By now, everyone has a much clearer picture of what happened during the altercation between Jacob Blake and the police.
In fact, a new report surfaced today revealing that Jacob Blake already had the knife in his hand when he went to the SUV in the video.
Police reported they recovered the knife in the SUV, and it was assumed in earlier reports that the vehicle was Blake’s and he was going for the knife.
Police investigators, however, stated that Blake had the knife in his possession already, after having already fought with police officers and having been tased several times.
In that situation, there are few police officers that would not have pulled the trigger, with the alternative being getting stabbed by Blake.
Even so, Harris says Blake was not given the proper due process and the officer who shot him should be arrested and charged.
Harris, according to the New York Post, stated, ‘”he use [sic] of force that was seven bullets coming out of a gun at close range in the back of the man?
“I don’t see how anybody could reason that that was justifiable.
“I think there should be a thorough investigation and based on what I’ve seen, it seems the officer should be charged.”
Now, I know a lot of police officers as well as agents in other law enforcement agencies, and every one of them has told me when they pull their guns, they shoot until the suspect is down and no longer a threat, however many bullets that takes.
Considering the officer who fired on Blake was directly behind him, I don’t think anyone with an ounce of sanity can question that he unloaded seven shots.
Rather than supporting our police for doing their job in a very difficult and dangerous situation, as usual, Harris and her fellow Democrats are dumping on police and just giving thugs on the street more of an excuse to go after them.
