Empty wheelchair of man shot by police in San Francisco...
The AP is reporting that San Francisco police say a knife-wielding man in a wheelchair stabbed an officer before the attacker was shot.
The suspect and wounded officer are in the hospital with non life-threatening wounds,which is surprising because most cop would riddle your body with bullets if you even threatened to stab them!

Investigators on the scene of the 'wheelchair-shooting'...
Chief Gascon used the press conference on this “wheelchair shooting” to reiterated his support for Tasers, which the police commission previously rejected.(Source)
The police did not have a Taser to apprehend the subject, so what else could they have done to stop the wheelchair attacker?
The man who was shot in the wheelchair has a history of mental problems.(Source-Graphic Video)
Could he have been apprehended in any other way?…I mean,he is in a wheelchair, so it’s not like he was going to run away?!?!

Hate to side with the police on this one. I know several homies in wheelchairs and they are fearless they feel they got nothing to lose and if you have ever slap boxed with a nigga in a wheel chair they are hella strong and can spring up out of the chair on you, thats prolly how that first cop got stabbed, scared they bitch asses for real !
