Another jump to conclusions without all the facts...

Jacob Blake, the case that recently set off the the most recent firestorm, was a classic case of someone disobeying police. He was tazed, yet still continued to flee and reached into the car, leaving police no choice but to fire on him. They don't know what he was reaching for. 

We had a case here in Cincinnati on the 11th where a man was observed breaking the law. When approached, he tried to flee and was tazed, but continued to fight with officers and since they didn't know if he was armed and he continued to fight, they were left with no choice but to shoot him. 

In Chicago, the criminal was fleeing and tried to run over a police officer with his car. The police gave chase and the criminal continued to flee. They didn't know if the guy had a gun, but since he nearly ran over an officer, he obviously was dangerous. No one knows what happened, because the body cam footage only shows when the one cop shot at the criminal in the car, when he attempted to hit the other officer. When the chase was on foot, we loose visual as the events took place behind a wooden fence, but several shots can be heard. The cops said they were being shot at. 

Those were the cases. All justifiable. What are you referring to?

Jacob Blake was unarmed at the shooting and could have been stopped non lethally by competent policing. So could Rasyshard Brooks which was around June I believe. Had already been searched for a weapon and police fired on him.

We must not tell lies, Dolores!
