Here we go again !
« on: August 25, 2020, 03:25:55 AM »
Another American city on fire ..again !  Kenosha, Wisconsin this time.  At first report it appears the police unjustly shot a fellow who was seeking to flee.

     However, I fail to see where rioting and burning solve anything.  It would seem to make more sense to wait for the investigation to be completed, before going on a rampage.
 
  As with any video presentation, it could be entirely factual, or entirely fictional.  Here is how the top cop in the police union put it.

  "“As always, the video currently circulating does not capture all the intricacies of a highly dynamic incident,” Pete Deates, president of the Kenosha police union, said in a statement."

He wasn't being loaded into the car, instead of putting his hands on the roof he opened his car door and reached for something in the door or under the seat. I heard he had a knife in his hand he wouldn't drop and was tazed but it didn't phase him or it malfunctioned. I don't know if this is accurate or not , but if it proves to be, I'm going with justified shooting. The officer is guilty of needing more range practice. I don't care what color a person is, if a cop tells you to stop, then stop. Cops want to go home to their families just like everyone else.

The situation does look bad for police, but we cannot pass judgement without further investigation.
  Loading him in the car ?  I doubt they would be loading him into his own car. It does look like he was getting ready to flee..but he better have had a weapon in his hand, or it comes back onto the police.

  Of course, I think we have all seen edited videos that made a false tale look true.  ..And of course, whatever is discovered, there will still be some on either side that will not accept the findings.

They arrested a 17 year old for killing 2 protesters and wounding a third. They're not sure why he was there (possibly guarding a gas station) and it seems he shoot a protester/looter and a crowd chased him down the street at which time he turned and opened fire on the crowd. Armed people on both sides this is gonna' get real messy. I heard at work today Trump was sending troops to WI. It can't hurt. The 150 national guard the governor sent is not anywhere enough.
