Blake. I keep hearing protesters saying he wasn't doing anything.

It certainly is a good idea to be cooperative, but that doesn't mean cops that f.. up shouldn't be held responsible.

The only thing I wonder is:

Was it necessary to shoot him 7 times in the back ?

True but I not sure where or if that started. Should the cops have let a person with a felony arrest warrant for sexual assault drive off in a car with kids in it and a person that wasn't cooperating to boot? A car can be a deadly weapon and the cops wouldn't want to fire into a car with kids in it so they couldn't let him drive off.

True, and the rest is all speculation, but for the filmed seven shots.
Don't tasers work? Would have one shot been enough?

Ok yes i agree no one knows what happened exactly. Despite this, minor criminals can be arrested with less hazzle all over the world.

Blake wasn't bending over to get in his car ... He could've just slid in to do that

He was bending over to get his knife under the drivers side foot carpet, plus
FB photo shows a deadly knife that was hidden in his belt that he had just removed before he got to the drivers side of his car.

True FB could've passed on a photo shopped knife in his hand, but it looked real to me.

No easy situation.
Still: Three police officers, three x guns, tasers, pepper spray, handcuffs. And seven shots, from behind?
How do other (western) countries arrest minor criminals grabbing for a knife.

Buddahaid · 08-28-20, 05:25 PM

And he couldn't be allowed to get in the car. Bad for him because if cops have to shoot they don't screw around and one shot isn't enough to put someone down in many cases.

It is unfortunate that they couldn't subdue him and put cuffs on him. But they tried. Two tasers were used but didn't work. He wasn't shot seven times. Seven shots were fired, four hit him.

But the sad truth is that Jacob Blake was given every opportunity to have this turn out different. He chose not to. When police officers say that you are under arrest you should listen. When police officers have their guns drawn you should do exactly what they say.

Most people agree. If someone is wanted and resists arrest, then he's the one who screwed up.

Btw, is sexual assault a minor crime now?

Man, ain't that the truth. It just confirms my argument that it's mostly stupid people getting shot like this. We don't hear about the 10,000 people being stopped daily by the law because they don't act a fool.

I just love it that four bullets hit the perpetrator out of seven discharged at 'point-blank' range

...which means three rounds were not 'on-target'...in an car situation with three innocent children seated in the vehicle!

Jacob Blake, the black man shot in the back by police in the US state of Wisconsin, has reportedly been released from handcuffs while in hospital.

Police in Kenosha had said that Mr Blake was in custody for previous warrants and the handcuffs were policy.

His attorney told US media that these warrants had been cancelled and that officers guarding Mr Blake had left.

As predicted, Chauvin's lawyer is already arguing the case should be dismissed because Floyd died from an overdose of Fentanyl:

Quote:

Defense attorneys sought to put the blame on Floyd for his death, arguing that his alleged drug use was the critical factor.

"Put simply, Mr. Floyd could not breathe because he had ingested a lethal dose of fentanyl and, possibly, a speedball," Chauvin's attorney said in the court documents. "Combined with sickle cell trait, his pre-existing heart conditions, Mr. Floyd’s use of fentanyl and methamphetamine most likely killed him."

They argued that without knowledge of Floyd's alleged drug use or symptoms of overdose, Chauvin "was unaware of the potential dangerous of using MRT (Maximal Restraint Technique)," a reference to the officer's knee on the victim's neck.

"Instead, he (Chauvin) relied on his training and the information available to him to try and assist his fellow officers and to prevent Mr. Floyd from harming himself," the defense attorneys argued. "Derek Chauvin did not cause George Floyd’s death."

This will most likely end up with some sort of plea deal.
