, who represents a northeastern district in California, in a congressional hearing. “Time and again, we see vivid boundaries between the young, healthy, growing forests managed by state, local, and private landholders, and the choked, dying, or burned federal forests.”

According to a Reason Foundation study, another flaw in forest management is a systematic reduction in timber removal. This began in 1990 when the spotted owl was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. In response, the Forest Service placed restrictions on timber harvests. Additionally, President Bill Clinton introduced a rule that restricted the construction of new roads on 49 million acres of national forest. This limited the ability of the Forest Service from thinning trees. In 1993, 1,797,574 acres of wildlands burned, but in 2017 this number jumped to 10,026,086 acres.

From 1960 to 1990, 10.3 billion board feet of timber were removed from federal forest land each year. From 1991 to 2000 that numbered dropped to 2.1 billion board feet of timber per year.


When trees are too close together, they fight for resources. Many of the trees are weakened and become more susceptible to disease and insect infestation. These conditions turn entire forests into tinder boxes. A 2017 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that 129 million trees have died in California’s forests since 2010. The USDA report agrees with Trump — California’s forests suffer from neglect and mismanagement.

In order to cut down trees on private land, property owners must fill out a Timber Harvest Plan and get permission from CAL FIRE, said Schori. As of 1995, the private sector owned 8 million acres of undeveloped fire prone land, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Yet Timber Harvest Plans were only granted for 3,282,950 acres of privately owned land in 2017.

Air quality control laws also make it difficult for factories and private landowners to dispose of deadwood. The difficulty these regulations impose may prohibit private owners from effectively managing their land.

To prevent fires, both the California’s state government and the federal government need to deregulate logging and encourage the Forest Service to make a profit by selling timber. Until the environmental protests of the 1970s, the Forest Service was one of the only departments in the federal government making a profit. It is a myth that environmental concerns and business interests are always at odds. In the case of California’s forests, thinning the trees is in the interests of both parties. Trump understands this, and his administration is expanding timber sales on federal land.

Feelz goodz policy for decades in California is why we have this mega fires.. Of course its easier to blame climate change or even worse "Trump" for decades of idiots making bad regulations.

Before you start ranting about "right wing" this and "right wing" that... here

He literally launched a civil rights investigation just days into Floyd's death. Would we prefer a President Wheeler?

 

Bottom line there is NOTHING BAD about shooting a guy running at you with a knife regardless if you're a cop or joe blow. Now Lefties using this shooting to riot is disgusting PERIOD and should be arrested and condemned by the left.

 

A guy who previously stabbed 4 people including a minor.. the left really needs to pick better role models..

 

As horizontal Harris meeting with Jacob Blake said to the multiple time sex offender, " I'm proud of you".
Another role model.

 

Some?? They've arrested 8 of the masterminds so far and holding them on $1,000,000 bails. And oh they left the body, part of the crime scene, on the ground while they did the forensic investigation.............BURN DOWN THE TOWN!!! That's just as stupid as not waiting until you know the context of what occurred.

 

Well let's not forget the news and MSM did not report he had attacked the police with a knife at least not until you got WAY into the stories on CNN and NPR as was discussed on The Five today, so let's put some blame there too. The MSM has done everything it could to ramp up these situations as if they hope for riots and arson and more people killed.

 

This should be pretty much open and shut. Autism or not, the man charged a cop with a deadly weapon without warning. The officers acted appropriately. The movement for police reform always seems to take 1 step back when they try to make open and shut cases like this out to be some kind of crime. It hurts their cause and it hurts those who actually are victims of police misconduct, racism, and brutality.

 

The cop with a knee on the guys neck was charged.

The rioters are destroying innocent peoples livelihoods, sometimes their lives, their belongings,etc.

Saying they're 'becoming as bad as cops' is flat out partisan absurdity. We have all the data you could ever want showing police are NOT the problem.

But you just can't help yourself to poke and prod any chance you get. Take your own advice and be objective for once.

 

I GUARANTEE! almost anyone carrying a Gun with some shooting skills would ventilate a guy like that if he was to come running at them wielding a Knife with his CRAZY Face on. Anyone who thinks they have time to negotiate with someone like that before he plunges that knife into their Chest is FULL! of it. Cops are no different, even if they're trained, because sometimes they only have a Split Second to save themselves.

Yup! there was NO! Coddling this Feller

 

Controlled burns are one thing, "raking up the leaves" (Trump's own words) over thousands upon thousands of acres is something else again

 

Maybe these morons need to learn to read past the headlines..... and choose better news sources in the first place.....

Part of the problem today is idiots who think they can rely on leftwing sources for their "news", and who think they're hip to current events because they skimmed the headlines on their phones while they were sipping their morning latte

 

You don't do a forensic investigation when you know the who what when and where with video evidence.

And the bail for the protesters as well as arson charges is going to get dropped very quickly.
