Dear Chaim,
“Police knew” = they could only know if the identified him.
“known to carry a gun” = Because a youtuber said so.
“Blake resisted” = Multiple witnesses said he didn’t. In the moments leading up to the shooting, he was definitely not resisting. There are two videos to prove this.
“told him drop the knife” = I am trying to figure this part out. You seem to have it in the beginning of the clip. Maybe they did. So what?
“attempts to get in a vehicle” = Opens the car door. Not clear if he was going anywhere. Some accounts say that he was checking on his kids.
“keys to which” = I have asked whose car it was. That is my own speculation. Every single report says it was his car. The witness who videoed it, says he came in that truck.
“he stole from” = Nobody confirmed that he was the subject of the call. In the same interview, he says that the fight was between two woman. They were fighting before Blake showed up. And Blake did not get involved when he was watching. (He left for a bit.)
“a knife, a 3000 pound vehicle, and” = You are being silly.
“weapon may be inside” = No weapon was recovered inside the vehicle. It looks from the video that he was not even reaching into the car. If he was, he should not have crumpled on the spot. He should have ended up on the driver’s seat.
“children in the back seat” = Yes. His own children. Police can shoot black fathers for getting into a car with his kids!?!?!?
“shields or hostages” = You are giving your average cop way to much credit. If they were so hyper aware, they should have noticed that they exposed their backs to an angry crowd. Or maybe they did not feel threatened at any point. Or maybe the police in Kenosha always act with impunity.
“Blake poses a deadly” = Even according to your perversions, the most likely scenario is he would just drive away.
“to the officers” = His back is to them. Maybe at a later point? He does not seem to care about them.
“and other people” = Who else? Me? You? Mickey Mouse?
“training, the cops fire” = One officer fired. And he was right behind Blake holding his shirt. Maybe he should have been trained to do a non-lethal take down.
“center mass” = And hit him three times out of seven shots. Obvious point blank range.
“until it is clear he poses no immediate” = He shoots him four times. Than a long pause. Then three more. That part appears indefensible. The only argument is a mental lapse. There never was an immediate threat.
“in the back seat” = Agreed! When we are dealing with such incompetence, cops facing toward the front of the car are likely to end up hitting a kid in the back seat.
“intent was to kill him” = The mercy of police these days. They did not attempt an execution in broad daylight in front of witnesses. (Nobody says this is as bad as what Derek Chauvin did. That is not a defense.)
“arrive” = The reactions to this fifteen seconds, does not to be arrived at. It is right there. Did you watch it?
“retrospect” = A lot of criminals would also tell you they do not condone what they themselves did.
“for police” = There are better ways to police. A domestic incident does not need to be handled through an arrest. For sure not by gunshots.
“handle the situation” = The cops did not handle the situation.”
“the circumstances” = According to multiple witnesses, the police were fighting with him, and kept putting him in a headlock. Blake was not resisting, just keeping his balance. (I understood that to mean, that the police had no idea how to manipulate the hold.) The police union claims that he had the officer in a headlock. That sounds interesting. They let that go, but shot him seven times for opening a car door.
“they had to do” = Why was police needed here? And, why couldn’t they just leave? They clearly do not hold themselves accountable.
“fault” = This is such a massive mess for the KP. They did not even issue a real statement.
“with” = The feds are also investigating. Maybe it is to send extra cash to Kenosha.
“Blake.” = He obviously is not being cautious about the police pointing guns at him. I cannot be sure I would let myself get arrested by such jerks. I would go to the next town, and turn myself in.
