Black Lives Matter Activist Shot and Killed by Off-Duty Police Officer During Home Invasion
In one of the more bizarre stories to emerge from the last few days of rage, St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that a former Affton High School football standout forced his way into a South County home and was shot and killed by an off-duty officer inside after a Facebook dispute over Black Lives Matter apparently boiled over late Saturday afternoon.
As Nox and Friends summarizes the shocking incident, Gebhard had argued with the cop about Black Lives Matter on Facebook. The unidentified cop and Gebhard knew each other through church. He was shot after he threatened the officer’s wife after she wouldn’t let him in the home and threw a planter through the window.
According to the accounts of police and an uncle of Tyler Gebhard, reported by the St. Louis Dispatch, the young man had been struggling with the recent deaths of several African-Americans at the hands of police across the country. "He walked over there to beat some sense into that racist white cop," Gebhard's uncle, Patrick Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. "When he got there, he was met with a gun and the thug killed him without even firing a warning shot." Authorities said Gebhard, 20, and the officer were acquainted, and Gebhard made Facebook threats to the officer's family and “uninvolved members of the community” in advance of the Saturday encounter with the unidentified officer.
Gebhard threw a 50-pound concrete planter through the window and entered the Lakeshire residence as the officer's wife, mother-in-law and two young children struggled to escape through a bedroom window, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. He charged for the wife and children, attempting to injure them. The off-duty officer then shot and killed Gebhard.
"I don't believe the officer had a choice” Belmar told reporters on Saturday, labeling the situation “a very difficult position to be in.” Lakeshire, with about 1,400 residents, has just 11 streets and is 0.2 square miles. In November, officers shot and killed a man in the tiny community after he attacked family members with a hammer and knife.
The Affton School District notes that Gebhard had been disciplined and arrested on school grounds at the age of 14 for assaulting a police officer with a baseball bat as well as at the age of 18 for criminal possession of a firearm on school grounds. Despite his school and arrest record, several individuals vouched for his character. "He was a good boy," said Nikki Toal, a family friend and resident of Waterloo. "He was trying to turn his life around and didn't even get the chance."
“He didn't do nothing,” said Tyreese Cobbleton, friend of Gebhard.
Gebhard and the police officer he befriended at a local church had clashed recently on Facebook over his nephew's support of Black Lives Matter. Gebhard, who was biracial, supported the cause and was an active participant in the protest movement, according to reports.
His Facebook page contains numerous posts about police shootings of black men and the deaths of five officers in Dallas at the hands of a gunman targeting white officers. Some devolve into heated arguments and warnings of a "race war against whites." Some posts are concerning, calling for blacks to assault whites for no apparent reason.
But an online disagreement over the issues brought Gebhard to the Lakeshire home shortly before 6 p.m. Belmar said Gebhard tossed the planter through the back window after being rebuffed by the officer's wife at the front door. She hid with other family members, including a toddler and an infant, as the off-duty officer went to check on the disturbance.
Members of the family in the bedroom said they heard the officer tell the intruder to “get down, get down, get down,” and then heard several shots fired, Belmar said.
Gebhard was shot twice in the chest. He was pronounced dead at St. Anthony’s Hospital. The officer is a three-year veteran of the department who is now on administrative leave, Belmar said. Gebhard lived in the 7900 block of Navajoe Street in the Affton area.
Brogan said the circumstances of his nephew's death are all the more painful because several members of Gebhard's extended family have been shot by law enforcement before.
"We are grieving in our family because it was senseless," Brogan said. "It was a senseless death, no reason the officer should have used lethal force."

I think they should just put him in a cell with a bunch of black guys, while he is waiting to be executed.

Let me see if I get this straight?
The BLM activist unlawfully enters this policeman's house, where his wife, mother in Law and his children were, he enters the house attempting to do harm to them and is shot dead by the home owner who happens to be a cop?
And there is a problem with this?
I say give the cop a metal for saving his families lives and taking a thug out of society.
One less dirt-bag off the streets.
