The following is posted for your review. If you know anything about the police shooting in Kenosha then you will see how the errors/omissions in the story from the SLATE (far left tabloid news) speak volumes about reporting that is both irresponsible and dangerous.
“Kenosha’s protests began on Sunday after Officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white, repeatedly shot Jacob Blake, who is Black, in the back in front of his children. Video indicates that Blake was walking away from Sheskey (left)when the officer began shooting. He appeared to pose no threat. Blake is alive.”
The police walked behind Blake who had just broken free from them. They had guns drawn and were clearly ordering Blake to stop. He was ordered to get on the ground, because he was under arrest. The story omitted this important part and the fact that during the failed attempt to take Blake into custody he was tased, but amazingly he still managed to break free! That shows extreme resistance.
In a cell phone video, Blake is pictured with what appears to knife with a curved blade in his left hand that is held close to his body as he walks away from police. Blake, refused numerous times to obey police commands to stop as went for the drivers door of a vehicle.
The police now faced a new and urgent problem – children were in the vehicle!
One officer made a last try to pull Blake (shown right) away from the vehicle where he could have grabbed a weapon. It was not until Blake had forced the door open, leaned into the vehicle, with a police officer desperately trying to pull him back that he was stopped by being shot multiple times.
Blake’s final seconds ended when he moved into the vehicle where a weapon could become hidden. If there was a weapon then it is reasonable to assume it would imperil both bi-standers, the officer/s and this includes children in the back seat of the vehicle. The officers were faced with a terrible decision point!
Now keep in mind, at this point police had no idea if the children in the vehicle were his or what his intentions might be towards the children. If he grabbed a gun from the vehicle or if he used the vehicle to flee and what jeopardy would that place the children in mortal danger?
Based on Blakes extremely violent actions just seconds early, remember he had scuffled with the police, and at that time he was tasered. Yet he was able to break free? One might be reasonably inclined to think Blake posed a deadly threat. Blakes last point of resistance came as the officer pursuing him, one with pistol in hand, grabbed at his shirt and Blake pulled away just as he started to get into the vehicle. Why was he doing this? Was it to retrieve a weapon or flee…who knows? However, in either case, this part posed an immediate threat to the safety of children, the officer/s and persons in the vicinity.
It was shoot – don’t shoot, there was no time left for a discussion. Everything was unfolding in a matter of a 2 seconds and a decision had to be made. What would you do, seriously, what would you do?
That’s honestly what happened, its on video. This story clearly bears very little resemblance to the SLATE story filled with half truths and deliberate omissions.
Good article Jack, I am sure if it is all that rewarding for cop hating Liberals and Black to have the backing of media attention, however it is interesting that the bias media is so busy staying on top of these stories, with bias scenarios of their own of course.
Another person of color gets shot for resisting and failure to obey a police command, one that might have just led to his release once things on scene got sorted out. Now we have to sort out the shooting. Those shootings could be avoided if only people would just follow police commands at the scene. It appears we have another case of “hey cop don’t you bother me” I’ll just do my thing and you can kiss off.
Maybe the bias media being so busy with cops having to use force on suspects,(caused by the suspects own actions) especially those of color, maybe just maybe, that’s why the NC shooting is not being promoted in their headlines, or could there be another reason?
Is the media just interested in promoting hatred of Cops by reporting only White officers shooting a non compliant Black suspect, or is this leading up to what really is the problem today. Bias, under researched rush to judgement newscasts, (a TV media thing) However, it does help lead to riots, which also seems to be a a result of the medias model of “lets get a story going” and report facts later. Conveniently that helps lead to a follow up newscast, a riot, which the media seems to report as necessary for BLM advocates/rioters to let off a bit of cop hating steam.
Now lets reverse a color based shooting, what have you read the coverage lately regarding the adult who shot a 5 year old in the head (shooting victim did die) or is a Black adult shooting a white 5 year old out riding his bike no big thing in the eyes of our liberal media. ” seems so to me.
“WILSON, N.C. — A North Carolina man has been arrested after allegedly walking up to a 5-year-old neighbor boy who was playing outside and shooting him in the head.”
Anyone read about the riots caused in Wilson NC, by a angry and shocked fringe militant mostly Caucasian ALL LIVE MATTER activist group?…. I am still looking, how about you?
Not fake.

You think police should be allowed to shoot someone in the back for…getting into a car? Because they might have a weapon in the car?
Scary.
Come on Chris he wasn’t shot for “getting into a car.”
This mans rap sheet included assault on this ex girlfriend including unlawful entry to her home and finger ****ing her against her will, then accusing her of being with other men evidenced by his olfactory investigation. The police, aware of his angry violent record show up when called and attempt to simply arrest a man whi resists arrest, threatens that he has a knife in the car, wrestles his way free, then traces into said car as officers plead with him to cooperate. With a fraction of a second to decide the officer, already adrenaline filled, chose to defend himself and others.
Please refrain from minimizing the experience of the officers to create a victim to exploit.
Please refrain from minimizing and marginalizing our justice system to politicize these events.
Please refrain from rushing to judgement before facts are known, trying police officers in the court of public opinion, and helping to paint a known criminal as a helpless victim.
Please refrain from labeling entire groups of people as racist based on incidents like this in which a bunch of agitators lie, distort the facts, and hype slogans to create chaos, resentment and division in an attempt to achieve Political and social control.
Good Lord, Chris. These cops work more closely every day with people who are actually being victimized by criminals than you or I. As a teacher you no doubt deal with the fall out from the dysfunction and criminality. How can you so easily stand against those who put their lives on the line to help and defend the ex girlfriend and her kids?
America is not a racist country. Police officers From all backgrounds and races work side by side every day.
Ron Paul was assaulted by these thug “protesters” after the convention He has authored several bills to address minority issues and prison reform.
You’re on the wrong side in this. You seem to be too ignorant and uninformed to realize it. Try walking in the shoes of someone other than anarchists and agitators.
Wow….that was good Tina! Sure needed to be said too.
Chris refrain??? Refrain from making a complete ass of himself with his usual, cretinous left-wing lunacy??? Not gonna happen. His idiotic statements and stupid “questions” will never cease. The boy is a juvenile moron. One of these days his wife will figure that out and dump him like Colgan’s wife dumped him, unless she too is a juvenile moron.
Re Jack: “Wow….that was good Tina! Sure needed to be said too.”
Ditto.

Why in the world would anyone with even a smidgen of common sense even consider anything from Slate as truth???????
Here, here!!
You sort of answered your own question….
