A white police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin opened fire on an unarmed Black man who was simply walking away from him -- shooting him point-blank seven times ... and it's all on video.
You see the man walking away from a few officers ... who appear to be telling him to stop, with guns drawn. He makes his away around a car in a nonthreatening manner, he opens the door and attempts to get inside. One of the cops grabs hold of his shirt, and for some inexplicable reason, he unloads seven rounds at arm's length. The victim was flown to a hospital and has been listed as being in serious condition.
Protests are now growing by the minute. Many are demanding the swift arrest of the officer who fired the shots.

Remember when the news media reported the facts and you'd decide how you feel about it?
Now they tell you how to feel and you need to figure out what actually happened (see: George Fentaloyd)
Inexplicably? The guy ignored orders and placed his hands out of view of the officers.
so far
“ simply walking away from him”
Stopped right there.
It’s almost like it was a complete set-up...
There’s still time
TMZ is an anti-white, anti-Trump, black supremacist garbage site. Good for entertainment, but hopelessly biased.
Every cop in Kenosha should quit tomorrow. In two weeks the black community would be begging for their return.
Were both cheeks full of fentanyl and blowing a bubble with it.
Sometimes, but don’t discount some of these events being simple opportunism during an election season.
We all know that shooting happens sometimes simply because there are bad characters out there. But if those events happen in an election year where people are motivated to gain their moments of fame and thus advance careers, they will jump at it. And they will do so precisely because this is the opportune time to “wave the bloody shirt” so to speak.
It’s a feedback loop being set up. Cops are demonized and attacked, leading more people to ignore lawful orders, which leads to shoots, which leads to more riots and cops being demonized and attacked, etc etc etc.
TMZ doesn’t know what might have been in that vehicle or what the man might have said to the police before trying to get into that vehicle. Even if there was any wrongdoing, that would be no excuse for riots with violence against innocent people and property.
Law-abiding people are probably reaching the end of their tolerance for the senseless riots encouraged by Democrats.
Exactly. What was he going for in the car?
Have the moderator put this in breaking news as this event is going to be real big and it’ll be used as an excuse for more rioting, looting, killing and mayhem against white folk. These people will not care about the fact this is part of law enforcement tactics and procedures and they’ll never see this as a legitimate shoot. In there eyes it will be murder and want the cop hung.
Hmmm. 7 times? Was it officer restraint or a .45?
Should they have just waited until he retrieved a firearm or drove off?
I saw a twitter comment where the person speculated that antifa has infiltrated law enforcement agencies and that George Floyd was murdered for the sole purpose of an excuse for rioting.
This could be more of the same.
Life is cheap for democrats. I would not put it past them to offer up a sacrificial lamb once i a while just to keep the narrative going.
Bingo. You can always arrest him later. I bet there wasn’t a gun in the car.
> This appears to be a legitimate shoot. You can’t let a suspect enter or reach into a vehicle, store or home. <
Wait, what? Let’s say I’m on my front porch and I’m having an angry verbal argument with a police officer. Maybe I just did something bad, like punching a neighbor. But I am unarmed. Then I turn to go into my house. Should the cop shoot?
