Impressive, if you learned of those things, yourself.   

I can't help, but wonder though, if the permatroll assisted you, with some of his google-fu.

Enough of that childishness.

 

After that I speculated it was also possible he was hesitating because of political reasons, and ironically ended up starting the riot he was trying to prevent.

"Shooting the guy, shooting the guy in the back many times, I mean, couldn't you have done something different?" Trump said. "Couldn't you have wrestled him?"  (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-compared-police-who-shoot-people-to-golf-players-who-mess-up-their-shots-the-night-before-visiting-the-aftermath-of-the-jacob-blake-shooting-in-kenosha/ar-BB18A3QZ?li=BBnb7Kz)


As they say, great minds think alike.


I am in total agreement with Trump, in concluding that Office Sheskey choked, in his decision, to shoot Blake, in his back.  Our US President possesses great critical wisdom, in his raising this question, to the public and police.  Trump in 2020 baby!!!   


I look forward to reading the similar group-think criticism, for Trump raising the same question I did earlier.   

Could the cop have wrestled him to the ground? Trump's question is a fair one, and after action analysis should address this question because there are nearly always things that could be improved on.

But the more detailed question that needs to be answered would be whether the officer could have done something different reasonably safely. Could the officer have reasonably holstered his firearm and gone hands on given what he knew at the time?

We don't know the answer to that yet though. We know the man mentioned a knife IIRC which would give a reasonable person hesitation to tackle him. We know that it was reported a knife was found near/on the driver's seat and at that point he was well within the dangerous distance. So if you were a cop would you tackle a man you had reason to believe was holding a knife?

The Cops had already gone hands on and also tried tasering him.

You should read the rest of this thread rather than picking up on only the latest 2 or 3 posts ...

I already knew cops had gone hands on and used a taser. And if you pay attention to the time stamps, I didn't respond to the latest posts, I responded to ones several days earlier.
