On July 22, Madison, Wisconsin police encountered a suspect, 38-year-old Corey Durrell Ruiz, who was reportedly trying to break into cars.
When they confronted the suspect, he resisted and reportedly pulled out a large kitchen knife, stabbing a cop.
One of the officers shot the suspect, killing him.
Ruiz reportedly has a long rap sheet, with social media users saying he appears in the state's CCAP system more than 40 times
Immediately afterward, Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong, who is the frontrunner in the Democratic primary for governor, called the shooting an "execution."
Not a single piece of evidence had been reviewed, including footage from nearby cameras and eyewitness video.
No, there won't be any body cam footage released, because the Madison city council has repeatedly blocked funding for them, despite the Madison PD Chief asking for body cams as recently as this month.
And that's because the leftists who run Madison, like their darling Francesca Hong, despise the police.
And now anti-cop protesters are threatening to kill officers.
Here's more:
Protestors hijacked the microphone at a police press conference about the death of Corey Durrell Ruiz, 38, who was shot dead by a cop after Ruiz knifed the officer during a struggle.
A woman held up a sign that read, “Corrupt cops deserve to die too!!
F–k you kill Peterson” — possibly referring to the city’s top cop, who had been speaking moments before.
“You’re gonna say the same thing you all say every time a black body gets shot down in this city!”
the man, who identified himself as Carlos Jackson, shouted before taking over the podium and ranting about corruption, revolution and “Zionists” for several minutes.
The pair were part of a group identifying themselves as “All Power to All People.”
Activists are also demanding the arrest of the officer and a review of the case by a "Civilian Oversight Committee," including disciplinary action.
It demonstrates, once again, that the Left would allow criminals like Ruiz to run free in our cities, terrorizing law-abiding citizens.
Ruiz was released from prison in May and did not comply with supervised release, according to the New York Post.
Why wasn't he behind bars where he belonged?
If he was serving the time for his crimes, he would still be alive.
