That's not what I said.
An event can have multiple causes.

You see it doesn't matter what tactic the police use. At some point something is bound to go wrong, and there will be someone with a cell phone to catch it. That's the funny thing about criminals and drug addicts, they don't want to go to jail. If they would just comply, or better yet OBEY THE LAW, this kind of thing would not be an issue.

I honestly hope it never comes to that. As infuriating as these little antifa pinheads can be, it's not worthy of losing a life. It's not a place this country wants or needs to go.

Right before Blake gets to the drivers side door, the closest officer does look like he's trying to grab Blake.
But that officer already had his gun drawn before he closed. Tactically that's stupid. A wrestling match where one party already has a gun out pretty much has to end in shots.
Was any attempt made to tackle him before he starts to walk around his car?

Thanks for letting me know. I see it now.
It's either two or three cops, struggling on the ground with the one suspect.
That suspect should have never gotten up without handcuffs on.
then after he gets up, he just casually walks by an officer who has his gun drawn, that officer doesn't do anything.
If the cops had done their job right, he would still be alive.

He'll go watch the time stamp, then come back with some song and dance about how they didn't actually tackle him or he wouldn't be able to get up and walk to his car. Or he'll get into a semantics argument about the definition of tackle.
Go easy man. Not everyone does this stuff for a living. There are other things I have to do with my day in order to earn money

1) knees between the shoulder blades and below should be enough to get cuffs on.
2) it does not take 9 minutes to apply cuffs.
Your post is text book argument ad absurdum. I didn't say tackling or hand to hand would solve everything for the cops. I did say it would ha e solved this situation. If you take any argument to absurd lengths, the argument becomes ridiculous. Doesn't mean the original argument was ridiculous.

I'm not sure how many physical altercations you have been in, but when a person doesn't what to do something it is not easy to force them. Once the officers get forced into a position of having to physically restrain a person, things are much more likely to go bad. It is easy to sit back and arm chair QB but the person who had the most control to prevent the situation from going bad chose to fight the cops and go the his car to grab something.

Let's not pretend you know what should or shouldn't happen here--tactically speaking. If he had a knife, as was suggested by them yelling as much, then you don't holster your weapon.

I admit that him having a knife changes things. If he had one, maybe that's why he was able to get up when there were two officers on him. That explains why there are two officers standing with guns drawn. Still, you don't close in on someone with your pistol out, especially when backup has arrived. Knife or not.

Just like you admitted to performing sexual favors for extra cigarettes while you were in the Marines. Thank you for your service.
