  1. Wow. Your crazy half husband is out stabbing innocent people, but you claim to be a victim.

  2. Nbc get your stories straight.

  3. Yea he tried to throw the knife at the cops. That's grounds for lethal force.

  4. Ask God why his dad went around with a butcher knife? And why did he stab an innocent man? Maybe he had a death wish and didn't want to live anymore so suicide by cops. Don't try to blame the officers and make money off of his death. That's just pitiful.

  5. CNN: it was a mostly peaceful stabbing.

  6. Pure BS at its finest. He got exactly what he had coming to him so these idiots can just stew in their own rancid juices.😡🤬😡

  7. What is jail/prison for if officers can end the life of someone?

  8. Yes Anthony Lowe was a criminal. That's not what this is about. The police need serious training. Killing someone crawling away is insane. It's about BOTH families.

  9. Dead or alive this guy would of been in jail regardless. He would of hurt someone again. Family should of been out helping that guy while he was out in the streets. Now they just looking for money from police department. Smh.

  10. Where were these loved ones when Anthony was in mental decline? This man attacked another human being unprovoked yet this man is the victim? These family members see a quick paycheck not justice.

  11. Soooo are we not going to talk about the real victim….

  12. Don't forget to mention he STABBED an innocent man on his way home from looking for a job to feed his family. The man almost died.

  13. Justice they murder that brother

  14. Jesus!! These people sue at the drop of a dime. I hope the police start ignoring these type of calls

  15. This attorney is a joke.

  16. Hey was stabbing people tho?…

  17. Same guy who threw a knife at police? Ok

  18. This man just stabbed someone!!! He’s the true victim!

  19. Anthony Lowe literally stabbed someone 💀

  20. Anthony Lowe stabbed an innocents man, a hard working father and husband, who was coming home from work. A man he did not know and who caused him no harm. The stabbing was unprovoked. This happened only minutes before Lowe was shot by police. The victim who was stabbed by Lowe almost lost his life. The knife punctured his lungs and missed his heart by an inch. As of the time of this writing, the victim is still in the hospital recovering. The victim of Lowe's aggression is the real victim in this horrible incident not Lowe.

  21. Oh Lord tired of these ppl

  22. Theese ambulancechasing lawyers should be relocated to guantanamo

  23. He was ARMED!!! police did the right thing and should keep doing a good job!

  24. He didn't fear for his life when he stabbed an innocent person. Smh

  25. I do not respect these lawyers they only come out when someone dies I don't see any of them helping when it's not a death so I'm not sold on these lawyers at all I face racist and hatred on jobs and I can't get help from the EEOC or any lawyers I pray you all get justice but to me there is no justice for black Americans not at all

  26. Al sharpton guaranteed he will be there. He sees money to be made

  27. You know in most of these fatal shootings I would say “why couldn’t they shot him in the leg?” But uhmmmm 💀😂😭

  28. Lil' Stumps was in the wrong neighborhood

  29. Lmao he stabbed a person. Are all these fools idiots.?
