I am deeply saddened by the shooting of Blake, but we should try to remember that each case has its own individual circumstances. This man was wanted for sexual assault and domestic abuse, as well as he had a record of brandishing a firearm in bars while intoxicated.

Have you seen the video? He's literally walking around the car, there's multiple cops around and all they do is point their guns waiting to see what he's gonna do. This is honestly shocking incompetence and bad policing.

They are trying to arrest him for an outstanding warrant and he’s not complying after a physical altercation and being tased. He’s known to wave a gun around at unarmed civilians and resisted arrest in the past.

i am not a lawyer but i don't see how that justifies the use of deadly force here. he didn't have a gun at hand, they had the drop on him, and he was shot 7 times.
