Kenosha police union gives its account of Jacob Blake shooting

Its called preemptively taking out the threat. But apparently he's still alive? Then what's the fuss? Should they have let a violent rapist felon attack them? Should they have let said violent rapist violate the victim? I'm trying to figure out how the progressive peacekeepers would've kept the peace without force to counter force.

 

You said immunity clause....not qualified immunity....obviously Govt personal need that protection...it's not absolute though...there are ways to get beyond it.

 

If you don't know about it, you shouldn't be posting about it, let alone your petty semantics

 

I know all about Qualified Immunity....the immunity clause is what I didn't know about....which you incorrect called the legal doctrine of Qualified Immunity

 

I'd have rather the cops do what they do in most other developed countries and that is to use the gun last. Their were more then one. Grab him, and put him on the ground. If they couldn't reach him before he got the knife, then pistols out. Last resort, not second after the taser.

Only in America.

Who said he was innocent? He violated a restraining order. It's the "shooting him in the back 7 Times' I have an issue with

I don't care who he is. His background is immaterial to my point. Use the tools that most other countries police have been able to figure out.

Yeah see all my response above

 

Did you read it? The police ordered him to drop the knife several times...AFTER attempting to subdue him with a taser. How do you expect police to react to that? Just let him go?

 

He was shot twice with a taser and kept fighting at one point having a cop in a headlock. I'd have shot him a lot sooner.

 

Do you have the slightest clue what happened before the few seconds of video that shows him getting shot? And his background is very relevant because the cops went on knowing this guy is violent!!! And they tried to subdue him. The guy shook off the tasers. Shook off the cops. He had plenty of chances to surrender. Bullets were the only thing that was going to stop someone acting like an animal.

 

Ah...he was shot with a tazer, apparently one or both of the electrode failed to penetrate his skin.....now what? 1) Allow him to speed off with his innocent children in the car? 2) Or maybe allow him to use his knife on the kids? 3) Or keep shooting him in the lower back till he stops trying? Which one do you choose?

 

Just drop it. It's not part of the narrative, and the narrative is more important than facts. He was killed by thug, racist cops and he was innocent. End of story. Any other account is racist and a clear sign of systemic racism.

You'd think I'm kidding

 

He was not in possession of the knife when he was shot by the police, they said found the knife on the floor of his vehicle.

 

You mean he wasn't just getting in his car to take his kids to McDonald's for a Happy Meal and the police just drove up and got out and shot him in the back?

 

But let's honor him at the MLK celebration in front of the Lincoln memorial.

 

The officers saw the knife during the struggle on the ground and TASED him twice, opening the door to the vehicle and reaching inside gave cause for the police to use their firearms to stop him and put him down.

 

Do you mean the white people who are the descendants of the white ancestors who committed the greatest acts of genocide ever seen at that time which nearly caused the extinction of native Americans, the white ancestors who made Hitler look like an enthusiastic amateur?

 

You can point to history all you like, I am not responsible for any of that nor does it make any sense to support the racism that is directed at me irrationally due to the anger of history. You have no idea who my descendants are, nor would that make it rational to hold me accountable for their actions regardless. Yet that is what so many are try to do. Its the driving force behind this new hate of white people.

The reality is, in present day, white people deal with more racism than anyone else in America.

Racism overall is a nonissue spread throught propaganda to make people believe its a huge issue. However, of the racism that does exist, most of it is directed at white people, not coming from them.

 

in socialist countries like canada they allow the criminal to get his weapon

America preemptively stops terror

 

Sometimes you can know something is possible but until you really SEE it play out in stark reality it doesn't affect you like it should.

The video below shows why you don't let an arrested perpetrator ignore your commands and reach into his car. Watch this video and put yourself in the officer's position. This is why no charges are likely to be brought against the officer who shot Mr. Blake.

 

Incorrect, that is simply what you wish to believe about me.

You will never be able to arrest Trump, that is simply a delusion.

 

Resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, making moves that very likely could show endangerment will improve the odds of your getting shot

 

Has the policeman who shot Jacob Blake in the back 7 times been arrested yet?
If not, what are they waiting for? He belongs in JAIL WITH NO BAIL. He needs to remain in JAIL until his trial.

 

Police are supposed to make arrests. They are NOT supposed to be judge, jury and executioner.

 

So you imply they are not permitted to take actions that insure their own safety? It would seem that way. What do you think will happen when an unarmed Social Worker is sent to arrest a man who has sexually assaulted a mother while sleeping with her children in an attempt to keep him from doing it again? Will he just talk him down? Do you just allow the assaults to keep taking place like the Mayor of Portland does? It would be interesting to know your solutions!

 

I am not against the police making a needed arrest. I am against them killing people when they don't have to.

 

1. Investigators have not said he was reaching for a knife either

2. No, the difference between being armed and unarmed is not splitting hairs

3. By all accounts it would seem that Blake was attempting to flee the scene, this is what was described in the 9-11 call seconds before police arrived, and contrary to what some have suggested, Blake did in fact enter the driver's side of his vehicle, with exception of his left leg. His right leg was inside the vehicle with the rest of his body, indicating that he was in fact attempting to step inside the vehicle. He had to be removed from the driver's side of the vehicle after he had been shot in the back
