[protectionist]

WILL RIOTS BREAK OUT >...if police officer is acquitted ?......(as he certainly should be)

Would anybody here protest it (peaceful or otherwise) ?

The city of Kenosha, Wisconsin is preparing for protests when a charging decision comes in the police shooting of Jacob Blake. A decision is expected imminently. Safety efforts announced by local officials include designated demonstration spaces, road closures, a curfew, protective fencing, and limitations on city bus routes. The National Guard is preparing for any unrest.

Mr Blake, who is Black, was shot in the back seven times on 23 August, after walking away from a white police officer and two others who were trying to arrest him.

Officer Rusten Sheskey opened fire after Mr Blake opened an SUV’s driver-side door and leaned into the vehicle. Blake was left paralyzed from the waist down.

No charges filed against the officers. Kenosha is gonna pop.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Well, millions of other people have interactions with police and don't die afterward, so it's insignificant.

The Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake in August will not be criminally charged, the Kenosha County District Attorney announced Tuesday.

I found this marginally less useless link too.

Do you find it odd that no charges on either side will be pressed? Somebody got shot 7 times. Either it was a legit shoot meaning they stopped somebody who was committing a felony and Blake should be charged, or they over reacted to somebody who wasn’t a threat warranting a death sentence and should be held accountable. Wouldn't you agree?

There can be a legitimate shooting by police even when no crime has been committed at all. There doesn't have to be a crime, for cops to shoot someone. Did somebody tell you that there did have to be one ?

No I’m just using simple logic. If cops can shoot and kill somebody while they aren’t committing a crime then I’d definitely support legislation fixing that obvious oversight

If the gooneybirds do go out and protest (what they have no clue what they're protesting about) something tells me they won't be out there too long. Temperature in Kenosha is expected be 24 degrees Farenheight, at 9 PM tonight. Snow & ice is on the ground.

You're conflating accountability with criminality. Your post doesn't address all of the possibilities. If the actions by the law enforcement officer, while acting within the course and scope of his duties, involved the use of excessive force, then it almost always ends up in federal court as a civil action, not a criminal prosecution. In other words, just because the use of force was objectively excessive, that doesn't necessarily mean it was criminal. Law enforcement can violate someone's constitutional rights and commit a civil tort without satisfying the elements of criminal homicide. There is an entire cottage industry dedicated to prosecuting/defending excessive force cases (brought under the 5th and 14th Amendment) in federal court. I'm confident that's where this will end up as well. You'd be surprised how many cases like this are litigated every year.

I agree, I’m just looking for accountability one way or another. A man was shot 7 times. A good/good doesn’t add up

Blake is in a wheelchair paralysed. So the DA figured let it go. In that Louisville case the guy who shot at the cops first the charges against him were dropped. It doesn't mean they didn't commit crimes.

 

[harmonica]

....they riot BEFORE any investigation = jackasses/idiots
...in the shooting of jackass criminal ASmith, the idiots said they would riot if the verdict was not the one they wanted = jackasses/etc
...they make no sense whatsoever
..in most of these cases, the police do nothing wrong

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Live the life of a scumbag and get the results of those choices.

Wipes feet in liberal tears and exits the thread.

 

[WEATHER53]

The police do not need training nor retraining. The fact that angers blacks is that black males need to be trained to act like decent, responsible human beings and not impregnate everything with a vagina and then hit the road and repeat and repeat. It’s the absolute elephant in the room that no liberal and no black will address so they scapegoat white people and the police

 

[d0gbreath]

Ashes to ashes.

Since Blake is now crippled his rape spree is over with. I’d call that a good.

It's not an oversight. ANYBODY can shoot someone in self-defense, with or without a crime, and this is standard lesson material in every police academy in America.

If you're a cop and you are holding a suspect at gunpoint (not yet knowing if he committed a crime), and his hands disappear from your view, you MUST SHOOT IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, you are gambling with your life, and eventually, in one of those gambles you are going to lose (your life).

Once the suspect's hand(s) disappears, he can instantly pull a gun and shoot you, in 1/2 second.. You have NO TIME to react. None. This is why cops always say "Lemme see your hands"

Not charged.
