Hey!! Leeroy got shot. Time to party.
Apparently some people think that they should be free to assault police with deadly force and not face the consequences.
The man became combative and pushed officers' arms away before reaching for a weapon on his waist band, Waller said.
At some point during the confrontation, the unidentified man was shot, police said. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police recovered a weapon at the scene but the man did not fire his gun at officers, Waller said.

The narrative before was that police shouldn't be shooting people who were unarmed. This person was armed and reaching for his weapon and now the narrative is that they shouldn't have shot him because he did not fire his gun at them? That's crazy. The man was combative, he reached for his weapon, the threat was eliminated. If the police can't stop and question someone whom they think may be armed, then we all basically have the right to open carry of a firearm. I'm not sure that's what the anti-gun crowd really wants.

Chicago PD has integrity problem. Initially many officers said Van Dyke was “lunged at.” He was charged after video showed a different story. The murder trial keeps getting delayed.I would really like to see some source for this other than Officer Bob said so.
This happens way too often.
It does. If those hood rats would stop carrying guns and shooting everyone they see, it might happen less often. Simple. ;-)
Gun laws are too lax in the USA.
How so? Be very specific,
Gun laws are too lax in the USA.
Actually too restrictive.......
Chicago has some of the most restrictive......and they’re shooting each other up by the thousands......including kids.
They riot because an LEO shoots one of the thugs and tonight another half dozen or so will be shot by other thugs and no one gives a rats ass......
This happens way too often.
