Person drives into Chinese consulate in San Francisco and is killed by police after confrontation, authorities say

Winters [PD spokesperson] declined to say why police opened fire or whether the person killed was armed. Winters also did not say whether the crash was intentional or give any other information on the person or the incident.

According to Molchanov [bystander], the driver exited the car shouting, “Where is CCP?” — an apparent reference to the Chinese Communist Party. The driver then started to fight with security guards, he said.

“Terrified visitors, including myself, ran and then police arrived,” Molchanov added, noting he heard two gunshots.

bonus"This is a unique investigation because it did happen inside the lobby of the Chinese consulate so there’s a number of agencies and jurisdictions that are involved, so this is far different than our normal officer-involved shooting,” Winters said.

Can't dream up a more burgerpunk headline than this.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cars, media induced psychosis, police killing. Could use a strip mall maybe, but other than that no notes 10/10

There was no catastrophic infrastructure failure or some kind of incident where the floor caved in via a huge florida sinkhole, so idk

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

We got a burgerpsycho here!

If it was in Miami instead of San Francisco it would have been even more perfect.

So MSM made a deranged man to kill himself by cop.

Of course, most likelly the man could have been calmed down without killing him.

You used to be able to send a nice postcard to the consulate with some interest in literature/Xi and get literature back, idk if that's still the case.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah when I applied for my visa to visit China I told them how much I admire China. They sent me a book of Mao's quotations in English and I thought that was super sweet.

Sorry, they only have Chairmen I through X on rotation.

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait...so...the local police...WENT INTO THE CHINESE CONSULATE and, upon seeing the guy fighting with their security, notably Unshot!, PROCEEDED TO SHOOT HIM!

It's not an embassy, so they are in theory allowed inside. But why provoke a diplomatic incident by, again, shooting a man dead in the Chinese Consulate!

Also if the Chinese Government security guys can deal with a dude with a crossbow without killing him surely the US police can.

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

This is so incredibly American to the pointof self-parody 😂

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a miracle they didn't shoot anyone from the consulate
