just because you say it, doesn't mean it's true

[harmonica]

....just because you say it, doesn't mean it's true:
police brutality
racism
etc

...just because people protest supposed police brutality and racism, doesn't mean they are real problems

..these are myths like ''hands up''
akin to the myths that hitler and the nazis promoted

Kenosha police have a history of brutality with multi-racial victims:

Jacob Blake Shooting Shines New Light on Death of Michael Bell, Killed by Kenosha Cops in 2004

"In light of the police shooting of unarmed African American father Jacob Blake, we look at the past misconduct of the Kenosha police department.

"In 2004, Kenosha police killed white 21-year-old Michael Bell in front of his mother and sister.

"The Kenosha Police Department conducted its own review of the incident, and within two days completely exonerated the officers.

"Bell’s father, Michael Bell Sr., commissioned an independent inquiry that found the police account of the incident to be forensically impossible. 'It was really hard for me to believe that a uniformed person would do that,' says Michael Bell Sr., who claims the Kenosha police department 'covered up the true facts of the case.'"

"The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) reported late on Wednesday that Jacob Blake, the man who was shot by a police officer in Kenosha on Sunday, had a weapon the floorboard of his car..."

"'Mr. Blake walked around his vehicle, opened the driver’s side door, and leaned forward. While holding onto Mr. Blake’s shirt, Officer Rusten Sheskey fired his service weapon 7 times,' the department continued. The department said that officers immediately rendered aid to Blake.

"'During the investigation following the initial incident, Mr. Blake admitted that he had a knife in his possession,' the department added. 'DCI agents recovered a knife from the driver’s side floorboard of Mr. Blake’s vehicle. A search of the vehicle located no additional weapons.'"

So far, I haven't seen anyone alleging the knife was ever in Blake's hand during the confrontation

The point of the article was that Blake was going into his car where there was a gun. It is for this very reason that cops don't let suspects back into their car and proof that there was a very real threat to their lives.

There was no gun found in Blake's car.

Doesn't matter if he had a knife/gun or not. Merely the fact that Blake reached into his vehicle and allowed his hands to disappear from the cops' view is cause enough for cop to shoot. The is SOP taught in every police academy in America,

When the suspect's hands disappear, he can point an shoot a gun in 1/2 second or less. The cop has no time to react. Only recourse for the cop, in self defense, is to shoot the suspect when the hands disappear. This has been standard for 60 years in America.

Here's a police training video. I suggest you watch it >>
