Remember Pizzagate? The QAnon thing under which the Dems, led of course by Hillary Clinton, were sexually abusing kids at a pizza restaurant in suburban DC, and one man went there and fired shots and rescued all those poor kids? He was taken into custody; no-one was injured; and we all assumed he was some poor nutcase led astray by QAnon and provided he took his meds, was probably no danger to anyone.
Well.
I don't celebrate anyone's death. Even when they are killed by the police in what appears, at first glance, to be a justified shooting. Seriously, WTF?The man, Edgar Maddison Welch, 36, of Salisbury, N.C., was a passenger in a car on Saturday night when an officer with the Kannapolis [NC] Police Department recognized him from a prior arrest and believed there was an outstanding warrant over a felony probation violation, Chief Terry L. Spry of the Kannapolis Police Department said in a statement on Thursday. When the officer confirmed his suspicion and went to arrest him, Mr. Welch pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the officer, the police said.
The police officer and a second officer ordered Mr. Welch to put his gun down. When he did not comply, they shot at him, the department said. Mr. Welch died on Monday at a hospital in Charlotte as a result of his injuries.
