Resisting arrest, going to his vehicle with the stated purpose of getting a gun...as not an LEO I would have shot him too. Having the whole neighborhood pour out like a screeching bunch of *****to support the felon is not going to improve the situation. I think because they were LEOs there were not another dozen + on the ground as the child molester tried to get away with a van full of children.

We will know in time if it passes that sniff test also.
All claims that law enforcement officials have used excessive force - deadly or not - in the course of an arrest, investigatory stop, or other "seizure" of a free citizen are properly analyzed under the Fourth Amendment's "objective reasonableness" standard, rather than under a substantive due process standard
I think it is pretty clear that this young man was simply hurrying to make sure his kids got to Vacation Bible School on time.
I’m really wondering when it will get to the point that officers will see a person of color and just disregard the call and leave. It would be running through my mind every time weather it was worth ruining my own life and family for this.
I appreciate your perspective.
Is there a good source I can look at to get further information about points 1 through 3?
Odd. Your attitude in your last handful of posts seems to lean heavily toward "bad cop, no donut" when you just admitted there arent enough facts to say either way.
But I do know this aint the old west, and Wyatt Earps of today dont have to wait for the bad guy to draw or shoot first.
EDIT: and we DO know they attempted less lethal first but that failed. (surprise!) So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Its not like it was "hands up dont shoot."
Wyatt actually clubbed more people with his gun than he ever shot, one of the things Tombstone got right.
Today though I don't think officers can club people over the head any more, but someone more knowledgeable on procedure feel free to educate me.
A Glock probably won't have the same effect as a vintage revolver though.

Amazing how so many would wait for him to fetch a weapon and then decide to put a bullet in him.
All he had to do was NOT go into the vehicle.
But when they have the race card in their back pocket they tend to push things to the extreme.
Somebody that evil (to fetch a weapon) or stupid (to appear to fetch a weapon)..............disregarding commands, from people with guns around............deserves to be shot.
With today's SJW nonsense, he could have stopped at the bumper and had 10 lawyers calling him to take his case...........if the officers didn't do everything perfect.
IMHO he was either high as hell, stupid, or intent on doing harm.
Good shoot.
Next?

I have heard repeatedly that police are literally hunting black people. Literally. It's open season.
I would assume Mr Blake would have heard this too.
But did he, at ANY point in that video, seem even remotely fearful of the officers?
Even when they drew their weapons and pointed them at him?
I really have no point to this. Just strikes me as odd.

1. What "gas station"?
2. The warrant makes no mention of this.
3. The video screenshot I posted shows no knife in his "non-gun" hand. It's on the door handle. How do you know which is his non-gun hand?
4. The officers were 3 on 1 and couldn't execute a takedown and restraint of this one guy when he was on the ground on the other side of the SUV?

That's a human requirement? You have to look fearful like a little girl? Hows that work out for you?
Sorry, but some people just don't give a damn.
And a lot of those type subscribe to a certain sub culture.
Lawless.
They will push things to the max, just because.
They are not of western mind. Just the way it is.
Refusing to assimilate means some will be shot.
So be it.

We're not talking about kneeling down before the man here.
Rationally dealing with a cop as in 2ATom's approach. = good.
Flying off the handle and running from cops because **** them pigs. = bad.
Would you act "fearful" with a couple of taser and handguns pointed at your noggin? Probably.
(NOTE: the sturgeon general has stated that not acting fearful in this instance and making additional aggressive movements might be hazardous to your health.)
I've been pretty scared a couple times. I don't think I have ever been fearful like a little girl. But I've never been a little girl, so I can't say for sure.
But two pi$$ed off cops yelling with their guns pointed at me would, at the very least, cause me great concern.
The thought would never entered my mind to casually walk away from them, or anyone else with a gun pointed at me, as if they weren't even there.
You are assuming a hypothetical of a hypothetical. And then you threw drugs in on top of it for good measure.
Nice profiling, amigo.
