Funny enough is in Swiss everyone owns at least a gun
The last I heard a gun shot was in Libya
More people have been shot or killed by guns in the almighty USA than Iraq and Syria that are fighting civil war.
Those officers saw his kids there and he was backing them. They have no right to shot him like that
Xisnin:
You are right about his innocence.

However, his reaction shows that he doesn't really believe that US cops shoots
unarmed suspects at random.
This would be like an armed robber ordering someone to empty their pocket and
they are refusing. Of course, we know the armed robber is wrong but escaping
the precarious situation unharmed should be everyone's priority.

He might have thought he is on the right because he has committed no crime
and probably also consider that his kid are in his car.

But complying would only have led to his brief incareceration and release, no shooting.
I know we all want every policemen to behave professionally, but that is nearly impossible
especially in the gun-loving American society.

What is really more baffling in this situations is that no mention is made about the person
who dialled 911 even though they bear some of the blame.

Nice. But this won't actually wake Jacob Blake from death. Life is a one time opportunity once that opportunity is lost through death, then comes Judgement. No one knows the time when death will come. The more reason you must follow JESUS, because in him is eternal life. Accept JESUS today, tomorrow might be too late
He's not dead....yet

In all these black shooting across America, ONE thing is always common in these shooting and that is;... THE BLACK MAN ALWAYS DISOBEYED POLICE ORDER.....

What is so hard to obey police order in order to save your life and that of the officer?
Obey before complain.

If a police man say stop, ...just stop and if he shoots you after stopping then black lives matter call is justified.

If a police man ask you to raise up your hand, .... Just raise up your hand and if he shoot you after raise up your hand then that is a murder case or racism.

The difference between a black man and a white man is that most white men obey police order WHILE most black men don't obey police order............ A police man has every right to defend themselves and the public in such situations.

I think black lives matter organization should spend more time and resources to educate their black population on police relation and constitution.

Re: Jacob Blake: US NBA, MLS, MLB Teams Call Off Games To Protest The Shooting by seunny4lif(m): 11:17am On Aug 27, 2020
They will never shot at him, if he is a white Man, that America for you
Alberta123:
They came with an arrest warrant for him.

He was holding the key to a barbecue shop preventing the owner to open.

Not trying to justify the police actions but this life doesn't have a duplicate.

Fucking comply with the police.

He'll still be alive

I wonder why blacks are always aggressive knowing the history of the trigger happy white police.

The guy shot had a knife in his hand before attempting to get something in his car before been shot at the back after been ordered to stop .

The police man will be let go as he can claim self defense.


It's just a pity he lost his life over nothing.

Fucking listen to instructions from people with gun

How hard is that.

The police man is a psycho though. Shot him 7 times from the back.
He did not have a knife in his hand.
A knife was found at on the floor of the driver side of his car after the shooting.
Before the shooting while walking to his car he wasn't armed with any weapon

What does it being a "Democrat: state have to do with anything?

Trumos rhetoric and divisiveness is tearing the country apart

And his frequent division of the country into "Democrat states and cities" and "Red states and cities" is not even helping matters

The guy na mistake
Each state controls their state police and most critically the law.
Trump even offered national guard when the protesters turned violent but the Governor rejected that same way Portland, Chicago and Minneapolis rejected his assistance.

In terms of systematic, legal or institution effort..
Trump was the one that did Police reform, signed in a bill to ensure ex-covict get good job as well as other reforms...

Trump is the best thing that ever happened to US...

The bitter truth is that both Dems and Rep are racist. If they're not laws would have been set in place to curtail the killings but they know themselves,children, friends who this law will catch up with . Any vice the government wants to put a stop to they'll .
Do you people know that ever since Minneapolis voted to refund the police that place have been unsafe.
The problem is that the Democrat are desperate to return to power. They are ready to support looters and rioters under the guise of peaceful protest. The know fully well that Biden is not a threat at all but trying to start violence in a bid to pressure the people to vote them.

It has become so bad that business owners that pay taxes have to defend themselves. Even people of color are beginning to see what is happening.
Re: Jacob Blake: US NBA, MLS, MLB Teams Call Off Games To Protest The Shooting by Miracle1991: 11:44am On Aug 27, 2020
I am surprised when I see some Nigerians supporting Trump. Infact I feel ashamed when I see those pigs saying Trump is going to win the election. We know white to be racist but Trump's own is the worst.
He see blacks as animals, unfortunately some illiterates from this country sees Trump as their savior but if you ask them what have they achieved as a result of 4yrs of trump leadership, they will have nothing to show.

Tracked US killings by police and other law enforcement agencies including from gunshots, tasers, car accidents and custody deaths. In 2015 they counted 1,146 deaths and 1,093 deaths for 2016 and the average killings is in the rise in these recent years. The database can be viewed by state, gender, race/ethnicity, age, classification (e.g., "gunshot"), and whether the person killed was armed.
No extra judicial killing is justifiable, really blacks are facing serious life threat in that country. USA is among countries with highest rate of crime in the world.

This is stupid talk

Very stupid talk

First of all
George Floyd did not disobey
He died

Ahmad Diallo did not disobey
He was killed too

What of Ahmad Aubery who was on his own when those white fools came to kill em

What of Breonna Taylor that was killed IN HER HOUSE under an illegal operation by police officers

Some of you black folks are just silly, and unbelievable
If you dont see that all these killings are racially motivated

Then indeed you have a problem

I have seen white folks resist arrest and not get shot

I have seen white crackers throw stuff at police and nothing happened to him

These white supremacists have seen the handwriting on the wall....

And are trying to use violence jim crow style to "enforce l" the social order of white on top others beneath

They will fail
Cos when that racial violence they seek erupt
The carnage will be unbelievable

You that rely on left wing media such as CNN,

I condemn what happened in Minneapolis, Southern Kaduna, Enugu, Wisconsin and everywhere but looting and rioting is what I will never advocate for.

According to them Trump is a racist and hates black people.

Ohh Only Rhetoric.

1.Go to Libya and see the hatred meted out on blacks by the other party even when a Blackman was dia.
2. Divisive Rhetoric that is bring peace in the middle east between Isreal and UAE.
3. Divisive Rhetoric that sign an executive order on Christians across the world including Nigeria.
4. Divisive Rhetoric that increase america economy (Pre-Covid) without fighting any war in the middle-east as well as ISIS decimation.


Trump has his own issue as well as every other person but you can fault his achievement especially for Americans.

Three things

One I dont listen to CNN...
Those guys are becoming jokers

CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS

What is common to these three outlets is that they are becoming useless and propaganda machines...


Second...
I agree with you that looting and all that is wrong

But it was captured ON TAPE that those who instigated the riots are undercover cops (who acted on his own accord btw, wanting to cause trouble) and other white supremacists

These three useless aforementioned networks did not cover the story
It's as if they have their own agenda, I dont know


Those who loot and burn do not represent all protestors
The right wing media trying to paint all protesters as looters and destructive elements are lying and mischievous

Those who looted should be caught, arrested and dealt with
No prejudice

And Three

Trump is a racist
His antecedents scream racist
His present screams racist

And even the RNC they are currently having scream racist and fascism too
