New footage shows double amputee who was shot by cops after he jumped from wheelchair, stabbed a man

BPR: California police have released video footage of a double amputee man who jumped out of his wheelchair, chased a stranger, and stabbed him with a 12-inch butcher knife before police caught up with him, shooting and killing the suspect as he swung the knife at them.

The footage clearly shows Anthony Lowe Jr., a 36-year-old father-of-two and a double amputee, chasing a man and stabbing him in the torso on the sidewalk after jumping out of his wheelchair at a Shell gas station. Moments later police shot and killed him.

The victim is in critical condition and claims he did not know Lowe. He thought he was punched, but he was stabbed below his armpit, puncturing his lung. He realized he had been stabbed as blood gushed out and he stumbled into the street. MORE

  1. When I did advocacy for people with disabilities I always told others who were new to the game taht just because someone is disabled that doesn’t mean they aren’t a total asshole. Remember, you don’t owe them a Goddamned thing. Don’t put up with any of their shit and particularly if they are going to put you in danger.

  2. Wait… wait… wait! This case has legs.
    Why didn’t they just shoot him in the leg? FJB
    Is this what they mean by ‘chimping out’?
    ‘The Black Knight’ lives!!

    I apologize for all the above in advance 😉
