When a police officers life is in danger and there are multiple officers on site, they don't discuss who should shoot and who shouldn't. Taking the time to flip a coin isn't practical, so all who are threatened take immediate action. When an officer tells you to comply, reaching for a weapon is a poor decision.
All seven of those shots were caused by a dangerous felon who refused to comply with orders. He "committed suicide by cop". His choice. Should he survive he will be spending a long time in prison. If he doesn't make it, the world is a better place.

In America there is no surer way to show you are a man than by killing another man.
Another Democrat run city shooting an unarmed black man, whats new

Listened to who? The police were called because 2 white women were arguing and Jacob Blake broke up the fight in the meantime. So police again weren’t even needed in this event.

- Jacob Blake wasn’t even committing a crime.

-instead of asking why didn’t he comply. Ask why cops who were drawn to a scene for 2 white women somehow they shifted their attention to an unarmed black man and shot him 7 times.

- there was no reason for the cop to be stopping him

-there was no reason for the gun to be drawn on him

-there was no reason he should have been given orders to comply with in the first place

The families retained prominent civil rights lawyer Ben Crump. They argue Jacob was going to the van to talk to his kids.

He did die of a drug overdose, the coroner confirmed it. The knee on his neck was certainly a factor and didn't help the situation.

Derek Chavin is a bad man who will pay dearly for his crime, he won't be found Not guilty.

It seems diversity isn't always a good thing after all.
So bring back segregation?

Got it.

The only possible chance the police would ever come to take your weapons would be if Creepy Joe the demented pedophle were to be elected. Then it would be a sure thing..

George Floyd was a total LOSER violent criminal who was crying "I can't breathe" even before the officers restrained him from being high on two kinds of drugs.... You should feel sympathy for the pregnant women HE ROBBED and Democrats should set up a GoFundMe for HER. No sympathy for Floyd the piece of garbage, EVER! Maybe if these sympathizers waited for the full video and not jump the gun, we would not have the insane rioting, which by the way has NOTHING to do with Floyd now and everything to do with being a criminal idiot!

So you are saying the police should have waited to give the felon had more time to pull the gun he was reaching for under the seat before deciding if he were a threat or not? There were several officers on scene, they could have at least waited until he shot a couple to confirm if he was a treat..
Reality people, reality.. The bad man is not longer a threat to anyone..
