Things liberals ignore about Jacob Blake

1; he was trespassing on the property allegedly harassing a woman who had accused him of rape.

2; the womanand her family called police and told them that he was there harassing them trespassing on their property and police had a reason believe that he was there to harm or coerce the woman into dropping her rape allegations., Which is why police arrived prepared to deal with an armed and dangerous suspect.


Liberals have attempted to paint like as a completely innocent man who was doing nothing wrong when he was shot. This is a lie. He is a dangerous thug who allegedly raped a a woman and was at her property harassing her when police arrived.

The police shouldn't have shot him because I didn't need to but that does not make him an instant person or even a good person.

The real victim in this is the woman here right who is likely going to have a jury poisoned against convicting him because of the polices unnecessary shooting. they are going to see him as a person who was wrongfully shot instead of seeing him as a rapist if he is brought to trial. Defense arrornies are great at playing off of public perception.

 

One things for sure, bet he wont do that again!

 

I have no problem with the guy rotting in jail ... after he is convicted, not before.
I think the real question is would this guy have been shot by police if he was white - or given the benefit of the doubt?

It's a question black Americans have been asking themselves for a hundred years.

 

Yes. Given the information they had.

 

You act as if whites are never shot by police, or if they are then its rare. That's just bs.

 

They also ignore the fact that he was tasered twice and he still didn't go down.

 

More whites shot by police than blacks. More INNOCENT whites shot by the police than innocent blacks.

Maybe they should follow the law and stop asking themselves ridiculous questions.

 

The police are required to follow that same law - is it wrong to ask that?
And if you feel more innocent people are being shot by police (white or black) then why are you mad that someone is out there questioning
that action?

 

Only in flat numbers but there are more whites. If compared to the number of violent crimes committed the numbers are fairly close. If we compare it to population size, blacks are more likely to get shot.

The fair comparison is to measure police shootings in comparison to violent crimes committed since those are the types of conflicts in which a police officer is likely to have to resort to force and other more extreme methods.

The real resolution to this issue is in finding why blacks are more likely to commit violent crimes.

 

Probably because police shootings are so rare and the response is so overblown. We have a lot of issues facing all Americans and blacks themselves have a lot larger issues they should be concerned with in relation to how it affects them and their childrens future.

 

He was a bad dude and he did a bad thing. For that he is paralyzed from the waist down. Tough. That he brought on himself. Karma is a bitch. Let the court system handle the cops.

 

Put yourself in the cop's shoes. He's violently resisting, he's made it to the open passenger side of the vehicle, he's reaching inside... how long are you going to wait to see whether or not he turns around with a weapon and fires or attacks, or takes off in the vehicle to run you or someone else over... that or causes a fatal car wreck while being pursued?

Just comply, whatever happens is probably better than what happens when you create the threat of death or injury to an officer.

 

Had the perp drove off and ran over a child the cops would have been blamed. Had the perp pulled a gun from under the car seat and shot a cop dead it would have received 2 minutes on the MSM news. I can go along with the reasoning that the cop panicked and fired too many shots. But cops are human and like all humans they will protect their life. You go for a weapon I will shoot until you are dead. It ain't the old cowboy movies where the good guy shoots the gun from the hand of the bad guy.

 

There are theories on this. Some more believable than others...

 

My question is this. Here is a man wanted on warrants of sexual assault and criminal trespass (and one other warrant I’ve forgotten) who was resisting arrest and trying to elude police. And perhaps reaching for a weapon.

What exactly should the police have done instead?

If you were a police officer, what would you have done?

 

Probably shot him in the back 7 times to stop him from what ever he was trying to do.

 

I agree but there is also the fact that police had every reason to believe he had a weapon in the vehicle as well. They were already on edge because they were told that he was threatening his alleged rape victim. He could have easily been attempting to retrieve a gun from his truck. Police officers can't read minds. So a suspect who is clearly hostile, known to be violent, and refusing to cooperate is very much going to have cops with itchy trigger fingers.

 

Yes this is my issue as well the officers had no idea whether or not he had a weapon in the vehicle at the time

but at the same time they could have easily restrained him one officer had a hold of him while the other officer was shooting him.

In the end, the officer who shot him simply folded under the pressure of the situation. It's not a case of racism as much as it is bad training.

 

See this is the thing. There are complaints but no solid ideas about alternatives.

 

In Indiana I had the bad fortune of watching a white policeman shoot a white suspect to death across the street from where I was staying. He too was reaching for something. If you are a police officer you have to make split second decisions.

 

Yeah watching the video it truly did look like the police were merely reacting rather than controlling the situation.
I saw Blake complaining about all his pain and I wondered if he could even extend that enough to imagine how the woman he sexually assaulted must have felt at his hands. But he seems a total narcissist.

 

You reach for a weapon during an arrest you get shot. Do huge numbers of people REALLY think that a bunch of police officers say, "Okay this thug is on the lighter end of the scale and so we WILL allow the scum bucket to pull a knife or a gun on us because . . . we LOVE White thugs"?

 

If he was white there would be no media coverage, no fake outrage or a hundred days of rioting.

 

Of course he would have been shot he had a knife had harass a woman he had previously raped and was reaching into the car for something when he was shot. He'd have been shot if if he was any damn color if the human rainbow. Anyone things otherwise isn't rational.

 

Probably. After all, the Antifa thug was white and was shot, too.

Common theme? Don't resist arrest while armed.
