Guess it wasn’t enough to shoot cops in L.A. — or maybe BLM is mad the cops lived — because they are now actually making up fake outrages of police shooting an autistic child in Pennsylvania, which appears to already be starting a riot.
A Twitter user named Brett MacDonald discovered the tweets spreading the rumor, which is swirling all over in response to the shooting of an ADULT ARMED SUSPECT in the city of Lancaster.
Black Lives Matter is spreading some insane rumor that Lancaster, PA just shot and killed a 14-year-old with autism.
The man they shot was 28. If riots break out, this is the narrative they started.

“About to pop off” said that last tweet. That was correct, it has already started.
There’s more below, but first, here is what the police had to say about the shooting, via the Lancaster Online Facebook page. This is Lancaster police Chief Jarrad Berkihiser:
Our information at this time indicates that we have an adult male that is deceased, the male was reportedly armed with a knife at the time of the shooting.
He pleads with the community to maintain peaceful interactions and show restraint in waiting for the facts to come out. Note that the shooting was recorded by the officer’s body cam, so the facts will undoubtedly come out.
But BLM won’t be waiting for that. Here are more people spreading the rumor that it was a 14-year-old unarmed autistic child.

Nope he only had a knife and was also Autistic and they shot him 4 times

there needs to be more coverage on this. an autistic kid was shot, anyone trying to justify this by saying he had a knife is part of the problem. the POLICE shot him MULTIPLE times. Instead of trying to calm him down or hear him out they killed him. BLACK LIVES MATTER. https://t.co/PrhLBdnJNK

Even when they find out what the actual facts are, they stick with the fake story.

Here’s some footage from Lancaster Online’s Facebook page, describing people in the street throwing rocks at police and police vehicles, smashing windshields, making threats of more violence.
Large groups are reportedly gathering in other parts of Lancaster as well. And ominous tweets from the city abound.

UPDATE: So much for that 14-year-old unarmed autistic kid.
27 years old, bearded, knife-wielding maniac serial domestic abuser. That’s what they rioted for.
