So you've said many, many times over the last few pages. None the less, a black man was shot 7 times in the back, and whether you understand it or not, that's an immediate gut punch to much of the country, and especially to folks in the African American community.
omahen, do you have any African American friends? If not, you might ask Dahlsim to share with you some about the experience of black Americans.
It seems like you want everyone to withhold reaction until an investigation is completed. I don't think that's reasonable. People can have immediate reactions and they can have different thoughts and reactions as more info comes out. Last night you seemed to be sugggesting that the players' reaction was tantamount to asking for an immediate sentencing of the officer. That's a straw man of the highest order, my friend.
If as the investigation continues we find out that Jacob Blake deserved to be shot 7 times in the back, and that there was no other way to police that situation, then maybe folks will think differently then they did when the shooting first happened.
