So when millions of us have seen with our own eyes the execution of unarmed black men, can someone explain how any policeman still feels permitted to do dastardly deeds like what was done to Jacob Blake tonight? (And don’t dare anyone say that we don’t have all the facts yet)

Here are some facts coming in from the universe... #JacobBlake has a criminal history of pulling a gun in public and resisting arrest... racinecountyeye.com/police-k…

We can all wait for more facts, but the video clearly shows a cop shooting a man in his back 7 times.

Pre emptive conditions on comments: ..."Don't dare say..." ...when in fact there are always more facts, and responding with riots and looting isn't changing the problem. "OnTwoKneesOne Saviour

Guns and permission to shoot

I fully support BLM and IMO what the police did was wrong and potentially criminal and they should be punished, however given the training theyve received and the criminal history of the person I genuinely believe this time that they would have done the same even if he was white

Because they are all serial killers that nobody will ever hunt down...they are legal murderers...

Facts: Blake was being arrested for a warrant for violence with a gun, DV, and history of assaulting police. While attempting to cuff him, he pushed officers away (video starts) and was walking to his SUV. During his previous arrest, police found a gun under the seat of that SUV.

It's cuz the protestors lit the courthouse on fire and some cop got hit in the head with a brick AFAIK. Sad world where that's totally understandable and saintly compared to the mob in uniform.

Because they've declared war on PoC, and it's not getting any coverage. portcitydaily.com/local-news…
