This is nothing like George Floyd, don’t even compare it. It’s insulting. George Floyd laid unconscious & lifeless as he was suffocated for 8 minutes and 46 seconds for a fake 5 dollar bill.. this case is of a man who got the cops called on him by his own family for taking keys & being in shit he wasn’t suppose to, actively resisted arrest & then went to reach for shit in his car. No one is victim blaming, we are holding the man accountable for his actions.
At the end of the day, we can all agree Blake's actions weren't up to no good.
Despite that fact, it shouldn't result in 7 shots in the back.
If you want justice, then feasibly try to arrest him. If a taser doesn't work, then you need to use something else.
I understand you can't always wait and make sound decisions in the heat of the moment.
For sake of argument, as I think it paints a stronger picture, let's assume he had a knife in his hand the entire time. Anyways:
Jacob Blake walked AWAY from a gun wielding police officer while holding a knife. Police rushed to Blake, shot him 7 times in the back as he was getting into his car.
The kid in Kenosha ran TOWARDS the police after committing a murder, shot two more people in front of the police (killing one), and then was calmly accepted by the police.
So my statement simply means: if the cops will let an armed killer run towards them with a loaded gun drawn, than they have no reason to kill a man walking away from the situation.
