So let's start at the beginning. Media reports were that the Police officers were only there because there were two women fighting over a minor car accident. The original reports suggests that Jacob Blake was just being a Good Samaritan in trying to break the the fight, when the police came, hassled him (likely for being black), and then shot him in the back.
Other than the fact that Jacob Blake got shot, almost none of this was true. The Police were actually called because Jacob Blake was in violation of a restraining order by being at his ex-girl friend's house. His ex-girlfriend was who called them. The restraining order was in place because he was accused of domestic and sexual assault. There was a warrant out for his arrest at the time the police officers were called.
Secondly, both the Police officers and Jacob Blake agree on the basic concept that Blake was carrying a knife at the time of the police call. There is some confusion as to whether he dropped the knife in the car (it was found in the front of the car where he was shot) or if it had at some time been put in the car and then he was going back to get it.
There is also no dispute that Jacob Black was not being cooperative. He fought against the police and actually fought his way through the normal taser that is used by police officers in this situation. The alternative here is to simply suggest that if a criminal suspect simply resists enough, that police are obligated to let them go.
Either way, the concept that Jacob Blake was there breaking up a fight and was simply hassled for no reason by the cops is not even remotely true, and it begs the serious question as to why that is what was reported by CNN and others.

I think if I were a police officer, I could convince myself never to shoot someone (especially in the back) unless I saw them reach for and take in hand some sort of weapon and begin to turn it toward me to try to use it.
You’d never pass the background check with your proclivity to molest young children
Just shut the fuck up
I think if I were a police officer, I could convince myself never to shoot someone (especially in the back) unless I saw them reach for and take in hand some sort of weapon and begin to turn it toward me to try to use it.
I think if I was someone who had a warrant out for my arrest and a restraining order against me... I wouldn't be violating that restraining order and then getting physical with cops in front of my three children.
But hey...
either you side with the criminal (as you do)
or you side with law enforcement (as I do)
Simple choice.

If you waited that long you would be a dead James.
Life comes at you fast.
The 3 shot (2 killed) in #Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot have been identified.
Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was the first one killed. Video allegedly shows him chasing teen shooter & throwing something at him. Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender for a sex crime involving a minor.
Anthony Huber, 26, was shot & killed in Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot. He was filmed chasing down the armed teen and hitting him when he was on the ground with a skateboard. He has a criminal history that includes charges of battery & repeat domestic abuse. #KenoshaRiots
The third who was shot (& survived) is Gaige Grosskreutz, 26. He's a member of the People’s Revolution Movement. He was filmed chasing after the teen w/a pistol. He was shot at close-range in the upper arm. He has a criminal record that includes being intoxicated & armed w/a gun.
Very definably sounds like self-defense. The rioters had a record of viciously assaulting anyone who got in the way of their looting and burning. One elderly shopkeeper is still in the hospital with a broken jaw and various internal injuries due to the severe beating he received at the hands of the rioters.
😂I think if I were a police officer🤣

So James how exactly did you determine he wasn't a threat to the police officers? Expert that you are in policing.

How did you decide that?
Looking at the video, it does not seem to me that the man entering the car had a chance to do anything threatening before shots were being fired.

Suddenly Trump Cares About Diversity

John Avlon notes that President Trump will have put three times as many African Americans on stage at the Republican National Convention as he has appointed to his West Wing, Cabinet and US Attorney’s offices… combined.
“It’s a sign that the rhetoric doesn’t remotely match the record.
A VERY long speech. A much, much, much too long speech. And the crowd's "enthusiasm" was weak.
Trump reads his speech as if he is reading a dirge. The words are supposed to be uplifting, but he manages to make them seem like a lament.
Slow Joe will be in public after Labor day .
The Internal polling must be devastating.
FAKE SPEECH
Business Insider says:
Trump's acceptance speech at the RNC was an exercise in misinformation that didn't stack up with reality
Sonam Sheth and Eliza Relman 1 hour ago
President Donald Trump tore into Democratic nominee Joe Biden on the final night of the Republican National Convention, portraying Biden as weak on critical issues like crime, immigration, China, and the coronavirus pandemic.
The Democratic agenda is "the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee," Trump said.
The president also spread misinformation and conspiratorial claims about everything from mail-in voting, police brutality protests, impeachment, the Russia probe, and COVID-19.
Scroll down to read the president's remarks and how they stack up with reality.
President Donald Trump took center stage on the final night of the Republican National Convention on Thursday.
In his speech, the president tore into the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, and portrayed him as weak on critical issues like crime, immigration, China, and the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is the most important election in the history of our country," Trump declared. "At no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties."
The president argued that Biden's agenda would be "extreme" and coopted by "left-wing socialists" — a case the GOP has been attempting to make for months. On Wednesday night, Pence similarly accused Biden of being "a trojan horse for a radical left."
"At no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, or two agendas," Trump said. "We have spent the last four years reversing the damage Joe Biden inflicted over the last 47 years. At the Democrat convention, you barely heard a word about their agenda. But that's not because they don't have one. It's because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee."
During a highly scripted speech, Trump ridiculed Biden, making a joke about womens' accusations that Biden had touched them inappropriately.
"Joe Biden took donations from blue collar workers, gave them hugs, and even kisses," Trump said, pausing to let the audience laugh. "And told them he felt their pain and then he flew back to Washington and voted to ship our jobs to China and many other distant lands."
Trump also spouted misinformation and conspirational claims about many of his favorite topics including: mail-in voting, antiracism and police brutality protests, impeachment, the Russia investigation, and more.
Here were some of Trump's most notable claims and how they stack up with reality:
On protests against police brutality
What Trump said:
The president condemned nationwide protests against racism and police brutality, and claimed a Biden administration would enable violent crime and chaos. He argued that Democratic mayors and governors have failed to contain demonstrations across the country, and made no mention of the Black victims of police brutality.
He also falsely claimed Biden would defund the police if elected.
Fact-check:
Although several left-wing activists and progressive lawmakers have supported calls to "defund the police," top Democrats and establishment figures like Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer have rejected the proposal. Vox also recently examined Biden's criminal justice policy and found that his plan would "actually increase the number of police officers in Black and brown communities."
Moreover, Biden has supported directing $300 million in new funding for social workers to work with law enforcement and for stronger community policing.
On COVID-19
What Trump said:
The president argued that he and his administration have led an effective response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the US, directing personal protective equipment and medical supplies and setting up nationwide testing, among other responses. And he claimed the US will have a "safe and effective" Covid-19 vaccine by the end of 2020.
"Nobody ever thought it could be done this fast," he said. "Together, we will crush the virus."
"We are focusing on the science, the facts, and the data," the president added.
Fact-check:
The Trump administration has failed to establish a nationwide system of quick and effective testing. Many Americans have been forced to wait days to receive their test results, dramatically diminishing the efficacy of the tests and contact tracing efforts.
Nearly 6 million Americans have been infected and about 180,000 have been killed by Covid-19, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. An average of 1,000 Americans are dying every day from the coronavirus.
Trump also spent the first several months of the outbreak spreading misinformation about the virus, falsely claiming it was no deadlier than the flu, that it would go away on its own, and that it was a hoax that was being hyped up by the media and Democrats. He also suggested using disinfectant as a potential remedy for the disease and said he used hydroxychloroquine, an unproven treatment, to prevent getting infected.
He was repeatedly seen in public without a mask until recently, and he held several rallies that featured no social distancing and very few masks. Around 1,500 people attended Trump's acceptance speech on Thursday, and it was unclear whether everyone was tested before joining the crowd on the South Lawn.
On the economy
What Trump said:
The president boasted that his administration had built a booming economy prior to the pandemic-provoked economic collapse, and argued that only he could "make American great again" for the second time.
Trump misleadingly claimed the country's "gained over 9 million jobs" over the last sevearl months — "a record in the history of our country."
Fact-check:
The lost jobs as a result of the pandemic have far outnumbered the jobs regained. As of the end of July, nearly 60% of American jobs lost during the pandemic have still not returned and the speed of the nation's recovery slowed in July, as compared to June.
Biden is called to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, which would be lower than it was in 2016. And he's said that no one making under $400,000 would see a tax increase.
On the military
What Trump said:
The president claimed that he gave the military three pay raises in three years.
Fact check:
The pay raises were standard, annual pay raises according to federal regulations. The military has received an annual pay raise every year for more than four decades.
On immigration
What Trump said: The president claimed that Biden is "even talking about taking the wall down." He also said that he built 300 miles of a wall along the US's southern border.
Fact-check:
As CNN's Daniel Dale pointed out, Biden has specifically rejected the idea of taking the border wall down and has instead said that he will stop further construction. Trump also failed to mention that just five miles out of the 300-miles-long southern wall were built in a place where there wasn't already a fence.

That's not fact checking it's Democrat spin James.
He also falsely claimed Biden would defund the police if elected.
Not a false claim. Biden said he would "redirect" funds away from police to "social programs". That is defunding the police no matter how you spin it.
Democrats really think the American people are stupid.

you lie regularly and with impunity.

FAKE SPEECH
Trump Casts Election as Crusade for Law and Order
August 28, 2020 at 6:07 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 26 Comments
“President Trump accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for a second term on Thursday, joining a general-election contest against Joe Biden that he and his party cast this week as a crusade against left-wing ideology and violent social disorder, fought against the backdrop of a virus that Republicans largely described as a temporary handicap on the economy,” the New York Times reports.
“In a 70-minute speech on the South Lawn of the White House, Mr. Trump repeatedly misrepresented his own record on the coronavirus, part of a broader attempt to minimize his lapses in office and turn a harsh light toward his opponent, Mr. Biden, a moderate Democrat.”
“The president also accused his rival and Democrats of failing to take on rioters, though Mr. Biden has condemned recent acts of violence, and of harboring designs to restructure the American economic system along socialist lines.”
Washington Post: “Trump cast himself as an insurgent rather than the incumbent he is, railing against Biden as eminence of ‘the failed political class.'”
No Bushes, Reagans, Cheneys or McCains
August 28, 2020 at 6:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 5 Comments
New York Times: “There were no Bushes, Cheneys, Bakers or Doles. There were no former Republican presidents or vice presidents, or prominent former cabinet members like Condoleezza Rice, who were part of Republican White Houses over the decades leading to Mr. Trump’s election. Indeed, two names were barely mentioned over roughly 10 hours of convention speeches and video: Bush and Reagan. (And never mind anyone named McCain.)”
“Their absence seems to be the final signature on the divorce between the old guard and Mr. Trump, as well as proof, if it were still needed, of how much he has taken over the party. And the feeling is mutual. The old guard — the elected officials, cabinet members and political operatives — has shown little interest in being part of the Trump pageant, and Mr. Trump has had little interest in having it join his show.”
Betsy DeVos Out of Sight
August 28, 2020 at 6:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 5 Comments
“School choice is finally getting prime-time attention as President Donald Trump makes the issue a focal point of his reelection bid, appealing to parents clamoring for an alternative to neighborhood public schools during the pandemic,” Politico reports.
“But the policy issue’s biggest cheerleader, his Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, has been kept out of that spotlight.”
Trump’s Convention Was ‘Clearly Illegal’
August 28, 2020 at 6:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The South Lawn speech was the final demolition of the boundaries between governance and campaigning in a week full of such eroding,” the New York Times reports.
Playbook: “It’s really shocking that the president used America’s monuments — Fort McHenry, the Washington Monument and the White House — for nakedly partisan political purposes. It’s clearly illegal.”
Trump’s Speech Widely Panned
August 28, 2020 at 6:17 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 53 Comments
The Washington Post called President Trump’s acceptance speech “a tidal wave of tall tales, false claims and revisionist history.”
Politico: “It wasn’t a terribly effective address. The speech lacked structure and thematic discipline. The president swerved between topics, some of which felt beneath the occasion, and appeared so drained by the marathon effort that he failed to punch through what should have been the most impactful moments.”
CNN: “His delivery — particularly in the first 30 minutes or so of this way-too-long speech — was without emotion and decidedly flat.”
Trump Pretends Pandemic Is Over
August 28, 2020 at 6:09 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 18 Comments
Washington Post: “A pandemic is raging, preventing Americans from traveling freely, shuttering schools and keeping businesses closed. But not at Trump’s White House. The perfectly manicured lawn was filled with little white chairs that were spaced inches apart and most of the 1,500 or so people in attendance were maskless.”
“Cabinet members, Trump family members, supporters and a beatific Vice President Pence were all nestled up next to one another. It wasn’t so much a cult of denial, but a cult of personality.”
Playbook: “His election pitch is: Pretend this calamity never happened. Transport yourself to six months ago. And, if you looked at the White House lawn Thursday night and saw the maskless masses, it’s clear that the GOP wants to pretend that this public-health nightmare is over.”
CNN: “Combined with the repeated references to the coronavirus pandemic in the past tense, the images projected a post-pandemic world, even as deaths mount.”
Re: 6:22 I do not lie. Trump does. And you fall in behind him. Every time..
It is a simple fact that he only went back and tried to cover over what he had said AFTER there were manyh strong objections, some coming from Republicans, to his statement that there were fine people on both sides.
Even now, Trump will not even disassociate himself from QAnon.
Fine people there too, I suppose.
Lying POS "pastor" james
Trump clarified what he said because people were lying about what he said.
He did NOT praise white supremists or Nazis.
Those are words inserted by a FAKE NEWS media and despicable people.
Like you and your savior GODdard
James, relax, remember.
You're winning, landslide, blue tide and more, I hear.
