#WORLDWIDE #USA #News #Journal - Cops killed this Black man right in front of his mother

 

His mother begged for his life, but then watched as police killed her son. Justice for Walter Wallace Jr. Sign Now Dear friends, Proving yet again that they are completely incapable of helping someone experiencing a mental health crisis, especially if that person is Black, police officers in West Philadelphia shot and killed 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr. while his mother begged for his life. Walter had mental health issues and was in crisis when cops arrived. Instead of de-escalating or using non-lethal force like tazing, cops fired 13 bullets, 10 of which struck Walter and killed him. Sign the petition to demand justice for Walter Wallace Jr.! Walter's mother was trying to protect him from the police by staying close to him, but as soon as he was separated from her, the two officers killed him, even as she begged them not to. He apparently had a knife at some point, though it's unclear whether we has holding it when murdered. But even so, a knife is no match for a gun and they had other options than to kill him. Nurses and social workers frequently have to deal with a person in mental crisis and they do it without killing them. It's just another example of poorly trained, trigger-happy cops ready to shoot first, ask questions later. Sign the petition and demand that these officers be fired, without pay, immediately, and that their gunning down of Walter Wallace Jr. be investigated as a homicide. Thank you,   Kelsey B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Walter Wallace Jr. needed help, and instead he was murdered. Sign the petition.
