Yep, nothing says justice like looting a Walmart. Nothing says poverty like stealing cosmetics from a CVS pharmacy...

Biden was just asked by a "journalist" about his message to people outraged by the shooting of "yet another unarmed Black man". Who has a criminal record for putting a gun to a womans head and punching a police officer in the face.

Bottom line: When did having a knife become "unarmed"?

I've actually heard that same thing before, "he was unarmed, he only had a knife". I guess "unarmed" means "didn't have a firearm" to some people.

As to why the police didn't have/use Tasers, I heard that the Philadelphia police had their budget actually CUT this year by the city council, so plans to buy more tasers were shelved. Also, tasers generally aren't used against armed suspects. Armed suspects are considered to be attempting to use deadly force, so the police use guns. We have all heard numerous cases where tasers were ineffective, so using them against a potentially drugged out felon would be irresponsible.

I think we all agree. None of this would have happened if police shot him in the leg or if a social worker or community police were present. Now the only thing to do is burn down your neighborhood and loot businesses including Black-owned ones.
