Here We Go Again

On Sunday, police were called to a domestic dispute in Kenosha Wisconsin. The dispute, apparently, was between two women. There was a man, Jacob Blake, who was trying to break up the fight. For some reason, police interest turned to Blake.

According to Heavy.com:

According to Wisconsin Circuit Court Access online records, a Jacob S. Blake, same age and with an address in the same exact block where the shooting occurred, had a warrant issued for him on July 7 on pending accusations of misdemeanor criminal trespass to a dwelling with domestic abuse as a modifier; felony third-degree sexual assault with domestic abuse as a modifier; and misdemeanor disorderly conduct with domestic abuse as a modifier. A support action was dismissed, and the only other case that comes up is for not having a driver’s license.

A 2015 story in Racine Eye described how “Racine police say K9 Dozer had to help officers take a man into custody when the man refused to go quietly into custody after he pulled a gun at a local bar.” The man was described as Jacob Blake, 24, of Racine, which makes him the same age as the man shot by police on August 23. The Racine Eye story says he was charged with “one felony count of resisting arrest causing a soft tissue injury to a police officer and one misdemeanor count each of carrying a concealed weapon, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, endangering safety-use of a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct.” Those charges don’t show up on the circuit court website though.

So, if this is the same guy, it makes sense that the police had some interest in getting this guy off the street.

On a cell phone video caught part of the incident. Here’s what we see:

• Three officers are talking to Blake. They are next to Blake’s car.
• Blake, distraught, walked away from the police and headed around the car. The police were ordering him to stop and get to the ground, guns drawn.
• Blake opened the driver side door. Police told him to stop. He appeared to be reaching for something.
• Police started firing.
• Blake was shot about 7 times in the back. He went through surgery and is now in serious but stable condition.

 

That’s it. Nothing more. Here’s what we don’t know:

• Was Blake armed?
• What was he reaching for in his car?
• Is this the same Jacob Blake that heavy.com believes?
• What started this whole thing?
• Did the cops have body cameras?
• Why were the cops there and what happened?

 

Here’s the thing: this should be a non-story. We have base information, shouldn’t be surprised that he got shot since he is a felon and he ignored orders of the police. That was on the video. Hell, the people in the neighborhood were yelling at him to stop and get down. As far as I’m concerned, looking at his history, this was a justified shooting.

But that’s not what the Leftists are saying. This is obviously another example of systemic racism and police brutality. The videos made their way through social media and everyone made their judgments without having any information. Not sure having information would have made any difference anyway. So Black Lives Matter and Antifa decided to hold riots in Kenosha. They burned building and car lots. I would have been transfixed by the carnage but it has been happening in Portland for two and a half months.

So what should a good politician do? How about say You don’t know what happened and you should wait until the investigation is done? Of course not.

Democratic governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers said:

“Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries. While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.”

“And we stand against excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites. I have said all along that although we must offer our empathy, equally important is our action. In the coming days, we will demand just that of elected officials in our state who have failed to recognize the racism in our state and our country for far too long.”

Wow, that’s not going to inflame anything. By the way, he doesn’t know anymore than anyone else. He just admitted it.

Lori Lightfoot, mayor of Chicago said:

“Yesterday in Wisconsin, a police officer shot Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, a father, 7 times in the backI am deeply disturbed by the video capturing part of the incident. I urge civil & criminal authorities to pursue an immediate & thorough investigation of the shooting.”

Oh, goodie! Mayor Lightfoot urges an investigation. And she’s going to monitor the situation. Maybe she should not worry about another city and worry why 66 people were shot in her city this past weekend.

But it wasn’t just local politicians that commented. Nancy Pelosi Tweeted:

Finally, Joe Biden had a comment:

Yesterday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back as police attempted to restrain him from getting into his car. His children watched from inside the car and bystanders watched in disbelief. And this morning, the nation wakes up yet again with grief and outrage that yet another Black American is a victim of excessive force. This calls for an immediate, full and transparent investigation and the officers must be held accountable.

These shots pierce the soul of our nation. Jill and I pray for Jacob’s recovery and for his children.

Equal justice has not been real for Black Americans and so many others. We are at an inflection point. We must dismantle systemic racism. It is the urgent task before us. We must fight to honor the ideals laid in the original American promise, which we are yet to attain: That all men and women are created equal, but more importantly that they must be treated equally.

Here are some observations:

• I saw the video. The shooting was justified based on that video. But we don’t have enough information. Maybe the cops are racist bastards. Maybe Blake had a gun and the shooting was justified.
• But here’s the thing: Don’t ignore cops. They are assuming you want to kill them. There is a 1000% chance if you listen to a cop, you will be alive and probably not in jail fro very long.
• Democrats only care about the narrative. And what they are saying is dangerous. A police officer was knocked unconscious by a brick. But no one cares about that.
• Social media is a fucking disaster.

Ding-Jong, the Bitch is Dead

According to the Mirror, Chang Song-min, who served as an aide to former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, told South Korean media of the 36-year-old Kim Jong Un, “I assess him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended.”

Song-min maintained that Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, is assuming the mantle of leadership in her brother’s absence. “A complete succession structure has not been formed, so Kim Yo Jong is being brought to the fore as the vacuum cannot be maintained for a prolonged period,” he said, adding that Kim’s death “could spell disaster for the country.”

Senator Lindsey Graham said:

“Well, it’s a closed society, I don’t know anything directly. But I’d be shocked if he’s not dead or in some incapacitated state because you don’t let rumors like this go forever or go unanswered in a closed society, which is really a cult, not a country, called North Korea.

“So I pretty well believe he is dead or incapacitated. And I hope the long-suffering North Korean people will get some relief if he is dead, and President Trump’s willing to do business with North Korea in a win-win fashion. So, if this guy is dead, I hope the next person who takes over will work with President Trump to make North Korea a better place for everybody.”
