Good work!
You’d think with all this focus on the police this officer would use restraint. Or he’s a Sorosis plant.
Doesn't it?
Doesn't it?
Another dead thug. Another riot.
Did the police know him? If so, they certainly could radio for his history. If they did so, they would know that he was a criminal with a history of gun violence.
It was difficult to watch, just like the initial bystander video of George Floyd. But violent criminal cases are indeed the most confused and opaque of all. Theres always a lot of background. Most people lack the intellectual curiosity, or are too lazy to pursue any further information though.
All I know is - you could not pay me enough to be a cop in any American inner-city.
I watched the video of Blake.
There was something about the way he acted that seemed familiar to me.
Then, I realized what it was.
He was acting like an NBA player.
As soon as he reached into the car, his life was forfeit. Id say the cops should have known that, and should have taken greater measures to see that he didnt get the car door open. Dudes lucky he lived.
Doesn’t matter. The demonic press has already framed the argument in the headlines: “White Cop shoots unharmed black man in back seven times.”
If he walked away from a legal police directive to stand still and then went into his car to potential retrieve a gun, all bets are off. Suicide by cop.
I think everyone’s premise is wrong.
Consider a new concept. Police officers have a right to go home to their families alive.
Ask yourself, how does the police officer get home alive if a person ignores you with a gun pointed at him, and reached into the car?
The officer has two choices at that point. He takes a chance that he doesn’t get to go to his family, or the other guy doesn’t’ go home to his family.
Remember the premise.......
irrelevant to the incident, however
“Youd think with all this focus on the police this officer would use restraint. Or hes a Sorosis plant.”
The police can see that there is a 99.9% chance they will lose their job and get prosecuted in this environment. I don’t get it either.
Hes a career criminal with outstanding warrants.
Last i heard the guy was still alive
