JACOB BLAKE WOULD STILL HAVE USE OF HIS LEGS...

But he, like so many "innocent black men hunted and killed by racist police officers", chose to fight with the police, and ignore the orders and directives of two men with guns drawn. You have yourself a wanted felon, a rapist, wife-beater, a man with a known history of resisting arrest, yet the narrative is that he was somehow just an innocent young man, harrassed and then shot by a mad dog cop? Nope. He fought the cops, was tased and continued to resist, broke free and was, based on the video evidence, armed with a knife (which was found on the floorboard of the car he was reaching into when shot. Yet Kenosha burned anyway, just like all these other cities... So what is the common theme in the officer-involved deaths that have occured in 2020 that have America burning? Let's take a look:

George Floyd: Rap sheet a mile long, actively resisting arrest, toxicology report shows what is considered a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system, plus myriad other controlled substances, and a list of pre-existing, aggravating medical conditions. Would still be alive if he had not been committing crimes, being on drugs, and resisting arrest.

Rashard Brooks: Rap sheet a mile long, actively resisting arrest, attempting to taser a police officer, drunk. Would still be alive had he not been a criminal and resisting arrest.

Breonna Taylor: Video and taped jailhouse phone records show that the decedent was an active participant in her boyfriends criminal activities, managing his money and assisting with other logistics as he was in and out of jail on a laundry list of drug distribution, firearms charges, etc. A tragic but completely avoidable loss of life on this one. True, she was shot and killed while she lay in bed. BUT, had she not chosen to align herself with a career criminal who attempted to engage the police in a gun fight, she too would still be alive. Everybody gets hung up on the fact that she was in school to be an EMT, apparently getting a free pass for her complicity in the drug and gun distribution ring she participated in.

The list of black people killed by police officers that resulted in riots, looting and other mayhem over the last few years goes on and on and on. Michael Brown? If he hadn't been a criminal, and hadn't assaulted a cop, he'd be alive. Freddie Gray? Don't fight the cops dude. All medical evidence appears to show that he injured himself, fatally. Racist cops aren't out there hunting black people and assassinating them. The reality is, criminals are fighting the cops, resisting arrest, and getting killed for it. Stop pretending otherwise.
