I assume most of you have heard about white police officers shooting an ‘unarmed’ black man in the back in Kenosha. And perhaps some of you like me watched the actual video. My first response was WTF are these cops thinking. This is not the KKK Dems south. You can’t do that, especially post George Floyd. The video is pretty damning. And I was prepared to rant about the need to have them drawn and quartered, but followed my rule not to jump to conclusions.
When I was driving around today and mulled over what I had seen, it occurred to me that my first impression could be totally wrong. The cops were called to a domestic violence incident and they can be seen walking behind the black man out to their car. There was no attempt to shoot him. It was only when they got to their car that the shooting occurred. As I was mulling this over in my mind I remembered that the suspect was attempting to get into the driver’s door on the police car and was diving in when the shots erupted. I went back when I got home to watch again and my memory was correct. Thus the question is what weapons were available in the cop car he might have been trying to get?
We should wait to see what eventually comes to light from the testimony and body cams of the officers. Of course the left didn’t bother to wait or consider other possibilities, no they just once again decided to burn and pillage. This could turn out to be another Michael Brown hands up don’t shoot false narrative. Let’s wait to see what develops.
Correction, I think he was going into the drivers seat of his own car not the police car.
