What would a rational human being do when a cop says... You’re under arrest put your hands behind your back? Why is it the actions of cops are under constant attack but the actions of the perps who precipitated it are not?
This is the saga of Jacob Blake. To cut to the quick his family called the police for a domestic violence altercation. This is Blake and his arrest record.
The video leading up to him being shot.
Video 576
Prior to the video Blake starts wrestling with the 2 officers. So right here alone you have resisting arrest at a minimum and most likely assaulting a police officer before he gets away attempting to get in the car.
As these photos indicate both of the cops have guns drawn and would have to be shouting something to the effect..."Freeze"..."Stop"..."Get on the ground"... etc but he completely ignores the warning and thinks he's just going to get in the car and drive away. So what is the protocol here? Are the cops supposed to waive goodby... or are they supposed to act? If protocol dictates they act this is the headline they get:
COPS SHOOT UNARMED BLACK MAN IN THE BACK
Of course, the outcome is preordained...
Remember when this little kid got shot and killed by a black man?
What possible reason could you have to shoot a 5-year-old? Why didn't people who were enraged by this senseless murder burn down the town? Because people of sound mind don't believe throwing a brick through a business owner's window and stealing everything they have before setting it on fire is the right thing to do. Why should they suffer the consequences when they had absolutely nothing to do with it?
And all this spurred on by this POS.
Can you still be a family man and get arrested for domestic abuse 3... make that 4 times?
