    So just a variation of them yelling "Stop resisting" without the perp ACTUALLY resisting giving them cover do things they otherwise couldnt. Got it.:rolleyes:
    Not an equal comparison. Yelling "drop the knife" is NOT a common phrase, "Stop resisting" is. So, the officers would have to consciously CHOOSE to use that phrase when "stop resisting" would be quite sufficient. That choice would suggest intent that they wanted onlookers too believe that they believed he was armed. They would only want people to believe that if they thought they were going to shoot him. That suggest pre-meditation. A hefty charge

    Word from my LE friends who reached out to their contacts out there.
    On a side note, here is a quote from a witness "The bystander who filmed the encounter told NBC News that police were yelling at Blake to “drop the knife,”

    I am 100% pro-cop. I have no opinion on this particular incident other than all parties are innocent until proven guilty. I'm mainly just commenting so I can follow the conversation/discussion among my fellow Indiana gun owners.

    WTHR is reporting that the WI governor has declared a state of emergency because of rioting. Not seeing anything on their website yet.


    To be dealt with swiftly!!


    Rioting will be allowed to continue unhindered and even encouraged.

    People not involved in the riot must wear masks in their homes and not go to church.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Tombs again.

    That was excellent. And I "shot" him when he pulled out his phone.
