Kenosha’s Democrat mayor has been there for years. It’s on him, not on Trump, nor on Trump voters.

As soon as the subject bent over inside the vehicle ,all bets were off. He completely disregarded the police at scene. The officer just has to articulate ,that he felt he now in danger of imminent bodily harm. Case law on that.

> 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.

Don’t forget “and had taken a likely lethal amount of fentanyl and said ‘I can’t breath’ before he was taken to the ground.”

I am fully supportive of police. I have no special knowledge of this event other than what I saw on the video clip.

But, looked at with blank slate eyes, this looks bad. Not as in a “bad shoot,” but just in the eyes of an already jaded public. (This, even knowing the subject had complete safety in his own hands, had he simply followed police directives.)

The way this incident is being reported in the Mainstream Media is itself an incitement to riot.

Should we only hire psychics to serve as police officers from now on? I suppose so, because the way this story is being framed the cop was supposed to somehow know that this guy who was going for his vehicle in spite of repeated tasings and orders to stop was not reaching for a weapon.

Compare this to the encounter in Georgia:

Guns involved. No shooting. No riots.
Must not have been in an election year.

How not to get shot by the police.

1. STOP DOING ILLEGAL SHIT!

2. OBEY THE POLICE! When they say stop, you freaking stop! Don’t keep going to get into your car or go into your house (where there is possibly a gun or so you can drive over the cops).

3. DON’T RUN FROM COPS! They hate chasing your ass down. If you make them, you piss them off and at very least you are going to get body slammed to the ground.

4. DO NOT EVER, EVER REACH FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR A GUN! The cop often cannot see what you are reaching for be it a cell phone or pacifier for the baby. Don’t even ask to reach for something. Cops deal with criminals all day, this makes them jumpy at times.

From the what I could see of the video, when the guy gets into the car, it mirrors the George Floyd arrest body cam. In that video, the officer drew his sidearm only because Floyd did not obey his order and continued to reach for something in the car. When Floyd showed him his hands, he holstered his weapon.

Looks like media is suppressing this as a headline this morning because it will lead to more Trump support. As in “the rest of the story”, stories now including Floyd, are coming out in the open. Winning!

That is not all. Look at this.

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3877132/posts?page=98#98

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?

Easy to note that thr riot for the 5 year old boy executed by the BLM saint hasn’t surfaced yet.

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”.
