Dear Syag,
There is not much available. Whoever is in charge here, is doing an excellent job holding back information. We could end up with very different conclusions from separate investigations. I am not (seriously) speculating. I am just responding to other posters takes. It will take a while to figure out what when on here. The video does look bad. And if the timeline is true, it is likely that the police never really had control here.
Here are the props that I an aware of on this conversation.
Knife – A knife was found on the floor of the car. He told police he had a knife. He seems to be holding an open pocket knife in his hand on the way to the car. A bit confusing.
Car – The shooting occurred in a white sedan. It has been widely reported that his kids are inside. The big question to me is, was that his car and was the kids part of the original incident.
Gun – A lot of blabble about a possible gun. But I have not found anything real. (Even from MikeTheCop.)
Keys – The caller mentioned that someone took her car keys and was not giving them back. It is never mentioned again. Maybe, maybe, (I doubt it.) that was an odd looking key ring in his hands.
Taser – There are reports that police used a taser on him, and it did not work.
Pepsi – Some idiot on a wonderful site made it up to be funny.
For what it is worth, we may as well be talking about a story that never happened. It has not been clarified if Blake was the subject of the call. Or if the police knew who anybody was a the time of the shooting. I am just pointing out, that the police did not prove useful in this domestic incident. Obviously, Blake was not prudent enough. It does not make him wrong. It made him get shot.
All the reporting I saw, has very little detail. Most of the story is about the reactions to the shooting. (His condition. His father and lawyers statements.) What do you have that I am missing.
