Yes, I think we would have.

its always the case.. they wont comply and then they say there was no cause.
they have an attitude... but no cause...
“If it is a righteous shoot, the amount is inconsequential. The officer eliminates his threat, one shot or seven.”
You shoot until the threat is no longer a threat.
This shooting is very troubling, to say the least. Shooting the guy in the back at least seven times is wrong in so many ways. In front of his kids, on one of their birthdays no less. He was not armed by all accounts, was not attacking the police officers, etc. He was not shot in self-defense or to protect others. He’s not dead, so not murder yet, but should be when you read what little is left of the guy and imagine what his future is likely going to be.
The Riot has nothing to do with this guy being shot it was all prepared and waiting for the signal
My first impression is sunglasses, not a knife. And no police report says there was a knife.
I’ve seen one, hard to tell- but regardless, a witness heard the police yelling to drop the knife- the man refused, and then reached into the car- He escalated the whole situation into a deadly encounter for not complying- for thinking he was above the law-
It’s sick that the mayor came out in support of this sexual predator, who was fighting the police, ignoring orders, doing wrong- acting like a punk thug- but the cop, who was out doing the right thing, in another incident, who was brutally hit in the head with a brick ,the mayor there never came out in support of
Watch the video. The dude was still on his feet even after taking all those shots.
“Don’t you think if there was a weapon recovered we would have heard about it?”
Just like if he has a violent criminal record we would have heard about it? No, we won’t hear anything that could incriminate Saint Jacob in his responsibility towards this incident.
I’m sure he was carrying a knife, but that picture doesn’t do any good. You can’t see jack.
Bodycams will show more, but the cops are being dumb again by withholding this information, by then the narrative will already been written. The truth does not matter to the MSM.
You’re not keeping up, are you?
Have you got a link to this new video? The one I have seen has his arm dangling beneath the door. Had he gotten up then, there would have been more shots than seven.
How so? Was there a knife? Apparently not. Was the guy charging the police, definitely no. They shot a fleeing man seven times in the back. IN THE BACK.
There is no bodycam, and that pic, along with the officers yelling drop the knife, prior to him bending into his car, would be enough for me as a jurist.
It looks like a karambit.
Look at the still of him walking around the front of the car. He has something in his hand.
There is now an earlier video from the other side of the car. He was fighting the police before he shrugged them off and came around in his tone deaf strut. Ignoring all commands, he opens his door and then leans down and reaches into car.
Do you deny if he'd complied when the cops when first approached, that he would still be whole?
Yes, I think we would have.
One video shows a knife in his hand (police say right hand. Video image is probably reversed because it shows the knife in his left hand).
This guy was a threat to everyone.
His lawyer, Bernard Crump, is the “Al Sharpton” con-artist of the legal world, replacing Garregos, Allred, Avenatti, etc.
Karambits work better in reverse grip, crosdaddy need to show the homeboy how to work it.
