I don't know if it was appropriate to shoot Jacob Blake, but it's not obvious to me what the options are if a suspect has resisted arrest, won't succumb to tasers, has a weapon in hand & appears to be kidnapping his children from the home of an ex with a restraining order https://twitter.com/ZaidJilani/status/1309690015816069122 …

Yeah, people who aren't around firearms and watch a lot of action shows and might think that one "shot" stops someone right away. Not true at all. Adrenaline can keep someone going for a short time, and in those seconds Jacob could have easily attacked someone else. 1/2

2/2 The guy did have an arrest warrant, so the cops had to stop him and protect the people in the area.
