Make no mistake. 7 shots seems a bit excessive. But the bottom line here is that Jacob Blake is to blame for Jacob Blake's misfortune.
The police officers were responding to a domestic violence call. They didn't pluck Jacob Blake off the street at random and shoot him. They were detaining an individual, Jacob Blake, who had an outstanding warrant. Jacob Blake chose to be stupid, or maybe arrogant, and disobey the police officers commands. The police officers tried to subdue Jacob Blake with "less than lethal force" a taser, which was ineffective for whatever reason. Jacob Blake, may, or may not have been carrying a knife, a lethal weapon, which according to eye witness account, Jacob Blake was ordered repeatedly to drop. Jacob Blake then proceeded to open his car door and reach inside, perhaps to access a more lethal weapon to assault the officers. Regardless, the FACT remains that Jacob Blake CHOSE to disregard the police officers commands. Jacob Blake CHOSE his fate. Had Jacob Blake done what he is supposed to do when given instructions by a police officer, which is to comply, he would be walking and not lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life. He is to blame for what happened in Kenosha, WI.....NOT the Police officers.
