This story quotes one of the bystanders who filmed the Jacob Blake police shooting. He states that, while he did not see a knife, the Kenosha officers were yelling at Mr. Blake to "drop the knife." Hmm....Discuss.

Pic exists of him rounding his hood with a blade in his hand

He was going to get a gunnhe had in the truck, thats whathe was telling the officers, thst he had a gun and he was going to go get it

He had an arrest warrant out at the time, domestic violence call

These are the most dangerous calls to respond to

He proves why that is true

He had a low IQ. Arguing with a cop will do that.

You can see that he had something in his hand, which he had taken out of the back of his waistband, and then just as he goes to the car door, you can see him drop something on the ground and the cop behind him reaching towards it.

So he probably did have a knife, which he dropped so he wouldn’t be considered armed (he had a warrant on him, and this would have complicated it).

I don’t know what he was reaching for in the car.

I guess we’ll find out more, because the children and I think his girlfriend were in the car and would have seen it all.

It’s very common for cops to do this in order to create a narrative that supports their side.

Isn't there a riot you should be attending tonight?

Guy (drawing momentary blank) filling in for Rush today
stated that 40% of all officer deaths, are the result
of domestic disturbance calls.

If he had a knife the cop would have never have gotten that close to the suspect near the driver door. I certainly wouldn’t.

It was also mentioned on the Rush Limbaugh show today, that
this guy had priors for guns in his vehicles.

When they were murdering George Floyd.

That remains to be determined.
My current view is that he died from the drugs he consumed.

His Rap Sheet broke the Printer.

Those that consider themselves enemies of the Police are enemies of Society.

He wrestled and fought three Police officers, including a woman.

Wanted man attacks Police, disregards lawful orders - and will come back as high or drunk.

That damn man in the mirror got him.
