Video shows Wisconsin police shooting a Black man multiple times as he enters a car

The courts will figure it out. Since you like making snap judgments, what is your judgement of the raw video?

GRAPHIC NSFW
Inversion fallacy.

Watching the video I see a Jacob ignoring the police, leaving the scene of violence, and reaching into his car for something. He was shot when reaching into his car. That to me indicates he was reaching for a weapon. If I were on that jury, I don't see an unjustified shooting.
 
Blake does bear responsibility for his actions but so does the officer who shot him with the last 3-4 rounds in his back as Blake lay slumped across the seat. The video has 3 spaced rounds fired then 4 in quick succession. Blake's legs can be under the car door. He was down after the first three rounds.
Wrong.

What weapon?
 
But if we look at the genesis of the situation it was Blake and Blake alone who caused things to escalate. If he had only followed commands none of the other things happen.

By the numbers.....very simple. Start counting and stop at two. If three doesnt happen,.....you never get to four.

Exactly. Like any tragedy, it only happens when multiple things line up in sequence. Jacob didn't have to get shot. If followed the officers commands, none of it would've happened. Indeed, the officers wouldn't have drawn their guns in the first place.
 
A court will decide, but if you watched the video then I'm sure you will see that the shooting officer appeared to be quick on the trigger and overly zealous in pumping rounds into a slumped body.

Nope. Jacob was clearly putting himself in further danger of getting shot.
 
It was not about arresting him. You do not need to shoot 11 times from close range to secure an arrest. It was a murder that may have failed.

Seven. At least get the number right. An officer will basically empty the magazine into the target if they have to shoot. Don't fuck with the cops. Don't ignore the cops when they tell you to stop. You won't get shot. It's as simple as that.
 
In the back? 7 times?

Yes. Jacob was reaching into his car for something. Like a weapon quite possibly. He had already ignored multiple commands to stop. The officers had already drawn their guns long before Jacob reached the car. If an officer shoots, they will keep shooting. Realize this, don't ignore the cops, and don't reach into your car like that.

"quite possibly"? That is NOT an excuse to shoot a man in the back 7 times. Anyone with any training in firearms use would know this.
Yep, they had guns drawn before he got to his car. They already had the advantage, therefore he should have made sound judgement..
In this incident, he didn't.

That is what I said.

My view is not the officer's view. The video is not the officer's view. Jacob was reaching into the car after ignoring officer commands to stop. They had already drawn their weapons. Jacob did not need to get shot. He chose his path.
Anyone with any training in firearms use would know this.
Anyone good training in firearms realizes the very real possibility that what Jacob was getting was a weapon, particularly after ignoring multiple commands to stop, and being involved in a domestic dispute (violence). Also anyone with good training in firearms against human targets does not shoot just one shot. You keep shooting. You don't take any chances. This isn't a hunting trip.

Quite right. Jacob had the choice to follow the commands of the officers. He knew the officers had their guns already drawn. They don't just brandish their weapons that carelessly. Again, any trained shooter does not brandish carelessly. Everyone knows what a gun can do. Everyone knows how easy an accident can happen.

These idiot Democrats and BLM sympathizers figure that any officer that happens to shoot a black man is in cold blood.

Don't think so.

See we can agree sometimes. ;)
