There are people in this country more concerned about a Walmart being looted than about an innocent man being killed. Many of them tout the Bible, but “Thou shall not loot” is not in there. “Thou shalt not kill” sure is.

Actually, “Thou shalt not steal” is of course in there. But my point about priorities remains the same.

Video shows he walked toward police with a knife. Police are trained to stop the threat. That means hitting center mass. No one should rejoice in the loss of a life, but this isn't breaking the commandment.

Both are in the commandments: Thou shalt not steal, and Thou shalt not kill. However, stealing Walmart junk sure doesn't deserve on the spot execution! It's not death penalty level crime.

No, people think looting doesn't solve problems because it doesn't. It just gives the government an excuse to expand the very police state that people are looting over.

He was walk at police worth a knife after being told to drop it multiple times. A social worker would be dead...

"Thou shalt not steal" is in there. Looting is a specific form of stealing and is prohibited. These word games are reminiscent of what leftists tried on "well regulated militia" in 2A, ignoring the meaning it had when written and trying to apply new meanings to those words.

Walmart has killed so many small, local businesses. If being looted is the worst thing that happens to them, they are getting off super easy.

Police didn't try at all to halt looting Foot Locker or Walmart far from protests. They had entire force blocking peaceful protesters. Police incited a small detached group of protesters with racial epithets retreated & then attacked. Images simultaneous 8:56 PM by Fox6 & Ruptly.

Different take: Christianity “thou shall not kill”, how many Christians are vegetarian? Ever think maybe the violence, hate, anger, fear ppl eat for every meal is than infested into their lives? Karma has always been there. We just chose not to see it.

How many "innocent" men go after police with a knife? The police backed away, yet the man kept moving toward them. Should they have waited until they were stabbed before they shot him? Let's not drag the dead man through the mud but he doesn't belong on a pedestal either.
