Nothing in that story absolves the officers of attempted murder. They had multiple officers and could have incapacitated Mr. Blake had they really tried. They probably tased him where he had some protective clothing and needed to tase his bare skin.
This was maybe true like 10 or longer years ago... Now any time anything happens, there are immediately huge internet mobs running around using every shred of evidence they can to build up a narrative about both parties. If that werent the case you wouldnt know that guy was at a Trump rally, or that he punched someone, or that he wanted to be a cop.Whenever a woman is raped, we hear questions about what she did, what she said, what she wore. Her past history is inspected for supposed bad behavior, even normal youth behavior. We don't hear what the rapist did or all about his past.
When a Black person is shot by cops or vigilantes we hear all about his/her past behavior. Did the cop or vigilantes have a history of racism? Excessive force? Bad temper? Turn victim into criminal and criminal into victim.
Speaking of criminals, the young Trumper charged with killing two protesters (both white BTW) was caught on video last month sucker punching a young woman. He is a hero on the right for allegedly murdering two people.
no way does that prove anything when they are within arms reach. How easy would it be to stab backwards while still standing there but turning at the same time. I could do it in an instant right now in the kitchen with a kitchen knife.
What ive been addressing is how the situation gets there in the first place and how it could have been avoided several stops along the way, PRIOR to they cop making the wrong choice to shoot him 7 times.
None of you want to discuss that and that's telling....you must all want some sort of civil war or something because without being candid about all aspects, you are inviting the extremists out of the woods to defend the cops because no one else is condemning the victims actions prior to him being shot. And they should be.
We MUST discuss both and figure out solutions to both, or we will not have equal justice.
They probably don't carry them around typically. They take up space needed for supplies they need for the most dangerous situations like cameras, radios, shotguns, body armor, first aid kits and so onWhy don't cops use those bean bag shotguns anymore?
One of those to Blakes back at that range would have stomped him.
Ask any woman.This was maybe true like 10 or longer years ago... Now any time anything happens, there are immediately huge internet mobs running around using every shred of evidence they can to build up a narrative about both parties. If that werent the case you wouldnt know that guy was at a Trump rally, or that he punched someone, or that he wanted to be a cop.
With Chauvin and George Floyd most people fairly informed could write biographies for both.
With the shooter in WI, we know within a week so much about his life that it seems a weird argument to make that we did hear about people like thats past because we certainly do at this point.
Ok find me a case blown up in the media of rape or something else I guess in the last ten or so years where when it came out we didnt know within weeks the life story of the victim and perp. Sorry but the idea that only the victims life is strewn out in public is just false at this point. Anything that touches the mainstream all of those involved have their lives thrown out into the open. Thats the age of social media and cameras every where.Ask any woman.
Click on it...?Link?
Click on it...?
Edit: sorry maybe Im misunderstanding are you asking for a news article or something?
I didnt label him as anything that was just the title of the video. Its not exactly far fetched though.All of those articles or the video don't identify the person.
Saying that he is a member of BLM muchless a leader doesn't seem factual or fair.
He's a man on a mic talking shit.
Hell, I was on a mic at a De La Soul concert once, it doesn't make me a member of the group or their leader.

Back in October, during the fight over who should replace John Boehner as speaker of the House, Erick Erickson wrote that, “given Washington these days, I think the default should be to burn it to the ground (metaphorically speaking).” Joe Miller, onetime GOP Senate candidate in Alaska, wrote, “I will endorse the first 2016 candidate to make ‘burn it down’ their campaign theme.” He was in luck. Mike Huckabee’s short-lived campaign ran an ad declaring, “Let’s burn down the Washington political machine!” In New Hampshire Chris Christie said, “I’m angry, too. I want to burn Washington down because it’s so ineffective.”
I do. I think it was part poor training part legit fear brought on by having lost a scuffle with a man resisting arrest, then going to his car to grab something. I don't see how anyone could think it wrong of the officer at that point not to assume he is going for a weapon. DO you think he was going for some chewing gun? a white Flag? I mean we must use common sense, just like its common sense that the cop didn't have to shoot 7 times. But what happened first? The victim resisting arrest and based on the timeline, the shooting never would have happened if the victim would not have been disobedient. And that's a fact based on the timeline. To not hold the victim part responsible is just not equal justice.
Yes, the cop could and should have avoided shooting seven times, but the victim could and should have avoided getting shot all together based on the cops having guns drawn and not pulling the trigger to begin with, if he would have just not resisted. Anyone not admitting this is not being fair.
I am keenly aware that there are multiple parties who want to profit off of a civil war in the US and have been fine-tuning their weapons of divisiveness for a while. Nothing surprising to see here.I never said you labeled him or the video.
Burn the system down is hardly the same.

A few years back, I needed to borrow a tool from my sister's house. They were on a roadtrip, but I had a key. I walked in, and realized they had set their alarm, and I had forgotten the code. I entered it in wrong a few times. I tried calling them, to get the code, but they were out of cell reception. So, I figured I would just go find the tool in the basement, shining my light around. Cops show up, because, alarm, no code. I walk out. Hey, it's my sister's house. Oh, yeah, probably so or you would have ran. Ok, carry on.
Guess my skin color?
Purple?
Why is it that whenever you disagree with someone, they always become "hard to have a conversation with?"no I didnt, this is why you are so hard to have a conversation with. You twist things and put words in my mouth. You answer questions with questions and sidestep/dismiss the questions directed at you more often than not.
Quote me where I said Its okay for a cop to KILL when uncertain? Second, Im stating that the cop had legit right to assume the victim was going for a weapon based on the situation and guess what? the cop was right in his assumption.
I NEVER said cops can just kill when uncertain. Now please stop twisting things or we are done with this convo.
The initial reports that caused a huge sports shutdown were... quite a bit off....
we are a hasty, kneejerk country that has lost the ability to withhold judgement until all facts are divulged....
its so fing concerning that its this mentality that is gonna continue to accelerate clashes and all out civil war will soon follow. It will likely turn into a racial war even when both sides will have people who love all, on them.
This is just insane and we are sheeple following media twisted headlines because the media are paid conglomerate puppets of those in power behind the scenes, financially.
we have got to fight these kneejerk incorrect headlines and we must excersize more patience in our judgements of things.
no way Blake deserved to be shot seven times.
Its also no way the cops should have been forced to make a decision to shoot in the first place, if Blake wouldn't have resisted.
there are two wrongs two be discussed here.
We must not. We CANNOT ignore either side or we will never have equal justice.
Why don't you research it? Not my job to tutor hostile men who have deliberately chosen to support racism and misogyny, especially since I doubt you're really interested.Ok find me a case blown up in the media of rape or something else I guess in the last ten or so years where when it came out we didnt know within weeks the life story of the victim and perp.

You wrote this post wrong.
Put this first: "no way Blake deserved to be shot seven times."
Then all your nonsense about media and sheep will fall into place.
Yes the cop shooting is a bigger deal but how did they get there? From continual disobedient suspects such as Blake.
Its called conditioning.
Then why else did you create this thread? Was it for the veiled attacks and condescension? Or was it just to vent nonsense?i have said it many many times yet the echo chamber here wants to act as though im condoning it...
