A key eyewitness in the police shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, says that police told Blake to “drop the knife,” though he himself did not see Blake carrying a knife at the time.

The eyewitness has been identified by the Associated Press as Raysean White, and as the person who made the original cellphone video of the shooting.

The AP reported Tuesday:

The man who said he made the cellphone video, 22-year-old Raysean White, said he saw Blake scuffling with three officers and heard them yell, “Drop the knife! Drop the knife!” before the gunfire erupted. He said he didn’t see a knife in Blake’s hands.

White noise. Don’t you think if there was a weapon recovered we would have heard about it?

Reaching into the car after fighting the cops and ignoring them is how you get to live in a wheel chair and be fed through a tube for the rest of your life.

The Public has no idea he fought Cops and he was rolling around on the ground with three Cops.

Media Narrative rules.

Career Criminal

They withheld the Floyd video for a month.

“Don’t you think if there was a weapon recovered we would have heard about it?”

Most times.

But this time the police, their union and the DA are saying absolutely nothing. Nothing.

Neither are Wisc state investigators.

Commendably.

No, I think the MSM would purposely suppress any mitigating evidence.
Several stopped frames of the independent phone video show what appears to be a knife in the perp's right hand.
Either a knife or a strip of aluminum foil from his lunch box...

The taken down was legal. Using 7 shots to do so, questionable.

Is that the same guy that was filming it from his bedroom window and everyone was on the other side of the car and then walked around. You can not see everything that transpired because it is obscured by the car.
Effing cell phones.

It's likely that investigators are keeping a tight lid on information in order to weed out the false witnesses that are probably trying to give their side of the story.

When Michael Brown was shot in Ferguson, dozens of witness gave false accounts, which led the Grand Jury to know that the whole "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" narrative was a lie.

Yeah, ‘cause there’s so little else going on that the MSM is clamoring for a story that would argue against the narrative they’ve pushed for the last 3 months.

you get to live in a wheel chair and be fed through a tube for the rest of your life.

And the city of Kenosha will automatically make your family millionaires.

If it is a righteous shoot, the amount is inconsequential. The officer eliminates his threat, one shot or seven.
