There are a handful of posters I hope will try to reign me in when I go too far, that includes both you and @JazzSpazz. I don't thank either of you enough for that. Thank you both.

So, as Larry Wilmore put it with regard to another shooting, he was "the n**** hulk"?
I've already said everything I want to say, and you've offered very little worth commenting upon.

I know you have, that's why I said a one game haitus isn't going to keep the conversation going and you're not the only one.... You prove my point.
Interesting. Which point is that?

Statement by police... It's also alleged that the car was not his and he stole the keys thus having the cops called in the first place.
Mr. Blake was not unarmed. He was armed with a knife. The officers did not see the knife initially. The officers first saw him holding the knife while they were on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The “main” video circulating on the internet shows Mr. Blake with the knife in his left hand when he rounds the front of the car. The officers issued repeated commands for Mr. Blake to drop the knife. He did not comply.
The officers initially tried to speak with Mr. Blake, but he was uncooperative.
The officers then began issuing verbal commands to Mr. Blake, but he was non-complaint.
The officers next went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake, so as to gain compliance and control.
Mr. Blake actively resisted the officers’ attempt to gain compliance.
The officers then disengaged and drew their tasers, issuing commands to Mr. Blake that he would be tased if he did not comply.
Based on his non-compliance, one officer tased Mr. Blake. The taser did not incapacitate Mr. Blake.
The officers once more went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake; again, trying to gain control of the escalating situation.
Mr. Blake forcefully fought with the officers, including putting one of the officers in a headlock.
A second taser (from a different officer than had deployed the initial taser) was then deployed on Mr. Blake. It did not appear to have any impact on him.
Based on the inability to gain
compliance and control after using verbal, physical and less-lethal means, the officers drew their firearms.
Mr. Blake continued to ignore the officers’ commands, even with the threat of lethal force now present.

Any fascist would regard that as unimpeachable evidence.
Your rendition of this statement has officers engaging in a wrestling match after they see a knife. I find that difficult to believe.
Your statement also has Blake making zero threats against the officers. I find that odd.

Agreed. None of that passes the eye test. Even if that one video was cut specifically to show the "bad"parts, there were still dozens of options available besides shooting him in the back multiple times at point blank range.
