Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers declared a State of Emergency, according to a statement from his office Tuesday. “Following protests on Monday night, Gov. Evers today announced he is authorizing increased Wisconsin National Guard support for Kenosha County to 250 members and will continue to adjust to meet local needs,” the statement read.
Evers said in an earlier statement today that the move to increase National Guard presence was to “ensure individuals can exercise their right safely, protect state buildings and critical infrastructure, and support first responders and fire fighters.""The ability to exercise First Amendment rights is a critically important part of our democracy and the pursuit of justice.
“We cannot forget the reason why these protests began, and what we have seen play out over the last two nights and many nights this year is the pain, anguish, and exhaustion of being Black in our state and country,” he went on to say, adding, “But as I said yesterday, and as I’ll reiterate today, everyone should be able to exercise their fundamental right—whether a protester or member of the press—peacefully and safely. We cannot allow the cycle of systemic racism and injustice to continue.
No, because you can’t explain this kind of behavior! Lock those officers up! It’s by no means enough that they lose their jobs. blm
He is Black that’s why!
Look Blake had a history but point blank 7/8 shots in the back that’s what I find wrong here. How the outcome ended is what’s wrong the cop had no honor in what he did to end the conflict.
They fucced up and know they’re trying to orchestrate how to justify the shooting; otherwise the reason would of been known that day.
1. HE HAD A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST FOR DOMESTIC AND CHILD ABUSE 2. HE FOUGHT OFF BOTH OFFICERS WHO ATTEMPTED TO DETAIN HIM. 3. HE WALKED TO A VEHICLE AND OPENED THE DOOR WHILE GUNS WERE DRAWN ON HIM AND HE WAS ASKED TO STOP. ----- need any other reasons?
Reason. DON'T RESIST ARREST!
Well the video is pretty self explanatory
Reason: Because he was black. Duh
And they aren’t going to. Let’s see how long the investigation and officers on desk duty be. Plus, well the officers leave this department and go to and city and county to get hired again to possibly happen again.
Interesting news bite , but we’ve all seen the video. Are Americans that gullible or do those in power just think so
b/c you are an attorney, why you need a reason?do you damn lawyer job and drop the stunt. Check the ROE, anyone resists arrest while reaching into the car, what do policemen do, yell or run?
They are given way too much time to coordinate their stories. When anyone else commits a horrific crime they are separated from their fellow criminals while information is being gathered.
I wonder why the activist media isn’t covering this the same way they covered Nick Sandmann smiling at a Native American drumming in his face? 🤔
He hurt their feelings. snowflakes
Everyone saw what happened? They don't need explanation. Though they might have gone too far but Blake's actions called for it. You guys should stop celebrating criminals.
Unarmed nurse dealing with an aggressive patient: I don't care if he's a criminal, we're still going to safely restrain him and treat him to the best of our abilities. Armed cop: Let shot him in the back 7 times.
Police followed SOP . If I were police , I would do the same .
As Atty. Crump said yesterday, a video of a black man is almost always sufficient evidence, while a video of police shooting an unarmed black man needs further context and examination.
Get the Democrats out of Wisconsin. They're incompetent.
Meanwhile, white men who shoot random people get totally ignore when police arrive even WHILE carrying guns! Wt...? Warning, Violence
