If there’s so much police racism, why are the highlighted cases of it so dang questionable? Floyd, Blake, Brown, even Taylor…Where and if the police are at fault, and to what degree, why do we have to assume racial animosity had anything to do with these cases?
Why do we get so worked up over lynchings that are later found to be suicides by hanging! Why the hate crime hoaxes that initially become national stories? Why do we have to temporarily satisfy an insatiable hunger with Karens until a white cop kills a black man somewhere in the country (no matter if it even really had a racist cop component)?
What is the power and privilege structure that allows one player to quote (inaccurately if I recall) Hitler with regard Jews, where it is almost certainly career ending for another?
How disadvantaged are you if you can make millions with big mainstream corporations while kneeling during that society’s anthem, honoring Che, and dehumanizing police as a whole…Wouldn’t the oppressed be punished, not rewarded in racist society?
Anyone who posts stuff like this to social media should be sterilized immediately. I dont care if they go to jail or not, but they should not be reproducing.
Honestly, I know the type. They are fragile and lack empathy which is weird since you would think people who are overly sensitive would not lack empathy.
Based on what the news is saying, this incident does seem very questionable. The suspect/victim didn’t have a gun in his hand, he dropped some clothes he was holding that had a gun inside and the cops saw that. Of course there could be more to the story, but based on the information available there doesn’t appear to be a good reason to shoot him.
As for Jacob Blake, more information is being released. From the sounds of things, he showed up at his so-called girlfriend’s apartment with his “fiance” and three other kids and stole he car keys. The car he was entering when he was shot did not belong to him. So perhaps there really was an argument between two women, but the only way Blake attempted to defuse it was to steal one woman’s keys and car.
"In this statement, attorney Brendan Matthews, representing the police union, says that officers were dispatched to the location by a complaint that Blake was attempting to steal the caller’s keys and vehicle.
…
There is an open warrant for Blake’s arrest on sexual charges, although it has not been made public against whom. Matthews said officers were aware of the warrant before they arrived at the location. They said Blake was not breaking up a fight between two females as neighbors and family have said.
Matthews contends the silver SUV seen in the video is not Blake’s car and that Blake was actually holding the knife in the video where he rounds the front of the car. He said Blake put one of the officers in a headlock at one point during an altercation."
Benjamin Crump is the worst lawyer ever, the same one who said the cops in the George Floyd incident should be charged with first degree murder.
“How many more of these tragic ‘while Black’ tragedies will it take until the racial profiling and undervaluing of Black lives by the police finally stops?”
Attempted carjacking and pulling a knife on cops while black? With a warrant for sexual assault of course.
If all of these things end up being true, I see a high probability that the officer is acquitted, or it is dropped before going to court, and Blake ends up in prison for a decade.
IMO, if this is the outcome the protests will be insane. Mostly because many people are not capable of critical thought and evaluating evidence.
I am not assuming all these things to be true yet. Just saying if they are hypothetically true, that in that hypothetical situation, the protests will likely be cranked up a notch.
You can see something in his hand in the video, I’m sure he had a knife. I posted the picture of that scene a while back. As I mentioned before, it’s hard to find the video with decent resolution and all the ones from news channels coincidentally put words on the screen at the moment the knife is visible. But that part is true, and the second video from the other side of the car show him fighting with the cops, I really don’t think they are lying. This is the first I hear that the car wasn’t his and he was stealing it, but I don’t see why the cops would make that up now, it’s very easy to prove wrong.
Is there really anything more they can do that they haven’t already? Unless Antifa and BLM start shooting people, it’s just going to be more of the same. I think it will continue like this one way or another, people continue to be shot by cops and the election is coming up soon, plus Trump seems likely to win which means another presidential term of political violence and rioting. Really it looks like America is out of control these days. Maybe there is some silver lining to COVID because the borders are closed so it won’t spread to Canada.
