California cops fatally shot a double amputee on Thursday as he tried to evade arrest by getting out of his wheelchair and hopping away, according to reports.

Officers fired roughly 10 rounds at Anthony Lowe Jr., a 36-year-old father of two whose family said he lost his legs in another encounter with police in Texas.

The Huntington Park Police Department said officers were called to the scene after Lowe stabbed someone without provocation.

After leaping out of his wheelchair, Lowe hopped down the street away from police, who initially tried to tase him.

Another police car arrived as Lowe — who was carrying a butcher’s knife — continued to flee.

A police officer who got out of the backup cruiser opened fire on Lowe, who slumped over on his stomach and was handcuffed.

Police brutality

nawa oo.
His village people made sure they never sleep on his case.
Double Amputee committing Crime.

Morbid humour. But mehnnn. It's a bit serious the way Village People were hell bent on erasing this guy.

Haba! Only him ?

Hmmm🤔 While it is true that he had stabbed someone with a butcher's knife, I still think they could have subdued him without needing to shoot him. I mean, how hard can it be to disarm a man who has both of his legs amputated?

If a police detachment with back need to shoot a double amputee before they can arrest him(dead) then there is something wrong

I mean he’s amputee, why was there need to shoot him when they could have chased and subdued him

I am not supporting him stabbing someone I am just wondering how difficult it was for the police to resolve to this measure to arrest him

American cops too funny most of their videos on police activity on YouTube after them shoot finish them go still handcuff the deadbody

How far did he think he could go with his hoping

We need Rinu,Mr Macaroni and other EndSARS activitists in the US

So they shot him dead and still handcuff the dead body?
