Interesting concept. Several yards apart and the guy is holding a knife and... He is still several yards away with a knife.
No doubt if he was white he would be told to drop the knife several times, not shot in the back without any weapon in his hand.
On what basis do you make this claim that a white man would have been treated differently? More white people are killed by cops than black people. Also, how do you know what was or wasn't said with regards to the police telling him to drop the knife?
And still, the fact remains Blake chose to go to his vehicle and reach inside. When cops have guns drawn on you, you are virtually begging them to shoot you if you do such a thing. Another aspect to consider is that domestic disputes are the most dangerous calls police officers respond to.-

And what helped draw all the militiamen to Kenosha? According to the article -- Former Kenosha Alderman Kevin Mathewson had put out an online call for militias to come to Kenosha last week, posting as “commander” of the Kenosha Guard, a militia group he formed online. His post was shared by the alt-right website Infowars.
Prosecute them like any other criminals.

There are now more NAMED sources who say this Atlantic story is BS than there are anonymous sources that say it's true.
Journalism is dead. Anonymous propaganda now dominates the landscape of political information in the age of intense hatred for Trump.

Antifa violence wasn't denied in the manner you describe. You keep making such bogus claims on most topics dealing with the situation in the USA. Doesn't make them true or factual. Just shows how low some would stoop.
Jerry Nadler said Antifa violence in Portland was a "myth". That was specifically what I was referring to. And given he's an elected official, I'm going to assume he speaks for at least some significant percentage of his constituents and other Democrats. I'm happy to review any dispute to my logic you'd like to present.
https://nypost.com/2020/07/27/jerry-nadler-calls-violence-from-antifa-in-portland-a-myth/So that debunks the assertion you made in your first sentence. Feel free to show me a bogus claim I've made.

Unless mistaken the Trump just barely managed to carry the elections there in 2016. That was when facing HRC. For all of Biden's faults, he still manages to generate more support than her. You think that recent events might cause a massive change in voting patterns? Perhaps. But so far, there's no strong indication of that. Certainly not on the level Trump supporters go on about.
We shall see. Biden still suffers from a very large enthusiasm gap. I believe this is a significant factor in why most of the pundits who predicted Trump losing were wrong. Heck, even I thought Trump would lose. This year, it's anyone's guess.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the Australian people were also fed huge steaming piles of you-know-what by their government. And even if they weren't, you can only lock up people for so long, deprive them of their livelihoods and manifest a cure worse than the disease before people begin resisting and rising up. We're seeing this in many countries. People have had enough. Life must go on.

I know it doesent fit the fear mongering narrative trump pushes but the fact remains 93% of the blm protests are 100% peaceful with no damages whatsoever that leaves 7% were some damage was reported I’m sure it’s an even smaller percentage were major damage occurred btw before you get your undies in a knott all damage is bad as Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have stated
No one is concerned with the allegedly peaceful BLM and Antifa riots. It's the violent ones that are an issue. However, I do find your standards quite interesting. I'm wondering if they represent the prevailing thought from the left. Far more than 97% of police interactions with black people are 100% peaceful. So why the difference in standards? Surely you'd agree that police interactions with blacks are mostly peaceful, correct?
Now, as far as fear mongering, you can rest assured many if not most rational-thinking people are concerned about the widespread violence, arson, assaults and murders being committed by these leftist groups.-

Interesting shift in the narrative regarding the BLM riots. They are now not called peaceful protesters, which is a relief to logic and sanity, and are now being called "violent protesters". a step in the right direction, but still grossly misleading in my opinion. The latest mayhem and violence in Rochester is not going to play well beaming onto the TV sets of middle America sitting down for family dinner.
'We're shutting you down': Violent BLM protesters attack stunned diners and smash up a restaurant in Rochester
I am guessing at this juncture Harris wishes she could go back in time to not say these "protests" or whatever you want to call them will not stop, and nor should they. Such a terrible thing to say, and smacks of extremism.
I believe Biden giving his token condemnation of the riots was intentionally about the same time Harris said she thinks they should continue.
And it's interesting how the riots have only become a concern now that normal Americans have had enough and are fighting back. I suspect there was also some polling or other investigation that revealed these riots don't bode well for Democrats. I can't imagine why they've been thinking riots, almost all in areas controlled by and ignored by Democrats, would be Trump's fault to even a casual observer.

No one wants four more years of Antifa and BLM rioting, looting and pillaging. Democrats own this 100%. Virtually all Democrat-led towns. A large majority Democrat-led states. Democrats refusing to reign in the violence and refusing help from the feds.

What is "the" point? What is your point?
Epic fail.
Nancy did not shut down the country. And for those cities, towns and states which did shutdown, you're contending that they coordianted this effort out of hate for trump? Seriously?
I still don't get why republicans are making an issue about this? Surely there are more important things to focus on?
Texas Republicans get illegal haircuts in protest against coronavirus lockdown
Two Texas state representatives on Tuesday got haircuts as an act of protest against Texas' stay-at-home order that currently requires barbershops to be closed in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
Cruz gets his hair cut at salon whose owner was jailed for defying Texas coronavirus restrictions
WASHINGTON – Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, got a haircut Friday at the salon owned by Shelley Luther, who was briefly jailed for refusing to obey stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic.
Luther, who opened Salon à la Mode nearly two weeks ago, was found in contempt for ignoring a court order to close from state Judge Eric Moyé, who sentenced her to seven days in Dallas County jail Tuesday and hit her with a $7,000 fine.
Well yes, people who are opposed to shutdowns getting haircuts is a far cry from people who support shutdowns getting haircuts.

No. That's only what Trump said
They did call him racist etc.... because of the second so-called Muslim ban. The rest of your post is at the same level of accuracy, so it's not worth losing more time with it.
"The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy,” Pelosi said in a statement."
Now in case you intend to find a statement by either Biden or Pelosi calling Trump a racist and mentioning the CHINA travel ban, I wish you good luck! ????
So Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden did NOT rant about racism and xenophobia after Trump implemented the travel restrictions on China?
Here's what Joe Biden said the day after Trump implemented travel restrictions on China:“We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”
So yes, my original claim on Joe Biden is true. However, I have looked at Pelosi's statement in Chinatown after Trump implemented restrictions on travel from China. She did not mention racism or xenophobia. So you got one right. Kudos.
Note your comments on what was said regarding the "Muslim ban" are irrelevant. The issue being posted about is Trump's restrictions on travel from China and what Biden said the next day.

At point blank range, really?
"There are only two ways to shut down the human body using deadly force, he said. The first is loss of blood, and the other is a shot to the central nervous system. Police officers are trained to shoot at center mass, in the torso area."
https://abcnews.go.com/US/police-trained-shoot-wound-experts/story?id=40402933
That is one of many stories you will find that show police are trained to aim for center mass- and for the reasons I posted earlier. You would probably be surprised how easy it is to miss a target with a pistol, even at close distances.
Please feel free to educate me on how police are trained to shoot differently than aiming for center mass at point-blank range. I would also be interested in hearing an alternate method you may have in mind.

I think Joe's handlers are wise to try and get Joe to focus on the pandemic instead of riots. They had Joe make the token condemnations against the riots. But given these rioters are almost exclusively his voters, he can't keep condemning the riots. That would annoy his base. And just to play it safe, he had Kamala Harris out there saying the riots, er, *protests*, should continue. So let's be frank about it: Biden/Harris support the riots. They've been silent for months. It is likely only because Democrats finally figured out the riots aren't helping them that they were forced to come up with a token condemnation. Their silence for months speaks far louder than their newfound outrage.
Of course, Joe going on the attack about the pandemic opens up plenty of opportunities for criticism of Democrats as well. For example, both Biden and Pelosi only had whining about xenophobia and racism to offer after Trump restricted travel from China. And the state-by-state breakdown of where the virus has flourished indicates Democrats have done a disastrous job at handling the virus.And now that we know only 6% of virus deaths were from the virus exclusively, with the vast majority of deaths being elderly people with an average of 2.6 other serious aggravating conditions, rest assured I'm not the only person wondering why we destroyed the US economy.

So much for those double-digit poll leads...time to "Break Glass In Case Of Emergency" ????????????
POLITICO: Biden’s lead in Pennsylvania shrinks to 4 points in new poll.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/02/biden-lead-poll-pennsylvania-407682These polls have had the same pattern for at least the last five presidential elections. I still remember Al Gore having double digit leads over George W. Bush. The poll numbers always seem to magically even out as the elections draw near. It's almost as though the polls are designed to drive, rather than report, public opinion.

Police officers are trained to aim for center mass for practical reasons. First off, aiming for center mass allows the most error while still hitting the suspect. Second, hitting the suspect means hitting someone else, perhaps an innocent bystander, is far less likely.
Now, do you have any evidence to support your claim that the officers involved went against their training to aim for center mass and instead were shooting to maim with intent to kill? Yes or no?-

Even LEO’s are saying there’s no justification for shooting someone seven times in their back when they’re getting in their car. Instead of walking leisurely they could have hussled their lard asses a little and stopped him before he got in the vehicle (with his three kids in it) if they were so afraid he had a weapon.
Do you have any evidence that anyone who has said "just follow instructions if you don't want to be shot by the police" has assaulted any store employee who told them to wear a mask? I'm assuming that given you used plural words to describe these two types of incidents, you have two examples. Would that be fair to expect?

That, of course, depends on which LEOs you ask. But let's set that aside and apply some simple logic. For some reason, two police officers felt it necessary to draw their weapons. The suspect then walks to his car and reaches into it, where he keeps a knife. Are the cops supposed to wait until the suspect turns around with a gun pointed at them to do something? Of course not.
But let's get back to the alleged LEOs that say shooting him seven times wasn't necessary. It's complete BS that can be illustrated with some simple logic. First off, LEOs are taught to shoot to neutralize a threat. They are NOT taught to fire one round, see how it goes, then fire another round and see how it goes and so on.It is silly for people to think they can read the minds of the police officers and determine how many rounds it took for them to perceive the threat was over.
The fact is, Jacob Black CHOSE to get shot via his actions and decisions. And his previous actions as a likely rapist shows he's willing to become violent to get what he wants.-

7 hours ago, Morch said:It may have been.....but don't recall anything stated to this effect. Then again, it may have been covfefe.
No problem. I'm here to help. Here is a statement from Kyle Rittenhouse's attorneys.
"After Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove graffiti by rioters. Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence. The business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops."

It's quite possible who wanted the Antifa thug eliminated? For what reason? And if true, who all you do believe would be in on this conspiracy? And to what end? Do you have any evidence of such a conspiracy?
From where I am standing, it looks like a murdering thug acted like a murdering thug when law enforcement came looking for him. Do you have any evidence that points to something to the contrary?

Oregon man says Portland shooting was self defense
in World News
Posted
No. Different incidents altogether with different specifics. For example, there is no footage of a violent thug attempting to assault the Oregon shooter with a skateboard as there is with Kyle Rittenhouse.
