Walter Wallace is the career criminal who was shot to death in Philadelphia when he attacked officers with a knife. Because he was black, the city has erupted in violent “social justice” riots. Also because he’s black, old rich white liberals are exploiting his death to score political points. Bernie Sanders is demanding that the cops, who used appropriate force to defend their lives, be charged with murder.
Joe Biden has already gone on record supporting Wallace’s attempt to stab a couple of Philadelphia police officers to death. Now we get Comrade Bernie saying that the officers should have respected Wallace’s right to stab them to death:
Walter Wallace should be alive today, and our thoughts are with his loved ones. The police responsible for murdering him in front of his mother instead of getting him the medical attention he needed should be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted by the Justice Department.

Murder? Bernie does realize that there is a video of the shooting and it clearly shows Wallace ignoring police commands to drop his knife and then advancing on the officers, right? I know the elderly socialist is an avid Def-Con News reader, so this is for you Bernie:

The only reason why Walter Wallace isn’t alive to day is because he tried to stab a couple of police officers. His actions are the only thing that is responsible for his death.
In Bernie’s insane tweet he starts by saying that the cops are murderers, but then indicates they should be investigated. Shouldn’t an investigation come first before determining if there was a crime committed? Oh yeah, I forgot that Bernie is a communist and under that system, the state determines guilt and then makes the “evidence” fit the accusation.
Bernie also said that the cops should have administered medical aide to Wallace instead of shooting him. 4 out of 5 doctors agree that the cure for knife attack-itis is an injection of copper-jacketed lead. Take 10 rounds and call the medical examiner in the morning.
Before Bernie and the rest of the hysterical liberals try to portray Wallace as some saint who was on the cusp of greatness, Fox News has this dose of reality:
The Black man fatally shot by Philadelphia police officers on Monday was an aspiring rapper who sometimes rhymed about shooting people, including police officers, and was awaiting trial for allegedly threatening to shoot a woman…
Court records obtained by the news outlet also show Wallace had a criminal history. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to robbery, assault and possessing an instrument of crime, according to documents obtained by Fox News.
Authorities said he kicked down the door of another woman and put a gun to her head.
He was sentenced to 11 months to 23 months in jail. In 2013, he pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and punching an officer in the face.
Plus he really racked up the frequent felon miles at the local police precinct:
Walter Wallace Jr. had more mugshots than most men have selfies.

If only those mean old cops hadn’t shot this promising young man, he could have grown up to cure cancer or perfect cold fusion.
Bernie Sanders thinks that free health care, college, and abortions are Constitutional rights so it’s no surprise that he’s arguing that black guys stabbing cops is also a protected civil liberty. It is now the official position of the left that cops should allow black criminals to kill them, bacuse self-defense is murder.
