So much for the amateur sleuths who tried to tell us he had car keys in his hand, and why wasn't this released immediately? It's kinda important.

Can we expect all the news sources who described Blake as unarmed to issue Fact Checks?

DOJ officials said Kenosha police were dispatched to a residence near 28th Street and 40th Avenue after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.

Apparently had a restraining order against him too.

Ignored lawful orders from the cops-check
Attempted to access his car with kids inside-check.

Good shoot.

Wasn’t it Obama who said when they pull a knife you pull a gun?

Dems are still saying he was unarmed and the cops planted the knife. and even if he had a knife ..ya know.. it’s not like a real weapon. Shoulda listened to Obama’s advice about guns and knife fights.

During the investigation following the initial incident, Blake “admitted that he had a knife in his possession,” officials said.

And, he was getting into a car with kids, after a domestic altercation, when he already had an arrest warrant out involving a firearm.

This wont matter at all to the rioters, arsonists and anarchists trying to bring down the country. The Dems will also screech as if blacks are being killed in mass numbers by the police every night while ignoring black on black and black on other group killings. Example, other than for local news, anyone reported on the yesterday or today's killing of three white people by a black motorist after an, apparent,fender bender in Georgetown, SC?

Because nothing good was coming from that life.

Looks like a linoleum knife, possibly a kerambit.
