Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Interesting how this is getting no coverage

Kenosha Police Associatattorney Brendan P. Matthews and the union representing the involved officers released a lengthy statement aiming to correct the record about facts related to the Jacob Blake shooting.

"The recent officer-involved shooting in Kenosha has produced a variety of feelings and narratives; most of which are wholly inaccurate," the release said. "The purely fictional depiction of events coming from those without direct knowledge of what actually occurred is incredibly harmful and provides no benefit to anyone whatsoever, other than to perpetuate a misleading narrative.The lawyers for Mr. Blake, among others, have continued to provide false and misleading 'facts' to the public, in what can only be considered a ploy for attention and sympathy."

Matthews goes on to say that even the Wisconsin Department of Justice incident update into the investigation has inaccuracies.

These were Matthews' points:
  • The officers were dispatched to the location due to a complaint that Mr. Blake was attempting to steal the caller’s keys/vehicle.
  • Officers were aware of Mr. Blake’s open warrant for felony sexual assault (3rd degree) before they arrived on scene.
  • Mr. Blake was not breaking up a fight between two females when officers arrived on scene.
  • The silver SUV seen in the widely circulated video was not Mr. Blake’s vehicle.
  • Mr. Blake was not unarmed. He was armed with a knife. The officers did not see the knife initially. The officers first saw him holding the knife while they were on the passenger side of the vehicle. The “main” video circulating on the internet shows Mr. Blake with the knife in his left hand when he rounds the front of the car. The officers issued repeated commands for Mr. Blake to drop the knife. He did not comply.
  • The officers initially tried to speak with Mr. Blake, but he was uncooperative.
  • The officers then began issuing verbal commands to Mr. Blake, but he was non-complaint.
  • The officers next went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake, so as to gain compliance and control.
  • Mr. Blake actively resisted the officers’ attempt to gain compliance.
  • The officers then disengaged and drew their tasers, issuing commands to Mr. Blake that he would be tased if he did not comply.
  • Based on his non-compliance, one officer tased Mr. Blake. The taser did not incapacitate Mr. Blake.
  • The officers once more went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake; again, trying to gain control of the escalating situation.
  • Mr. Blake forcefully fought with the officers, including putting one of the officers in a headlock.
  • A second taser (from a different officer than had deployed the initial taser) was then deployed on Mr. Blake. It did not appear to have any impact on him.
  • Based on the inability to gain compliance and control after using verbal, physical and less-lethal means, the officers drew their firearms.
  • Mr. Blake continued to ignore the officers’ commands, even with the threat of lethal force now present.

    I'm betting that they didn't find a knife in his car they found the knife he already had in his hand that he dropped after he was shot. They tased him twice.

    I knew that "he was just breaking up a fight" story was complete crap. That was a Ben Crump special all the way.

    Blake was standing over her saying, 'I want my sh*t.' As the victim laid on her back, Blake, 'suddenly and without warning, reached his hand between her legs, penetrated her vaginally with a finger, pull it out and sniffed it, and said, ''Smells like you've been with other men.''

    So he was going to take a vehicle with 3 hostages while armed. You can not allow that to happen! Ever. The taking of hostages is a you get fucking shot moment.

    I wonder if he’ll get martyr status with a gold casket and 3 funerals like George Floyd did.

    Violent people usually die violent deaths. It’s sad and tragic when anyone loses their life so needlessly at a young age, but, it’s also not surprising. All he had to do was put his weapon down and talk with police. He would have been arrested for trespassing/RO violation and released on bail provided by BLM hours later. It’s all so stupid.

    yeah but 7 shots.

    and why did they taze him... twice... if they were planning on shooting him 7 times, anyway?

    I called a liberal friend of mine to get her opinion on the Blake situation. She was unaware of the knife and unaware of Blake being tased twice. Even after I provided the info she still insisted there was more the cops could have done. No examples- just told me the police shouldn't have taken justice into their own hands. They are so far entrenched in their beliefs there is not point in speaking logically.

    Lebron thinks Jacob Blake was hunted by a cop looking to kill the moment he woke up that day.

    So it must be true.

    Police briefings are like a lottery. The state sends down a giant tub of name tags that the Sgt. draws from. If your name comes up that's who the police try and kill. We get a basket of hispanic names once a week and any other race by proportion of population. I can't believe everyone doesn't understand how this works by now!

    So THAT'S what they mean by systemic racism.

    Trust the process. That had to have taken some doing to get the race reads dialed in.

    What about the Kurds?

    Leftardism is a mental disease. There is no way you can have an honest discussion with one. They are solely invested in their feelings and their herd-like need to virtue signal to each other. They are either proudly ignorant of the actual facts or they proudly ignore the actual facts and then try to persuade you with the strength of their feelings. You can ask them the most basic questions regarding their positions and they will either ignore the question or lie. Ask a leftard who supports AA to define black for AA purposes. I've had that question out there on boards like this for two decades and I haven't gotten one honest response.

    A Seattle soy boy used to email a mutual friend of me twice a week for a good 15 years before I disowned him. At first it was Bush. Then for eight years it was whatever the outrage du jour was. Then in 2015 or so he got TDS and started lashing out even more. When I won an argument with clear facts, he never acknowledged it. He patronized everyone, then acted like the man baby he was when people disagreed with him.

    It's all about being on the "right" side of history and virtue signaling because most of these types have voids in their lives and have little going for them. By the way, he's lived with his mom eight out of the last 12 years.

    The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but Blake is a scumbag who was trying to act too hard for the police and was given several chances. Now this faggot DA dropped charges for political reasons. Just another reason centrists will vote for Trumpet in a couple months.
