Meek Mill spoke out against the death of Walter Wallace Jr. after Philadelphia police killed the 27-year-old Black man on Monday (October 26). Meek, a Philly native, criticized cops for firing more than a dozen shots at Wallace in the fatal shooting.
“A so called ‘thug on the streets’ wouldn’t shoot a man with a small knife that many times to protect themselves…. the hood been seeing this our whole lives,” he wrote. “I posted for y’all to see a young man killed in front of his mom and coulda been resolved with a tazer or a shot or 2! Let’s help her ASAP!”
Police claim Wallace refused to put down a knife and came towards them, which led to the shots being fired. According to authorities, the cops did not have tasers.
A lawyer for Wallace’s family said they called for an ambulance to help deal with a mental health crisis. Wallace’s cousin Anthony Fitzhugh told NBC Philadelphia his late relative struggled with mental health issues.
Meek Mill Promises New Album Before 2020 Wraps Up
Wallace’s mother was at the scene of the shooting, trying to calm her son. She witnessed his death and can be seen running to his lifeless body in graphic footage of the incident.
Protests and unrest have emerged in Philadelphia following the shooting. Wallace’s death has brought police brutality back to the forefront in a year which has already seen George Floyd killed by Minneapolis police, Breonna Taylor fatally shot by Louisville cops in her own home and Jacob Blake miraculously survive despite officers shooting him in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
This fucking clown. Dude ran at the cops with a knife. Suicide by cop. Late term abortion. Anyone who says that “shoot him in the leg/shoot him with a taser” shit is a jackass. You obviously have zero training and do g understand how escalating use of force works. You shoot him in the legs and miss, someone dies. You take him and he is high or psychotic, it doesn’t work and someone dies. Shouldn’t people be ashamed of these protestors and morons like Meek, T.I. Etc? This shit is old already. Pull a knife get shit. That’s the social contract. Pull a gun get shot. Still also a thing.
Taser would have worked no questions asked
Do you know how tasers work? They are not miracle weapons. They shoot out two probes that BOTH need to make proper contact for incapacitation to happen. As the probes leave the taser they spread out at an angle. The further away the cop is, the less likely that both probes make contact. It is a moot point as these cops didn’t have tasers because their budget was cut. But defund the police amirite?
Those two cops did NOT have Tasers.
The DEMOCRAT Mayor of Philly cancelled the Taser funds from the budget because Philly is broke.
So go protest in front of the DEMOCRAT Philly mayor’s mansion.
Dude ran torwards them pointing a weapon in their direction.
Brought a knife to a gun fight and guy immediately turned into SpongeBob, LOL. Perfect timing for another round of BLM riots exactly a week before the elections!
Can’t walk towards a cop with a knife after they tell you to drop it. People would care more if this was a valid example of injustice. This wasn’t George floyd by any means
So Meek is okay with dude being shot 1 or 2 times? Does he know that 1 shot can be fatal also? His logic is off.
Definition of “Meek” – quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive. Lol
Smh idiot. Ok let’s just say if he ran up on a civilian with a knife who actually had a concealed carry license, would you sing the same song? Lol I would have shot his stupid ass too!!
I would not come at the cops with a knife and expect to live.. They will light your ass up… The momma should have tackled him before he ran up on the police and got shot up. (Atleast that’s what I would have done if that was my child)
And here’s Schmeek Schmill again, social justice clout chasing….. It used to be a time when idiots knew their 15 minutes was up, now they go on social media when they played out in the business.
its sad. that man had or could get so much more to live with. r.i.p……………………………………………………………………….
Does he condemn the BLACK BLM rioters who ran over a female cop? No?
There have 400 homicides in Philly this year up to this point. 400 and not even past October. And this is what he speaking out about. That’s the problem
This issue has more to do with common sense than blacks versus whites. If you roll up on cops with a knife and an intention to do harm , you will get shot up regardless of what race you are . End of story.
god meek mill is so fuckin wack.
ON GOD BRO THIS DUDE TRIES TOO HARD
What a low life. That piece of shit got what he asked for.
This was clear murder. The black man was simply pulling out a knife to cut the fried chicken he had in his pocket.
BLACK PEOPLE AND LGBT ONE STRUGGLE!
#BLM
Man, this cat dumb dumb huh? Just trying to divide and stick up for a criminal who tried to attack the police with a knife and got merked! That’s what’s gonna happen… all you clowns claiming u don’t want the police are ignorant AF. You know what the patriots would do to these lefties… wake up kids… TRUMP 2020
I condemn the idiot running around the street lunging at cops with a knife. I saw the video and this moron wouldnt even listen to his own mother who tried to get him to stand down. This isnt a race issue, this is a stupidity issue. Lets just say Im the cop and aimed for his legs and missed because it was a tough shot. Now I take a knife to the head for not shooting the torso when I had the chance. Why should I take a knife to the head to save this guys life ? This incident has nothing to do with race. You got the guy on film attacking the police. This is not George Floyd. This is not Breonna Taylor. This is a guy who decided to commit suicide by cop. And if it was a white guy with a knife who got killed, Id say he was just as stupid and just as guilty. People need to stop race baiting and call it what it is. He had a chance to stand down. Should have listened to his mama.
How do they find these graduation pictures and prom pics of the career criminals the idiots of the black community and leftist white morons riot for? I saw about eleven mug shots of this violent mental patient the cops shot BECAUSE HE CHARGED AT THEM WITH A KNIFE. What a joke these social justice warriors are. They always post the pictures of their criminal gods they bow for when they’re all nice and behaved. Show the guys mug shots. Get a damn life.
Wow riots just in time for the elections where Trump wins in a landslide. Don’t trip, this is all being done on purpose…controlled chaos.
Its crazy because police always manage to bring a violent, mentally ill Yt suspect in alive. Go figure …
