policeaccountability:JUSTICE FOR WALTER WALLACE JROn October 26th, 2020, Walter was experiencing a manic bipolar episode, leading his family to call 911 to request an ambulance three times. Police visited the family’s house but would not take Walter to the hospital. One of those times, Walter’s mother reports, officers “stood there and laughed at us”. Just before 4pm, someone called 911 and reported that Walter was waving around a knife erratically. When police arrived, Walter’s mother again told them that Walter had mental health issues. Yet, when Walter walked outside with a knife, officers immediately aimed their guns at him as they yelled at him to drop it. Walter’s mother and at least one man followed Walter and tried to convince him to listen to the officers, but being in a mentally altered state, he did not listen and continued walking towards the officers. The officers then opened fire and shot at least 14 times at Walter, killing him. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Protestors have been out in the streets demanding justice for Walter for days.
