You think that it's risible that cops cam look up a suspect's prior convictions? Really?

Are you not able to check patients' medical records?

Well i don't simply know everyone in the streets medical history, not even the ones i care for until ive confirmed name address health number and so on, yet you hilariously assume these cops simply know everything about the unarmed bloke they are about to shoot down


They'd need to know more than just him being a black man opening his car door, you instantly assume they everything about him and act on that,but yes its too soon to judge the police actin, vest focus on the black bloke, cos we know black men are all inatley criminal and its fine to just shoot them.

You think that they're unaware of outstanding arrest warrants? Really?

Its telling there has been utter silence about the far right agitator from out of state just charged with murdering 2 protestors and injuring others, he was part of an armed vigilantly group inciting even more violence.

I think it's a good thing.

Wisconsin's attorney general has named the officer who shot a black man on Sunday, sparking days of demonstrations.

Josh Kaul told reporters on Wednesday that Rusten Sheskey shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back as he opened the door of his car.

Officers found a knife in Mr Blake's car, he added, but no other weapons.

What did the attorney general say?

On Wednesday, Mr Kaul updated reporters on the ongoing investigation into the shooting.

Officers were called to an address on Sunday evening after a woman reported "her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises".

Lawyers for Mr Blake have said he had been trying to "de-escalate a domestic incident" when police drew their weapons.

While there they tried to arrest Mr Blake, initially using a taser against him. After Mr Blake opened his car door, Officer Rusten Sheskey - who has been in the Kenosha Police Department for seven years - fired seven shots into Mr Blake's back.

"No other officer fired their weapon," Mr Kaul said.

Mr Blake has since told investigators that he had a knife in his possession, and Mr Kaul said officers "recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard" of his car. They found no other weapon in the vehicle.

[perrykneeham]

So, he was armed. Interesting.

I hope that cop's back on duty this very day, with an apology from the Governor.

[whitewine]

To be honest I got a bit confused, did the officers turn up intending to draw their weapons to a domestic dispute, or did they see Blake with a knife, then drew their weapons, its so confusing, not that he deserved to be shot in the back seven times.

[perrykneeham]

He did.

[perrykneeham]

No, in fact, he didn't. He deserved to be shot once, in the head.

[whitewine]

He did what, it was said the officers had a taser, so why not use that if they knew all he had was a knife, rather than seven bullets in his back...

[perrykneeham]

He was tasered. They had good reason to shoot him.

[mids]

Probably on drugs too. Why else would you tell armed poh-leece you were going to get your knife?

[perrykneeham]

That's probably the saddest part of the whole thing: widespread, everyday drug use. I bet that was the root of all this.

It might explain many facets of this case. This repeated scenario of young black men getting killed by cops is a tragic injustice, but it isn't racism that's the problem, although I do think whitey should be doing more to help level the playing field.

[jimboky]

I think the playing field is level, only many are not in a position to play,
If you use the group of children who have graduated, not used drugs, not done crime, got a job,,,,,,,,,, they would all look similar, color of skin isn't a factor, the path to prosperity isn't owned by whites,

[flatandy]

So, yeah, more people have died in Kenosha at the hands of this right-wing, Trump supporting douchebag, who is wearing flag Crocs, socks and shorts. Who went to Kenosha to "protect the police".

[flatandy]

A reminder that we shouldn't let right-wingers have guns

We shouldn't let kids have guns

We shouldn't let anyone wear Crocs

The right are much more dangerous than people who protest police violence

And, despite the bullshit spread from the right about "thugs" and "rioters", they aren't actually killing people.

[mids]

He is a dick but from the videos, he'll probably get off on self defence.

[flatandy]

If he wanted to shoot black people without getting prosecuted he should have waited until he was a policeman

[perrykneeham]

Well, quite. There are so many black men whose behaviour occasions their lawful shooting.

[jimboky]

If police were allowed to do their job there none of this would have happened, no one complained when whites and cops were shot and killed, but when one young man, who shouldn't have had to be there shoots a couple rioters it's the worse thing ever happened,

when you remove the police then all that is left is mob justice, is this what you guys want?

[voice]

he didn't have to be there, there were plenty of cops there doing their job, in fact the cops want these far right agitators to fcuk off back where they came from and stop making this about them.
