I would hope that a parent in that situation would comply with the police immediately instead of escalating things into a deadly situation.

I think those in support of Mr Blake are hoping for something more supportive of his need to do what he did. I also believe that some of his supporters don't need anything else.

I don't see people on this forum changing their minds on this unfortunate event on either side. You either believe a person should always cooperate with the police or you believe that they're situations in which a person can justify the opposite. There's not much chance in changing someone's mind on such a subject matter.

I'm not an expert and offer no studies or facts to support my opinions.
What situation could possibly justify NOT listening to the police and NOT following their commands? That is crazy talk to think there could be a possible reason to not listen to the police. LEOs have weapons will use them if they are threatened.
