More facts come out on Jacob Blake shooting by cops
The thing is: there were three police officers there. Three men could've wrestled him down, put the cuffs on him and thrown him in the back of the squad car.
The shooting victim is not a big man. He's average sized.
Forget it, the OP has two goals we have to hear about on repeat.
1. Devalue Jacob Blake by any means possible.
2. Justify the police crippling an unarmed black guy for life.
True, the officer could have shot Blake's kids as well and some would defend his actions.
Can we have a rational discussion on this that lies somewhere between "defund the police" and "everyone from Rodney King to Jacob Blake had it coming"?

He was armed with a knife.
We are rapidly coming to "Don't do anything, let them go if they resist."
Yes, as the video shows.This knife was in his hand and was an immediate threat to those officers?
Yes, the video.(And of course you have evidence of this knife and him trying to attack these officers do you?)

Yes, the video.
He was armed with a knife. He assaulted the officers. He defied the orders of police to drop the knife and get on the ground. They tried using a taser but it was ineffective. This is a completely justified shooting.

Which video shows that Jacob Blake grabbed a knife and attacked those officers? Post is here please.
And yet the bodies keep piling up. Seems like some police, albeit a small minority, didn’t get the memo.
Wait, so you're saying he had the knife on him and during that whole ordeal of wrestling him to the ground and trying to handcuff and taser him and grabbing his t-shirt and shooting him in the back...and he didn't try to stab them in self defense even once? Wow.
It’s been posted in dozens of threads. You’ve seen it. You’ve seen the knife in his hand, and you’ve heard the officers ordering him to drop it. Completely justified shooting. Sorry.

That was not ever on my mind. I note it is however on your mind.

Jacob Blake devalued himself when he sexually assaulted his girlfriend at least twice (he pulled a Trump and grabbed her by the *****), attempted to steal her vehicle, placed his children at risk and intentionally violated a restraining order ... all before law enforcement arrived.
Blake also resisted arrest, was tased twice, broke away and decided to do something with/in the stolen vehicle.
It’s all right there on video. We see the knife. We hear police ordering him to drop it. I’m sorry if this is inconvenient for your narrative. It’s just reality.
