Suicide by cop in North STL

[Wasillaguy]

Reports from multiple witnesses that the guy was saying "shoot me now" "kill me" as the cops were shouting for him to drop the knife.

Did this guy have his own personal problems, or did he sacrifice himself to throw gasoline on the entitlement riots?

Suicide by cop happens a lot more frequently than the public might realize.

Entitlement riots? You mean like the one we witnessed in Nevada earlier this year?

Yeh...entitlement riots. There's some new right-wingnut terminology I've not heard before.

Hey! We're black...we're on public aid and living in section 8!!! We're entitled to riot once in a while!!!!!!!!!!!

Nifty new meme! Links entitlements, which are loot sought by the undeserving, and riots, which are the undeserving seeking to loot.

Understand, it doesn't really make sense, but it becomes a brick in the worldview anyway....

To be honest I had to google that lil' bit of wordsmithing. Interesting and telling bunch of sources there.

Of course the Bundy thing was more armed insurrection than riot. The feds ought to militarize the BLM with Apaches and Reapers.

Read the article. Thread title and OP's last sentence are inflammatory. and the only witnesses mentioned in the article are the two police officers who gunned the citizen down.

What's inflammatory about my sentence?

I wonder if the actions of the Bonus Army were characterized as an entitlement riot?
