“........up to getting shot SEVEN times in the back!” They found a knife on the floor of his car? Only one officer fired.......I fail to see the justification here, Lutherf!

At this point we know that the cops were called because someone in the house called 911 on Blake, specifically. We know that Blake disregarded police instructions to comply with their investigation, was tasered (or there was an attempt to taser him}, continued to disregard police instruction and proceeded to attempt to either get into the car with his kids or retrieve a knife from that car. There was every indication that if he obtained a weapon that he would use it and that if he got into the car he would be putting the kids in danger. The cop shot him and, frankly, I don't think too many juries would have a problem with that.

That isn't the kind of thing that needs to be stated before it becomes part of the rational belief that deadly force is warranted.

I was unaware that was his choice but the world is full of miracles these days.

Knife was on the floor. He was shot when it was not inside his reach

Officer panicked.

Just another dead black man

Being born black is the start of it

What utter horse****.

Nobody denies that there are racist cops, but what proof do you possess that tells this entire story?

You are asserting facts not in evidence. The report does not say whether the knife was or had been in Blake's possession during the incident. There is, in fact, circumstantial evidence that Blake WAS holding the knife as all three officers seemed to believe it was necessary to draw down on him. If Blake presented a knife that would certainly explain the police reaction.

Waiting for you to prove that the cop wasn't self-defending and killed the man only because he was black.

It's just the most recent tactic by the left. The say and do things with the idea that if they can provoke someone into a violent act then record that act it serves to validate their claims that all right wingers are violent.

We're going to find out in the days ahead if this cop acted out of bigotry...
I grow weary of the foolish dimwits who judge before knowing and really don't think our LE officers have a right to self-defend in the line of duty.

People like them aren't helping calm the waters. It's almost as they are trying to put more logs on the fire.

Report you say- then prove it

Circumstantial & possibilities that would burden Heaven is your forte

It appears you may be unfamiliar with the immediate dangers of the described threat..
The officers may have been doing as instructed for self protection; not in panic.

Earlier today it was disclosed that Blake, by his own admission,
had a knife in his physical possession.

Knife from what I recall was found on the floor boards - note as I recall the Officers were aware of the knife

3 Officers and they could not take him down - that speaks to incompetence

UPDATE: Kenosha Officer Involved Shooting | Wisconsin Department of Justice



Blake seems to have made a LOT of bad decisions leading up to getting shot.

A recording revealed the police ordering him to put down the knife. Other reports say a struggle occurred earlier with the police and they used a taser and he then got up off the ground while the police told him to stay on the ground. Another report claimed at one time he was on the passenger side of the car. Another report said this man had an open warrant for his arrest over sexual abuse and he has a record that also includes pulling a gun in a bar and threatening people. He also has multiple domestic abuse charges on his record.

I think people should stop guessing and wait for the investigation to be completed.

I suspect that you think what you wrote makes sense but...well, it doesn't.

What a joke for a rebuttal. ^^^

Maybe that's how it works in Canada, but not so in our country.

And not in a million years will it ever make sense to we, citizens of the greatest country of all, The United States of America...

Ah the Canadian shtick - tiresome and is clearly desperation on your part
