First we had the George Floyd riots. Hell the Portland riots that first started with his death are still going, about 90 days later!! Now it’s Jacob Blake’s turn to spark riots. Yes he was shot by a white officer and 8 times seems excessive, but FACTS don’t seem to matter anymore to anyone!! Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death, I guess that is not a fact! He had heart disease, I guess that is not a fact! So I suppose none of these things contributed to his death, just the white cop on his neck!!
Jacob Blake has a record on May 3rd he was involved in an incident with sexual assault and misdemeanor trespassing and disorderly conduct. He was charged July 6th and he had a warrant out for his arrest. Police were responding to a 911 call on August 19th and they knew he was there. A confrontation at a Racine County, Wisconsin, bar led to a combative traffic stop and a total of five criminal charges in September 2015, including resisting an officer, disorderly conduct and three gun-related ones. No conviction here but there seems to be a pattern of bad behavior. I suppose justice for Jacob Blake is more important than justice for the woman who he sexually assaulted and had harassed for years. Where are the #MeToo people?
Fact, 32 officers have been feloniously killed 2020. Felonious assault is an unlawful attack or attempted attack, accomplished through force or violence, that causes physical injury to another person. Fact, 215 white people have been shot and killed by police in 2020. Fact, 111 black people have been shot and killed by police in 2020. To the media BLM and Antifa, facts don’t matter. Their personal agendas, destroy President Trump at every turn, shove police brutality down our throats and fight fascism are the only things that matter. Antifa is the group using fascist tactics not trying to stop fascism. Our returning sports stars don’t seem to care about facts either, they all just boycotted their own games recently in support of Jacob Blake and justice for him.
Here is my take. Fact, I don’t watch the news, too biased. Fact, I am not watching ESPN, they kowtow to BLM and millionaire players. Fact, before I write an article I wait for facts to come out before I form an opinion. Facts could save someone’s life. A true representation of the facts could let people form their own opinion. The court of public opinion does not wait for facts. The Judicial Branch is where the facts matter and where the facts can change things for the better.
