There was an active arrest warrant in Blake's name at the time of the shooting, the Tribune reported, though there is no suggestion that the police were called because of that.

Court records indicate Blake had been charged with third-degree sexual assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse on July 6.

He also had a deadly weapon in the car plus his 3 kids...

There we go again LT defending a white police officer shooting a man 7 times in the back

No I am realistically showing that if you are a known criminal with a warrant out on you and you are breaking the law by violating a court order do not ignore the police with guns telling you to lie down, do not run to you car and make a grab for a deadly weapon as you will get shot in America

fact

basically comes down to defending those vile disgusting cops

So once they'd been attacked, should the cops have not reacted when Blake reached for something in his vehicle?

Tell me why have they gave no evidence to the Knife being there and why did it take them 3 days to make an announcement about it? and they have a lot of eye witnesses that refute the clams of the bastard cops #DefundthePolice

Yet they allowed white man days before attack them and steal their car but not once was a gun raised

Who? When? Link?

Was it the same cops?

.

reacting is something else than shooting a man multiple times in his back

this yet again proves the law enforcement system is severely flawed in US


silly white privileged cops, about time justice system should be taken care of, no more corruption, racism, unnecessary violence there

yeah lol, mainly because they are white, and then you can't do anything wrong with these vile cops :idc:

Jacob Blake, the black man shot seven times in the back by police in the US state of Wisconsin, has been handcuffed to his hospital bed, his family says.

Mr Blake was paralysed by the shooting and it is not clear if he will recover.

Police in Kenosha told the BBC that Mr Blake was in custody for previous warrants and the handcuffs were policy.

Meanwhile, a court hearing for a teenager charged with killing two people during unrest over Mr Blake's shooting has been delayed by a month.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, had been due to appear before a court in Lake County, Illinois, for a hearing on a request to have him extradited to Wisconsin. But a judge postponed the extradition hearing until 25 September, the Associated Press reported.

Mr Rittenhouse did not appear during Friday's brief video conference.

He faces six criminal counts, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon below the legal age of 18.

Kyle Rittenhouse is being defended by a prominent legal firm whose clients have included President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudolph Giuliani and former Trump adviser Carter Page, according to Reuters news agency.

Mr Blake's shooting in the city of Kenosha sparked demonstrations there and in other cities across the US. It has been relatively quiet for the past two nights.

Mr Blake's father, also called Jacob Blake, spoke to reporters after visiting his son in hospital.

"I hate it that he was laying in that bed with the handcuff on to the bed," he said, quoted by the Chicago Sun-Times. "He can't go anywhere. Why do you have him cuffed to the bed?"

Mr Blake's lawyers have said it will take "a miracle" for him to walk again.

Lt Eric Klinkhammer, of the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, told the BBC: "Mr Blake is in custody for previous felony warrants. Our policy indicates that all people in custody outside of our jail facility shall be secured with restraints."

TS have you had a wee drink?😁

Yet another instance of police cruelty. They paralysed him, he's not going anywhere.

Trump got exactly what he wanted, trump supporters attacked a BLM march in Portland which has left 1 person dead.

He has been asking for a race war for months

Funnily enough, people keep saying that Biden condones the riots and the violence when he doesn’t, yet Trump has today literally made excuses and condoned even more violence and nobody bats an eyelid, it’s tiring

I've not been following Trump, what did he say?

it's up to the american people to get their house in order, they have the opportunity to change things in November if it's what they really want

It is neverending. Defund the police.

Its now getting like 2016 Election.
Trump is using the Battles in America
to gain more support.

Meaning Biden is a Vote for Criminal Looters etc.

tazered for failing to lie down and follow order. Police have to get suspect on ground to immobilise and check for weapons. Standard procedure when dealing with a potential shooter

once again, fo what the police say

since when is it an must to lie down, since hands up is also a correct way of surrender to law enforcement

and yes this particular suspect very much looked like he surrendered

a ''potential shooter'' wouldn't put his hands up either
