In light of the past 3 months,with the mayhem and riots that has occurred in my country,this nonsensical state official(governor ) must imop issue strict consequences for people who commit violence. Sad ! Well if they fixed the bloody problem in the first place instead of just calling for calm... or at least until the officers are acquitted anyway.

He was resisting arrest and going to the drivers seat of his car like he was on a mission though. Resisting arrest warrants the use of deadly force?

Dustdevil Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Susco said: I think in most countries there are also not 120 guns per 100 inhabitants. For all those condemning the police, why you don't get out of your lazy armchair, and go play policeman yourself in the US? I have no opinion about who is right or wrong in this particular case, but I do understand what the police in the US has to deal with. That country has just gone crazy, and policemen are risking their live whenever they arrest someone. Not comparable with the situation elsewhere in the world. I know for myself, I wouldn't want to be a policeman in the US if they paid me a million $ a month. Actually crime is way, way down from 1992, having steadily decreased since then to 1940s levels, although since the pandemic started there has been an upswing in murders in the big cities.. Not comparable to elsewhere in the world?? Apparently you haven't heard of South and Central America. The country has changed dramatically. NYC, for example, used to be horrible in the 1970s. It's fairly safe now, and much cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days yet but some reports said that they had tasered him first but the taser malfunctioned so then they drew their sidearms. There are other reports that suggest that non-lethal shooting in the legs was included but since like white folks, he only has two legs, there's no reason as yet as to why he copped half-a-clip full of bullets anywhere. The officers life being threatened doesn't seem such a rock solid alibi at this juncture with one pulling at his victim's shirt and the other one blocked by the car door from doing or seeing anything. Unless of course you get into the police union paid lawyers semantics of an officer only having to 'feel' threatened for it all to be legal and above board. For example, right now, I 'feel' I will go for a massage but I probably won't. Am I guilty or not? Edited August 25, 2020 by NanLaew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logosone Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 A female neighbor who also declined to give her name said she saw two women arguing Sunday evening, but not physically fighting. One of them called the police, she said. Other neighbors told the Kenosha News that Blake appeared to be trying to break up an altercation between two women. https://eu.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2020/08/24/jacob-blake-stable-condition-after-shooting-kenosha-police-shot-7-times/3431519001/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of the news reporting is that police mistreating blacks is a fraction of the black on black crime which largely goes unreported. Why aren't the blacks policing their own neighborhoods?

richard_smith237 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Firstly – hope me makes a full recovery. This seems to be one of those situations where the worse case scenario of a multitude of possible scenarios played out. The scenario could also have played out with injured or hurt police officers. The scenario would have been different had Jacob Blake simply followed instructions of the Police. The scenario would also have been different had the police not responded to a domestic complaint or perhaps approach the situation with calming measures (better training?) or would it?. Jacob Blake’s record includes Domestic abuse, strangulation, trespassing, sexual assault. Jacob Blake was allegedly at the scene breaking up a fight when the police arrived. Video footage (there are two videos circulating) shows Jacob Blake resisting arrest. 3 Police officers are unable to subdue Jacob Blake who was resisting arrest. A police offer fires a taser which does not subdue Jacob Blake, either through failure of the taser, or another reason (alcohol, drugs or something similar mean he doesn’t feel the taser) Police officers are heard yelling ‘drop the knife’ (where is the knife – is the presence of a knife proven?) Continuing to resist arrest Jacob Blake walks to his car, opens the door and reaches in (did the police find anyway weapon in the car?) Police officers fire 7 times. -------- Police offers were unable to subdue Jacob Blake Jacob Blake was resisting arrest Jacob Blake reached in a car either to get in the car or to get something The car had children inside (who’s children were they?) An outrageous scene. Would a White Male had been shot if he had been resisting arrest in exactly the same manner? – I think that quite likely. Does this highlight poor police training? I think so, it seems that poor police training in the US seems to be the route of many of these issues where escalation occurs instead of calming. Would the Police officers had address the ‘situation’ from the offset differently had Jacob Blake been white? Ultimately, what triggered the initial reason to subdue Jacob Blake? Was Jacob Blake already agitated and uncontrollable by the time the police arrived? Was this issue a result of ‘racist policing’ – I think any conclusion at this stage is a leap. The police fired their weapons because the situation was becoming more dangerous for them (potentially when Jacob Blake reached in the car). Had the police been better trained, would Jacob Blake have been calmer and more subdued and more responsive? ----------- Finally: Why is it that whenever people protest the do so by destroying local businesses and property? A protest is a protest, hooliganism, looting and rioting is criminal behaviour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I argue with you not to imply the Police behaved correctly, but to suggest you may be a little bias if you ‘only saw an execution’ - there is clearly far more going on than that. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
