Dear Two and anyone else who has not been following this thread,
The OP asked if the Kenosha police offered a statement. At the time, they had not. I answered that they have nothing to gain. The discussion turned to speculation if, and with what Jacob Blake was a threat. As the days past, the threat looks less credible, but some keep posting the same storyline. Even though it is contradictory, and has not been sourced. We have all stated multiple times that it is impossible to know the full context here. [Except for one poster who witnessed the event.] The fact that the official investigations are not giving clear statements, is highly suspicious. As well as the idea that the local DA will make the call, and not the state or federal investigation. Etc.
This topic has been focused on why the police would not clear the record. And the quality of policing in general. I have also noted that the quality of journalism has been awful. They are drooling at the possibility of being able to report on another town being razed a la Ferguson. The story is not being told. If you want to start another post about Blake’s terrible efforts at self
preservation, nobody is refuting that one. The truth about the victim does not cover for the inadequacies of the police.
