| Video Shows Police Shooting Of An African-American Man in Kenosha, Wisconsin ‐ Protests Starting |
| 2020-08-24 |
| [Red State] Breaking news early Sunday evening in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The video below shows a confrontation between Kenosha Police and an adult African-American man. All that can be seen from the video at this point is the man exiting the passenger-side of the car as 3 officers have their firearms drawn. In an agitated fashion the man walks quickly around the front of the car to the driver’s side door which he opens, as all 3 officers have their weapons pointed at him. As he tries to enter the car, one of the three officers grabs the white t-shirt the man is wearing and attempts to keep him from entering the car. A woman is seen in a distraught condition, and one officer moves to keep her away. Reports are that as many as eight shots were fired. |

| #23 If one pays attention to the video that's out th here its starts with a shoot of the SUV. It then goes blank for a second and we see the SUV, the victim and the officers. Judicious editing perhaps. We see nothing of what transpired beforehand. As to the mayor. He may be a registered Democrat but he isn't the Seattle or Portland type of Democrat. I know him and he usually is in favor of common sense solutions. |

| #19 Every time I look for a rap star's biography I keep finding their obituary page instead, they apparently keep knocking each other off gangster style. |

| #17 I sometimes suspect that the mostly white Antifa , brings along a sacrificial black man that they can arrange to be shot for the "Cause" . If law enforcement wont shoot him they'll do it themselves . |

| #15 ESfB4589: the concept of "the criminal" no longer exists. There are only State Sponsored victims. The trick is to know where you fall in that spectrum. |

| #14 ^ Doesn't change anything, we'll just hear screeching about "it's not a death penalty offense to try to duck a warrant," and "now you're blaming the victim! Rayciss!!!" |

| #13 They usually ignore police to try to get away for some reason. The Reason: Just came out that he is wanted for sexual assault, tresspassing, dissorderly conduct, domestic abuse. Rap sheet includes past felony resisting arrest, had to be subdued by a police dog, injury to a police officer, intoxication, theft of an SUV, etc. etc. etc.. |

| #11 So watch the video. All you see is the last few seconds before the shooting. What happened before, what was said. The cops did not want him in the car. When a cop says to stop, you stop. I challenge any arm chair second guesser to live in that cops shoes. Now the media will make him out to be a darling of his community, family man, etc... His blood test and the rest of the videos will say otherwise. But the media is creating news with this. Now we will have riots, prime time coverage, great ratings, and add revenues….. |

| #10 PJ Media reports these are BLM riots, so with that update I am moving the article to Fifth Column on Page 1: War on Terror. |

| #9 The people who refuse to comply with various law enforcement commands in these situations have been convinced by the MSM and "activists" that they don't have to comply with the po-po. They bring it on themselves with that sort of thinking. I guarantee you I will be the most docile person you ever met if that's any help in avoiding being tased, pepper sprayed or shot. |

| #8 Just in time for the GOP convention. We should expect a lot more of these as we approach November, particularly if schools are shut down, thereby depriving the Dems of the usual election year school shooting incidents that are such vital components of their campaign strategies. |

| #7 He must've been so high on something to ignore a taser. |

| #6 Before resorting to gunfire, the police attempted to subdue Blake with a Taser, to no avail, it was reported. So who, exactly, escalated? |

| #5 Sounds plausible, thank you AlanC. Even if the multiple commands possibly were 'unintelligible', he should have known, or cared, enough to stop what he was doing and stand still. |

| #4 Mr. Mullah, You say you seem to be ignoring the other officers and me. I've seen enough of these vids to know that half the time the cops are all screaming contradictory commands. A) the screaming makes it unintelligible and B) who should be obeyed? Not placing any blame but the training and tactics seem to need a real over-haul. |

| #2 The news is saying that he was getting into the vehicle. That's misleading as it looks like he was getting something out of the front seat or console. If I'm an officer, and I can't see what you're grabbing, I'd go on maximum alert really fast. Especially when you seem to be ignoring the other officers and me. Plus, the gathering hostile crowd wouldn't be helping my sense of well-being. |

| #1 Defies police instruction. Returns to his car to potentially retrieve something, BLAM x8. Perp survives. Wisconsin taxpayers now on the hook for med bills, rations, housing, legal fees. If after 8 rounds, head shots at 1 meter are out of the question, how about Cyanide ammo ? |
