Another day, another riot. – A new riot broke out in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday after police shot a black man multiple times in the back as he was resisting arrest. Sound familiar? Video of the incident pretty clearly shows the man was unarmed, at least while he was outside his car, and the police officers on the scene appeared to warn him repeatedly as he opened the driver’s side door of his car and bent down to reach for something on the floor of the vehicle.
Naturally, craven Democrats like Texas’s Julian Castro weighed into the situation to try to grab some political advantage:
VDO.AI Tragically, the man was shot in front of his screaming children. The man, Jacob Blake, is currently in serious condition at a local hospital.
The airwaves today will no doubt be filled with scripted testimonies from friends and family about what a great, God-fearing man Mr. Blake is. As is frequently the case, the truth about Mr. Blake is another matter:
But hey, the Democrats and media managed to turn George Floyd into a saint who deserved 5 funerals over a span of 9 days, and most Americans bought it even though Floyd had a rap sheet as long as your arm and was a serial woman abuser. How hard can it be to give Mr. Blake the same treatment?
As is always the case, the best way for anyone – black, white, brown or anything else – to avoid being shot by the police is to avoid resisting arrest. Apparently, the police weren’t even attempting to arrest Blake – they were only trying to question him. Official statistics show that well over 90% of Black people who are shot by police were shot while resisting arrest and/or brandishing a firearm. Corrupt politicians like Mr. Castro and their despicable toadies in the news media only increase the frequency of these tragic incidents and put many more lives in danger by attempting to justify that behavior.
This ongoing campaign by the Democrats and media leads directly to this:
Was this shooting justified? We don’t know yet. Would it have happened had Mr. Blake simply cooperated with the police? We do know the answer to that question, don’t we?
That is all.
That is not all. Look at this.

And watch the video again.

Notice that when the camera first zooms in, on the other side of the vehicle, the police and one other individual jump back away from the suspect. The police draw their weapons while quickly backing away.
Then as the suspect is walking around the front of the vehicle, see what appears to be an object in his hand (the photo behind the first link above). Is that a blade? A knife with a short, curved blade (for disemboweling) is popular with convicted felons (YouTube).
More information needed, such as the status of other options on the spectrum from “pulling on the man’s shirt” to “shooting the man 7 times.”
Before he gets to his vehicle.
I’m flying a Thin Blue Line Flag on my house and I just put one on my Car, but Wifey says when she goes to the store she’s taking it off.
Can someone tell me why black people tend not to listen to instructions from police?
Always the case. Next the media will say he had his hands up, er not this time because he was shot in the back (as if he were running away).
Perhaps they need to offer a K-12 course on listening and obeying law enforcement during traffic stops etc.
Because in school, they quickly learn they don’t have to listen to instructions from teachers.
Easy to note that thr riot for the 5 year old boy executed by the BLM saint hasn’t surfaced yet.
If the cops were armed with baseball bats and hockey sticks they would have less need to shoot a perp with warrants from trying to retrieve a weapon from his car.
Because up until he tried to enter the car, shooting was not justified.
The Trump-hating MSM is feverishly working on their narrative:
Unarmed black man shot seven times in the back in front of his children as he enters his car...killer cops influenced by Trump’s white supremacist sympathies.
Washington Post is already stressing he was simply “entering his car”.
