Jacob Blake still alive but he may never walk again. |
While the Republican National Convention is going on, unrest continues to happen in the country.
The Republicans are running on a white nationalist platform. They are working overtime to regain the votes of the "forgotten [white] man."
I guess the forgotten are the people who are protesting in the streets demanding the government do something about police reform and accountability.
Another person of color is shot by the police. They have his situation as a serious matter where he could die at any given day. Jacob Blake was shot seven times in front of his children by a Kenosha, Wisconsin cop.
It was caught on camera. The cops will say that he resisted arrest, fled the scene and assaulted an arresting officer. The cops will say he had numerous run-ins with law enforcement. They will say he has a sexual predator charge on him. They will say that he was being arrested on a warrant.
Yet, he was unarmed. And even if he was armed, he didn't have any criminal conviction for owning a firearm in the state of Wisconsin.
The shooting got the attention of NBA legend Lebron James. He said that Black people are terrified of the police. |
- If he would of complied....
- If he would not have reached....
- If he would not have resisted....
- If he would not have done what he's done....
Americans are fucking cynical. They don't see the bigger picture. They don't see a cop grabbing a man and shooting him eight fucking times (at point blank range). They shot him in front of his children.
I am not playing these games with these trolls.
THOSE COPS FUCKED UP BIG TIME.
NOW EVERY COP IS GOING TO FACE SOME FORM OF VIOLENCE BECAUSE OF IT!
So overnight, the mayor of Kenosha has issued a mandatory off the streets curfew at 8pm. The city has imposed a state of emergency. Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency.
The governor, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) have spoken about the situation. They have called for an immediate investigation into the matter.
No comment from Donald J. Trump or Mike Pence.
Agitators set fire to a used car dealership in Kenosha. |
The shooting of Jacob Blake comes only a few days after a Louisiana man was shot and killed by the Lafayette Police.
In this video, a Kenosha cop was hit with a brick. That footage is graphic. The person who hit the cop with the brick will be criminally charged if caught. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The incident was caught on camera.
Now it's confirmed that Blake is paralyzed from the waist down from the shooting.
Jacob Blake, Jr., told the junk food media that his son's is still alive but he may never walk again after this shooting. He said his son has "eight holes" in his body and is paralyzed, though doctors don't know if the situation could end up being permanent.
The father of Jacob Blake says no matter what ppl bring up about his son, he did not deserve to be shot in the back multiple times.— Tariq Nasheed 🇺🇸 (@tariqnasheed) August 25, 2020
He is 100% correct. White supremacists are always finding ways to justify anti-Black terrorism.

Anger over the shooting has became a national topic.
Kenosha has imposed curfews to curb unrest but it's not working. White agitators are setting fire to properties in order to undermine Black Lives Matter and antifa. They see this as an opportunity to make the discussion about mob violence in the country to make a play for the white suburban vote.
The 29-year old is listed in serious condition.
This agitator is often trolling. Andy Ngo is a trying his best to be the new Colin Flaherty. |
In the footage, Blake walks from the sidewalk around the front of his SUV to his driver-side door as officers follow him with their guns pointed and shout at him. As Blake opens the door and leans into the SUV, an officer grabs his shirt from behind and opens fire while Blake has his back turned. Seven shots can be heard, though it isn’t clear how many struck Blake or how many officers fired.
Police did not say whether Blake was armed or why police opened fire, they released no details on the domestic dispute, and they did not immediately disclose the race of the three officers at the scene.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is leading the investigation into the shooting, which is expected to take several weeks.
Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) and Sen. Johnson, called on Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to do more to quell the unrest. Steil said he would request federal assistance if necessary.
A Wisconsin state lawmaker said Evers and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is Black, encouraged violence with their comments after the shooting.
"They did not call for peace. They did not encourage calm," Republican state Sen. Howard Marklein said. "They did encourage people to jump to conclusions and take negative action."
Evers' spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The shooting of Jacob Blake is another flashpoint in the Black Lives Matter movement. |
In Madison, about 500 protesters marched to the state Capitol on Monday night, and some broke windows, stole from stores and sprayed graffiti along the way. Police used tear gas and pepper spray on the crowds and six people were arrested, according to Madison police.
To anybody that’s gonna attempt to absolve the police from shooting Jacob Blake 8 times, just watch this video. #Kenosha pic.twitter.com/xZ6i7FGQN4— Kip Smithers 🏁 (@Chughes612) August 24, 2020
African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!
STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!
If you fear for your life, you shouldn't be a cop.
Everytime an unarmed suspect is shot and killed by the police, the far-right wants to look up the criminal history of the suspect. Andy Ngo, a far-right gay extremist is the "Asian Colin Flaherty."
Again, why do police believe a fleeing suspect is a "threat on their lives?"
Cops should be able to take down a suspect without use of force. They have them Tasers! Oops, they shot people who grab Tasers.
They get in their vehicles and pull off. Oops. Cops shoot at cars when they back up and flee.
Everyday at least 103 people die from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country. Police shootings are part of the systematic problem with gun violence. No amount of training will ever stop a cop from using split judgement when it comes to a life-or-death situation. However, given how many of these incidents should have involved deescalation, these fatal encounters should have been prevented.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. NOW A BLACK MAN FLEEING AN ARRESTING OFFICER COULD BE KILLED. WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK MAN.
THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE.
MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM?
WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS.
We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
