  1. bs man this is whats wrong with ppl they just see what they want to see and are blinded by reality

  2. NBC trying their best to to paint this as "Racist". Typical.

  3. Would have been so easy to drop the knife. That’s all he had to do and none of this happens.

  4. First he lost his legs a year ago now its 4 months the media really needs to do their homework

  5. Oh well. Nothing of value lost. And betting the blacks will be all “we need justice”. Derp

  6. Oh no! Poor violent mutant was dealt justice.

  7. "handicap, absolutely no reason for shooting"

    this guy just stabbed a random civilian… shluld we give him a trophy?
    out of mind wtf

  8. The problem is American police are trigger happy

  9. But they still didn't say what that person who was cut . . Did or said 👈 to provoke the guy in the wheel chair to cause his actions . . Now of course the guy who is still alive is going to say what ever but the other guy can't give his side of the story . . Even though they say every man is innocent until proven guilty in a court 👈 of law 🤨 . . P.S ashame they don't fight for the innocent Babies being murder by abortion 👈 like that 😟

  10. They said a few yrs ago that 22 soldiers commit suicide every . . Now they say it's down to 17 soldiers commiting suicide every day if that was a white double amputee ⬅️ the first thing the cops would of been thinking he is probably a military vet having a mental health crisis and they wouldn't even pull their guns . . just like when Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people and killed 2 and even though he had a assault weapon and was too young to have one . . They let him go and today he is alive and free . . But if he was black and did that . . he would be gone 🪦🤔

  11. So, let me see. He stabs a dude with the intent to end his life. Doesn't comply with police commands. Has intentions to throw the knife at the police. Gets tased with no effect. And finally, police use lethal force to stop him from hurting someone else. Now, where is the justice for the victim Anthony stabbed???

  12. The loss of Anthony Lowe will be a huge one for society. He was an outstanding citizen, a 6-time Father of the Year Award winner, as well is a Rhodes Scholar. Such a shame. 😢

  13. “If” the officers will be charged. We all know they’re not going to be charged. They won’t even lose their jobs. We already know this. It’s the same song n dance over n over. People will protest & there will be no accountability. Next time someone gets unjustifiably MURDERED, people will protest, media will cover it, cops will go back to work, blah blah blah. Do we really expect anything different?

  14. ok but shooting him 11 times like I dont even need to explain why that sounds weird.

  15. A Disability does not justify being able to break the Law or be a threat to society…

  16. CLEAN SHOOT !
    Just another POS off the street.

  17. Sonhis mother wants justice…for a person trying to Murder other people? LOL

  18. This has got to be set up. He stabbed someone.

  19. The 12 inch butcher knife he was holding turned into 11 bullets, short one. Compa Rami hechele huevos.

  20. Biden might win some support back if he gets rid of qualified immunity. or that be trump next year

  21. Now we won't know why he stabbed that other guy

  22. He still had both arms and a 12 inch knife to cause injury to someone, so what is their point???

  23. That’s the funniest video I’ve seen I’m glad that double amputee lost his life P.O.S.

  24. Black ppl march for the wrong ppl!!!! He earned those bullets!!!

  25. I'm sure it'll still be the police's fault somehow….

  26. No sympathy after seeing him stab an innocent victim. Shouldn't be allowed to show the shooting without the attack vid.

  27. Didn't care for dumping him over, but the rest looked okay. He can't be allowed to move away and victimize others. Plus the family now gets to sue. We all know they wont agree to give the winnings if they get any, to a charity for amputees. Dare someone to make them agree to that! This is their ticket, and boy shall it be milked. I don't see anything but a dangerous guy with a knife who already attacked an innocent person being treated as so! All he had to do was cooperate!

  28. So the victims family want the police to take accountability that their son was swinging a knife around after stabbing two people .. seems like the Victims family needs to start taking accountability.

  29. I found out in life if you don't do illegal things, your chances of having a negative encounter with LE are next to none.

  30. “Mental illness episode” aka my family member is high on meth and hadn’t slept in a week and is In psychosis 😂

  31. This criminal stabed someone. Cops roll up bang bang dead criminal. JUSTIFIED!

  32. He didn't deserve to die he had just almost killed someone else tho so the cops were on seriouse alert but i just feel something else could of helped them get him in custody without shooting him i can't believe 11 times int he back what is happening with the bad cops out there ruining the hard work good cops are putting out there WoW

  33. Wow, that's some one-sided self serving assertions without supporting evidence. He was fleeing felon, attempted murderer, resisting arrest, & threatening deadly force against officers.

  34. Idiots demanding justice for this pest..he stabbed a total stranger with a 12 inch knife..The stabbing victim is the victim not this criminal. Thank you to the officers for ridding the streets of another pest

  35. 11 times in the back after snatching him out of his wheelchair. Clearly he wasn't such a threat that they couldn't yank him out. If he's moving away from the police, how is he a threat? The police messed this up,and tired to lie and justify their actions. He had a knife, not a gun!
    What are the names of the police officers?

  36. JUSTICE for Mr. RAMIRO. The savage only gets a dirt nap

  37. He stabbed someone so why are they defending him 🤷🏻‍♂️

  38. Hope they had .50 calibers

  39. It's always the Police fault but the amputee was a menace. Plus, he refused to comply as always
