I support Black lives matter but this is getting ridiculous when Jacob didn't comply with officers. He turned his back on them and walked away and around the car then open the door. Shouldn't have gotten shot but Jacob was at fault too

Jacob was at fault too for not complying with officers, let's be unbiased and see it for what it is but Jacob did walk away, open his door and was not listening

Cops shouldn't have shot Jacob. But he didn't comply with officers, he should have at least gotten tazed not shot

@jamishatilson9565 never once said he said that, of course he didn't deserve to get shot. Maybe tazed but not shot.... either way it still doesn't take away that he didn't comply with officers which can't be ignored either. That would just make us wrong for dismissing the fact that he turned around and walked away from the cops by walking around the car and opening the door to get in. That doesn't help his case either but as unbiased people, we shouldn't excuse Jacob Blake refusing to comply just because he got shot which is wrong. Cops shouldn't have shot him but Jacob also should have complied

@lacelavontv I never once said that a non-black person didn't have to comply to cops. You're putting words in my mouth which was never said. Everyone should comply when a cop is giving orders not just black people. But if you're black, and you know the history police have with black people, why would you push it and walk away knowing the cops are pointing a gun at you, how did he think it was gonna turn out by doing that... George floyd on the other hand wasn't at fault because he complied and still got shot. In Floyd's situation the cops were 100% at fault and not Floyd because he complied... But that is also not an excuse to say "Well we get shot when we comply, we get shot when we don't, might as well NOT comply if I'm gonna get shot anyways" that is not an excuse to take that approach because if anything happens then you will be at fault and justice will not be served because you didn't comply... at least if you follow the orders then it would be 100% be the fault of the officer instead of both... justice will not be made like that if you're at fault too.

big hippo the media has nothing to do with it... reporters weren't on scene when it happened, the only thing available is what the witnesses recorded from their phones and the media is just showing what is available. To imply that the media is purposely not showing videos that do not EXSIST is wrong. You can't show videos that isn't there.

@jordanreeder2564 that video is misleading, that isn't Jacob Blake, that video is 2 years ago.

dantrel81 that's a bit extreme. I do support black lives matter but I'm also not going to excuse Jacob Blake for not complying just because he is black. Yes the cops should not have shot them, that was extreme and bad on the cops part, he should have at least tazed Jacob since he wasn't complying not shoot him but it is wrong for you to be baised and ignore that Jacob Blake was at fault too because rather you don't want to admit it he was at fault too. You're doing more harm excusing Jacob for not complying than good, just because he's black. And just because someone is black is also not an excuse to not comply with officers. I am unbiased and see things for what they are, I fully support black lives over cops any day but not if they are at fault. I cannot support a person whose at fault just because they're black.

@ShujinkoProductions2 if you're not complying, it is the point because that has alot to do with the situation happening.

@ShujinkoProductions2 I agree 100% but I am unbiased and have to also say, had Jacob Blake just comply with officers instead of walking off his risk of getting shot would have been alot lower than when he walked away. If you're black and you know the history police have with black people, why would you push it and not comply, then completely walk away knowing they are pointing the gun at you. How did he think it was gonna turn out by him doing that .

@ShujinkoProductions2 i agree, the use of the officers excessive force was extreme and should have been handled better. My point in all of this though is I need to look at the situation in an unbiased perspective. Yes the cop was at fault but also Jacob Blake for retreating and not complying with the officers. I support black lives matter but I don't support people who are at fault. I cannot excuse Jacob Blake for not complying just because he's Black. I feel like that is what it has come to in today's society, rather the guy is at fault it doesn't matter because people expect you to support Jacob just because he's black and that is not okay also. That sends a bad message to everyone that you can never be at fault just because you're black. People are choosing to ignore that Jacob was in fact at fault too and that only enables the community to always have an outcry whenever someone black gets hurt regardless if they are at fault or not... People seem to believe that I am a bad person just because I am pointing out facts, people don't want me to be unbiased and see that both people were at fault. People want me to support Jacob Blake even tho he was at fault just because he's black... when it comes down to it that's what it comes to, support Jacob because he's black that's it. If it was really about justice then people would be unbiased and not ignore Jacob's faults as well

@lacelavontv I agree black lives do matter. Never said they don't. What I'm saying is we shouldnt excuse Jacob Blake either that he was at fault also because he didn't comply with the officer, that doesn't help his case. We shouldn't support Jacob just because he's black knowing that he was at fault also. Black lives do matter but when you're at fault that shouldn't get ignored just because he's black. That sends a bad message to everyone that regardless if you're at fault you should support Jacob just because he's black. That is not okay either... are you ignoring that Jacob Blake was at fault? Can you recognize that he did walk away which did make things more difficult?

@ShujinkoProductions2 yeah and I completely understand that black people are on the receiving end of many of these police brutality situations, which isn't right and I have verbally supported and continue to do so black lives matter... But I am also not blinded from reality of what's right and wrong. I cannot say i support a person for not complying just because he's black. People will not take black lives matter serious anymore if the movement even supports people who were clearly wrong.
