...........then the bodycam footage is released

Turns out, the narrative circulating on social media was not accurate

(now there is a surprise)



Lancaster, a city in southeastern Pennsylvania, became the latest city to
experience racial unrest following the fatal shooting of a man by police on
Sunday.

But the narrative that was circulated on social media in the immediate
aftermath of the tragic incident was completely incongruent with the facts in
the case, which were made public when Lancaster police released bodycam
footage from the officer who fired the fatal shots.

What was the narrative?

Social media posts claimed that police had killed an autistic teenager who
was unarmed.

The claims triggered the same cycle of unrest that many American cities
have experienced this summer: Tense confrontations with police, which
become violent, resulting in the destruction of property and looting.

However, the social media claims, it turned out, were far from true.

What is the truth?

According to the Lancaster Police, officers responded to a domestic
disturbance Sunday afternoon. When officers made contact with the
individuals involved, a man began chasing one of the officers with a knife.
The officer responded by firing his weapon, striking and killing the man.

Police said the deceased person was not a teenager — but rather a 27-year-old man.

The Lancaster Police said in a statement:

The first officer on the scene walked to the front of the residence and
made contact with a woman, who was identified as a family member. A male
subject then exited the front door of the residence and began chasing the
officer. Preliminary information and body worn camera footage indicates that
the male subject had a knife in his right hand as he was chasing the officer.
The officer fired several shots from his firearm, striking the subject. The
subject, identified as 27 year old Lancaster man, did not survive his injuries
and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Later in the evening, as the false claims circulated on social media, police
released the officer's bodycam footage, confirming the deceased man did, in
fact, chase the responding officer in a threatening manner with a knife.

Lancaster Police said the local district attorney is now investigating the
incident to determine whether lethal force was legally justifiable in the case.


The man killed by police was later identified as Ricardo Munoz, the
Associated Press reported.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

At least the cops were able to defend themselves, and weren't held hostage from the threat of riots whenever any altercation turns nasty.

Not the left stirring up racial hatred again...you would think there's an election coming up or something.
