Why didn't he just stop? Since he wasn't apparently at all involved in the domestic situation, he was just trying to get his kids out of there, why did he fight so much? Why did he CONTINUE to fight even when at least two cops had their guns drawn on him?
Yes, it would be interesting to hear him say he was stupid but won't get him the multi-million $$$ payout !!!

He should have listened. I'm gonna do what I want. F the police. They can't tell me what to do. They tase me too. It didn't work. I tell them I am gonna get a gun. I reach into the car as to grab something. I get shot. That is not fair lol! That idiot deserved what happened to him! Stop blaming the cops.

He's paralyzed from the waist down, so even though this is all his fault, he WILL get a payout.

It's unclear whether that will be permanent; prayers he is able to recover.

If he recovers (and I also pray he does), it won't be until after a payout.

Even Lightfoot got in on that one.

You'd think she'd be pretty occupied given the state of her own city.

Oh, no, Chicago and Chicagoans are last in her book. Nothing to worry about - she has it all under control.

If someone is shot 8 times and if they are already saying at this time that he is paralyzed form the waist down, it's doubtful much recovery will happen. (Unless his family is overblowing the diagnosis)

Some questions.

What was the specific call made to the Cops about this situation? Who made the call?

What made them focus their efforts on Blake, instead of the women who were apparently the ones arguing?

Did Blake arrive on the scene BEFORE the cops? Or after they got there?

One interesting note, Blake has 6 children, ranging in age from 3 to 13. He's 29.

Interesting pic of the Blake protesters. ENORMOUS crowd, virtually 100% white.
