How to reduce police shootings: Comply with what they instruct you to do.

How to avoid prison: Don't commit crimes.

How to fight hunger: Get a job!

If the Officer feared for his life which I'm sure he did his back was to you. Several places to shoot to put and end to the situation period. One and done would have put an end to it period. I'm not faulting the Officer adrenalin rush I'm sure I would have picked a better spot at that close a range it was a big target!

I understand what you are saying but in Police Academy, in a situation like this, you are told just slowing them down may be deadly. Tazing too.

Apparently when adrenaline kicks in most officers cannot hit the side of a barn with their first couple of shots.

That is why elite members of our armed forces such as Navy Seals practice regularly and can shoot thousands of rounds a month.

Armchair intellectualizing what shoulda or coulda been done has zero investment in the reality of the participation...zero training (for most)...and zero on scene facts.

Like opinions, all entitled to their conclusions.

I doubt this was reported on MSM. 'This' being his violent criminal record.
Almost every one that has been shot, especially recently, have a rap sheet a mile long but nobody in the media wants to discuss it or even mention it.... Just praise the criminal and give him a funeral only fit for a queen or king

Main street media still praising this criminal for several minutes this morning and how terrible our police are. Our country is burning and the media is the gas can.

hmmm - does this ring a bell? ACTUAL accounts of WHY? come out days after the UPROAR. Seems that EVERY ONE of these LEO>>>minority shootings are like this. Not saying that this is true, but not surprising. And not saying that 7 shots are justifiable, but what led up to the confrontation may explain (with facts) why the LEO had to take action. So many initial (and still now) news accounts are that he was an angel on earth - but yet another thug with a long rap sheet.

Kenosha police union gives its account of Jacob Blake shooting
A 20-second video shot by a bystander doesn’t show what led up to the shooting and Wisconsin authorities have given few details
The Kenosha, Wis., police union issued a statement Friday on the police shooting of Jacob Blake, an incident last Sunday that sparked protests and rioting in the city this week that led to at least two deaths.

Authorities have said Blake, 29, was shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police Officer Rusten Sheskey while being taken into custody. On Friday he remained paralyzed in a Kenosha hospital.

Video of the incident shot by a bystander set off violent nightly protests -- including Tuesday night's unrest, in which a 17-year-old from Illinois allegedly fatally shot two people and wounded a third.

In Sunday's incident, Blake was "armed with a knife" and "forcefully fought" with officers, putting one of them in a headlock, Brendan Matthews, an attorney for the Kenosha Professional Police Association, said Friday, according to Kenosha News.

State investigators, however, said Blake had a knife "in his possession," and it was later recovered from the floorboard of his vehicle, FOX 6 of Milwaukee reported.
Matthews said officers first tried unsuccessfully to subdue Blake with stun guns.

Blake’s lawyer claimed his client was trying to break up a domestic dispute before his arrest and he was unarmed at the time.

The police union statement added that most accounts of the shooting were "wholly inaccurate" and "purely fictional,” Kenosha News reported.

More has been revealed about this Blake and why the LEOs dealt with him as they did. He is a violent felon.
