It is stunning how many recent riots over purported racial injustice have been based on phony stories. Ferguson, Missouri was pillaged and burned over the false contention that Michael Brown was gunned down with his hands up (the Obama Justice Department confirmed that he was struggling to kill the police officer arresting him for a strongarm robbery he had just committed by grabbing his gun when he was fatally shot). Baltimore was sacked over the contention that Freddie Gray was assassinated by police officers deliberately tossing him around in a police van (a jury acquitted the officers).
Just this past week, rioters looted downtown Minneapolis on the false story that police had gunned down a suspect who had, in fact, committed suicide. Which was captured on surveillance video. Yet, Target, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom were still looted.
Most damaging of all, 3 months ago, the first videos released to the public created the impression that George Floyd was asphyxiated by Officer Derek Chauvin of the Minneapolis Police, whose knee on his neck prevented him from breathing. That account has now been proven to be false, yet is still embraced by nearly all of the media, public, and political figures (including Rudy Giuliani, whose
address to the RNC referred to the “unforgivable police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis”). The facts of the case have been suppressed with Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison delaying their release, but we now have body cam footage of the entire encounter of Floyd and the medical examiner’s report that indicated he had a fatal overdose of fentanyl in his system, which caused him to complain multiple times, “I can’t breathe,” while sitting upright in the police car from which he bolted, leading to his being pinned down. (For the shocking details, you and Rudy Giuliani should read George Parry’s “
Who Killed George Floyd?”).
We can now add the riots in Kenosha and beyond to list of race riots sparked by assumptions of police behavior that are contradicted by the facts. As with George Floyd, the impressions created by the first videos released to the public were misleading and highly inflammatory. In considering the facts that follow, ask yourself what you would do if you were charged with the task that faced the Kenosha police officers.
The Kenosha Police were called to a residence not to deal with a domestic dispute in which Jacob Blake was a peacemaker, but rather to arrest Blake. They were called by his girlfriend and mother of 3 of his children. The
Wisconsin Department of Justice, which is investigating the shooting, writes,
“Kenosha Police Department officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2800 block of 40th Street after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.”
That same female had made a complaint against Blake abut 4 months ago that led to the issuance of a
warrant for his arrest. Cited in the warrant were her allegations of trespass, domestic abuse, and sexual assault. There were some stark parallels to the situation facing the KPD in the current instance that led to Blake’s shooting:
On May 3, 2020 Kenosha Police Officer Raiche, in full uniform and operating marked squad#3343, responded to 2805 40th Street Unit D, City and County of Kenosha, state of Wisconsin for a report of an ex-boyfriend who had broken into the residence and stole vehicle keys, a vehicle and a debit card from the victim before fleeing. (snip)
LNB stated she was upset but collected herself and ran after the defendant out the front door and then realized her vehicle was missing. LNB ran back inside to her purse, which was on the kitchen counter and checked it, quickly realizing her key to her truck (Ford Explorer 2002), a black individual key and the only key for the vehicle and her Great Lakes Debit Card were missing.

So, what should the officers have done, confronted with Blake, armed with a deadly weapon and attempting to drive away the vehicle with 3 young children in it? The fact that he was able shrug off 2 tasers suggests he may have been on some mind-altering substance like methamphetamine, PCP, or angel dust. The children reasonably could be believed to be at risk in a vehicle fleeing arrest.

The officer who shot Blake, Rusten Shesky, perhaps should have stopped with one shot. Certainly, 7 shots seems like a lot. But Blake had already demonstrated his ability to remain a threat after being tased twice and had physically overcome officers, escaping a head lock. With a deadly weapon at hand, the risks to the officer and the children were not insignificant.
One final note, the woman who swore out the complaint against Blake that led to the warrant for his arrest, the mother of 3 of his children who in her complaint “stated she and the defendant have three children together but have never resided together in the eight years they have been on and off,” is named Laquisha N. Booker (LNB in the warrant). And now that he is represented by Benjamin Crump and will be suing Kenosha for damages, she is calling herself his “fiancé.”
Comment:
According to the leaders of the Democrat Marxist Socialist Commie BLM it doesn't matter what the perpetrators/victims were doing that resulted in their deaths or injuries. It was the fault of the "Brutal Police Tactics".
The 'Real Truth and Facts' are lost in the forest of violence that have followed these incidents.... The 'Fake Narrative' is more acceptable to PMS/DSA Commie Left.... If you tell a lie often enough people will begin to believe the lie....
Whether it was Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Jacob Blake or the perp that committed suicide after robbing a store....
Meanwhile, another city destroyed on the lies of PMS/DSA Democrat Communists and the complicit media.
There's no doubt that media should be held accountable for inciting these riots. They know any stupid unverified statement will set off these thugs and start a riot.
Indeed, the recent riots have been based on propagandistic disinformation for political reasons. In fact, every time a LEO is involved a riot starts. Doesn't matter what it is. BLM and Antifa groups are total frauds. They are the funded tools of the PMS/DSA Democrat Commie Left.
One could claim that the racist attitude and ambivalence to law enforcement by the former president and his vice president are the root of the problem...
