The 2 videos I saw show him fighting with the police at the back of the SUV and Mr Blake won that fight. Mr Blake is then scene in the video walking away from the police with their guns drawn. Mr Blake acting with total disregard for what could happen if he continued to walk away and then open the driver's side door and then while an officer pulls on his shirt, reach down inside the vehicle to do whatever.

My statement is just that, mine. I state that I wouldn't want to be a police officer because people like Mr Blake act with total disregard for his own safety and others. I don't need to see if the shoe fits because I have enough intelligence to know it's not for me.

Mr Blake's past, if known by the police would be helpful but not a reason on its own to shoot him.

I think it's helpful to see what it's like to be a police officer in a shootout to gain perspective. YouTube has lots of them and the shootings involve whites, blacks and Latinos.

Watch these guys get shot and keep on doing their job. Watch the thugs get shot and keep on fighting. Then ask yourself if you would just shoot one time to wound the person? Choose between your rubber bullets or your lead ones? Would you wait and see what he's going to pull out of pocket, waist band or under his seat?

These cops see these videos in training. I have personally arrested 6 people at gun point, lived in poverty around violent people and served in the military. I was shot at in Arizona while riding my bike. It's so easy to sit on your couch having never been in a life threatening situation and say you know better than everyone else on how to better handle these types of situations.

I will continue to wait and see if this was a good shooting and if the cop was acting on racist feelings then I'll support protesting for justice.
