Another Black man gunned down by Wisconsin cops

[flatandy]

Yes, shooting a bloke in the back seven times does seem to be.

I think that once you've committed to taking the bloke down, you probably need to keep going until he's no longer a threat.

“There are two systems of justice in the United States,” Blake Sr told the crowd. “There is a black system and a white system and the black system isn’t doing so well. I’m tired of looking at cameras and seeing these young black and brown people suffer.”

The two videos capture radically different postures by law enforcement when confronted by two men – one a father who appeared to have argued with officers, the other a teen who traveled with an assault rifle from out of state and, prosecutors say, shot two people dead and injured a third.

Videos of Blake capture an altercation of some kind on the passenger side of Blake’s vehicle in a Kenosha neighborhood. Blake’s children are in his vehicle. In one angle, officers rear back as Blake stands and begins to walk around the front of the vehicle. Two officers follow him, guns drawn. Bystanders are yelling in distress. Blake opens the driver’s side door. One officer, later identified as Rusten Sheskey, grabs Blake’s shirt. Sheskey then fires seven times, hitting Blake in the back.

Blake Sr told CNN on Friday that his son was shackled to his hospital bed despite being partially paralyzed after the shooting. He was reportedly later unshackled.


The second video clip captures a gunman identified as Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, who earlier in the day was seen interacting with police officers and accepting water from them while carrying a semiautomatic rifle, illegal at his age in the state.

In the clip in question, Rittenhouse is seen walking toward armored police vehicles. Around his neck Rittenhouse wears the assault rifle he has just used, prosecutors say, to commit two homicides. Not only does Rittenhouse walk past law enforcement officers – he was free to return to his home in Antioch, Illinois, about 15 miles away, where he was later arrested.

By grabbing his arms and putting handcuffs on him.

Or do you think that anyone who has their back to any policeman who might possibly have something that might be used as a weapon, like - say - a frying pan or a car-key, should be shot?

[perrykneeham]

Do you not think they'd tried the old hands-behind-the-back routine? Which video did you watch?

[perrykneeham]

Are everyone wanted for violent rape? Has everyone just been involved in a violent altercation? Have everyone been knocked for gunplay and resisting arrest? Have everyone been repeatedly instructed to comply by a policeman acting in a lawful manner in response to an emergency situation? Has everyone just fought arrest and been tasered and yet persisted in acting I'm a manner likely to suggest a threat?

[flatandy]

Any person might be.

[perrykneeham]

If they were, they would not just be any person. They would be someone asking to get shot.

So then whenever someone resists arrest and turns away they might be reaching for an uzi. So you best shoot him first.

no. they should wait until they are shot. easy being an arm chair cop, isn't it?

Cops threatened by a black guy walking away, cops not threatened by a white 17 year old carrying an automatic weapon makes a lot of sense. The US police force is so f**k*d up, it should be banned.

There was more than one cop on the scene, if they can't control the situation, stop him from entering his car, for whatever reason, they should look for a different job.

maybe he was on meth.

i have heard stories where 10 cops can't wrestle down a suspect on meth. they tazered him and that apparently didn't even slow him down.

[whiterum]

Don't make me have to use the whataboutery word, Rick, please try again.

[rick49]

just suggesting that perhaps drugs were the reason the tazer couldn't stop him and they couldn't physically wrestle him down.

[whiterum]

Good point well made, but do you honestly believe he would have been on meths driving while his children were in the car, because I find that hard to believe.

[rick49]

"When under the influence of meth, a person does not feel pain and they keep going"

could explain why the tazer didn't stop him.

[whiterum]

Doesn't say anything in the news reports that he was on meths, its just you making excuses for the killer cops actions.

ok, i surrender. you are the judge and jury. you know exactly everything that happened.

[whiterum]

No, the killer cop was judge and jury, seven bullets in the back proves that.
