Double-Amputee Fatally Shot By Police In The Back

Guess police were worried they would not be able to run fast enough if he charged after them with no legs.


Huntington Park police are seen slowly following Anthony Lowe Jr., who was brandishing a 12-inch butcher knife, and fatally shooting him in the back. Dr. Rashad Richey and A.B. Burns-Tucker discuss on Indisputable. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

None of the police officers tried to calm Anthony Lowe Jr down.

None of the police officers tried reasoning with him, to advise him that he won't be hurt.

The police officers could have used a nightstick or PR-24 baton to bat the blade, which would knock it out of Anthony Lowe Jr's hand.

The police officers could have simply exhausted him, before taking him before a judge.

That police officer who pulled the trigger has to live with that murder for the rest of his life.
