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.

1. Innocent men typically don't run at police with knives 2. I think you need to read the Bible again: Looting = stealing "Thou shall not steal" Exodus 20:15

There are so many wonderful examples of people reading something from the Bible and conveniently forgetting the meaning or context in which it was said. You know, false idols for Old Testament, literal “if you are rich, you are going to hell” from Jesus himself in New Testament.

Since when is charging cops with a knife innocent? An innocent man would just drop the knife

If someone was running toward you with a knife, will you be alright with the consequences toward you? If they were subdued with lethal force, would you be alright if your homes were looted?

If someone charges me with a knife while I have a gun, I’m shooting. Cop or not.

Innocent? Innocent of what? I don’t know what his crime is or was, but this was the 3rd visit to this dudes residence that day.

You can be concerned with both, even though a man with a knife might not be innocent. You can and should be concerned with the workers and shoppers who depended on Walmart. But they don't count when trying to score political points.
