This is too common now. Time to make an example of these rogue cops. first degree murder. No excuses!
It will be interesting to see the full facts of this case. It looks very bad but it could potentially have been worse, miraculously Mr Blake is will alive albeit severely injured. The children and other family members are likely to be highly traumatised.
According to the witness account given to CNN, the police were involved in a physical altercation with Blake and used a taser on him, but he still got to the car which is when they shot him. I can’t see armed cops ever going too hands on with a suspect because there is always the danger the suspect will over power the cop and be able to seize the weapon.
How can this be first degree murder when the guy isn’t dead? Nobody should be made an example of to suit a political agenda whatever they are accused of, there needs to be a full and impartial investigation, no stone should be left unturned and the rule of law should prevail. If people have broken the law, they should be treated accordingly
