Can someone tell me how in the FUCK this narrative was allowed to continue after we learned that this Jacob Blake fuckhead was reaching for a god damn knife after brawling with the police? And further, that he was wanted for sexual assault and was in the middle of another violent crime against a woman? This isn't even a Fentanyl Floyd situation where maybe people can misunderstand what was happening.
THE COP SHOT AN ARMED PERPETRATOR AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION PEACEFULLY
This kind of blatant manipulation of the facts is going to drive me to live off the grid, I swear to God.
I think the Blake shooting is a perfect example of bad policing. Why not take him down earlier instead of letting him walk all over the place and over to his car? I guess hindsight is 20/20, but it really seems like poorly trained police allow situations like this to escalate even though they have all the physical power in the world to control the situation.
That being said, I'm not shedding any tears for a man like Blake being paralyzed so he can no longer rape and assault people (I'm sure he'll find a way though). And it's ridiculous how antifa and BLM are allowed to loot and riot every time something controversial like this happens.
I'm not a huge fan of cops after they started civil asset forfeiture and enforcing red flag laws, so maybe I'm biased.
I dunno man. Their tasers didn't work and the dude was screaming out that he had a knife.
Maybe they would have, 6 months ago.
Black people know that everyone is trying extra hard not to be racist so they think they can get away with stuff. Like a spoiled brat ignoring their parents, they don't listen when police say Stop! put your hands up ... then everyones shocked when they're shot. Same old tired story...
