Decision Near In Jacob Blake Shooting: National Guard Mobilized

[Slade3200]

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.

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?

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. 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

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

Is that the reasoning of the DA?

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

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"

If a perp threatens the life of a cop or citizen and that cop or citizen fires in self defense then wouldn’t the perp be committing a crime by threatening that persons life?

Yes....the DA is a coward and should press charges against blake for the various felonies he committed when he tried to kidnap those children.

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. 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.

Those DAs sure have a lot of power

A ton of power. It is where most criminal cases are tried.

He is afraid of more riots.......it will be bad enough when the democrats burn the city for not persecuting the cops.....if he prosecuted the felon who was kidnapping children they will be even worse....they might even assassinate him...

Oh, I stopped caring about what the media cares about a few seconds after I was born so that’s not a very strong argument in my eyes

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Why would people riot, is it because they're rock dumb or just dumb enough to be provoked by mainstream propaganda that presents false narratives supporting racism, chaos and antonyms?

I guess cops are supposed to allow people to resist arrest and reach into their vehicles for a weapons, though PROG-news calls this "he was just walking away". Poor fellow.

[protectionist]

If a perp threatens the life of a cop or citizen and that cop or citizen fires in self defense then wouldn’t the perp be committing a crime by threatening that persons life?

Not necessarily. As I explained in Post # 18, by simply having his hands go out of view of the cop, he is threatening that cop, and is 99% likely to be shot instantly. If the cop does not shoot when the hands disappear (crime or no crime), he isn't doing his/her job right.

Time and time again, these shootings occur to suspects who don't know this, and they wind up getting shot ; police officer exonerated.
Examples abound > Terrence Crutcher & Betty Shelby, Jeronimo Yanez & Philando Castille, Philip Brailsford & Daniel Shaver, Jacob Blake & Rusten Sheskey, etc.
