Sig1Hunter Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Reports on the Jacob Blake shooting from a witness quoted in this article (you gotta wade through piles of irrelevant trash to find it) say that the officers identified Blake in possession of a knife. Attempts to tase him and control him were unsuccessful. A still shot from the video appears to show something that could be a knife in his left hand as he rounds the front of the car. https://chicago.suntimes.com/metro-state/2020/8/24/21399620/kenosha-shooting-jacob-blake-neighbors-witnesses-protests ‘“One witness, who did not want his name used but said he had an unobstructed view of the events leading to the shooting, said Blake pushed past police and that’s when they struck him with Tasers. “He didn’t even flinch,” the witness said. “He just kept walking.” Blake tried to climb into his car, that’s when a police officer grabbed him, the witness said. “They start to wrestle,” the witness said. “The officer is punching on him. Two officers come to assist. They get him down on the curb behind his vehicle. Somehow he manages to get up. They said he has a knife. All of the officers pull out their guns. ... (One of the officers) tells him, ‘Get out of the car!’ and he starts shooting.”’
Golden Goat Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Kenosha County, Wisconsin 87.2% white Went for Trump in 2016, first time for GOP in 40 years Allegedly soured on Trump in 2018 when they voted in a Democrat to represent them This is exactly the type of suburban county Biden needs to win. He lost it last night. Quite possibly the state, too. 2 1

You think burning down a town because some guy tried to kidnap his kids from his ex, had them in the vehicle, disobeyed police orders, and then reached into his vehicle for who-knows-what, and then Biden comes out with a pro-rioter statement, is good for Biden? Not seeing that myself. 1 1 3

Kenosha isn't Seattle or Portland. I'm guessing they -- and similar suburban areas watching closely -- don't want that ***** on their streets, regardless of cause. 1
