Police record of criminal apprehended by police in Wisconsin....

Thank you very much. I was trying to find this without success. Let’s copy and bookmark and preserve this.

The George Floyd details were made to disappear by the Google and other moguls in executive offices. Now the parts promoting sanctification are almost all that’s left after the second or third day. Pictures of him looking upward toward heaven. A gentle countenance of the sinless black man. The golden calf (I mean golden casket) and the Dems bending their knees to their pagan idol (Pelosi, Nadler and Black Caucus....).

I’d suggest that domestic conflicts in the ‘hood should be allowed to settle themselves out.

There’s apparently no positive societal benefit to sending the PoPo in.

Has it been reported whether a weapon was found in the car?

He also had an outstanding warrant from July 7, 2020 for felony sexual assault which might explain why he didn’t want to stick around.

Just want to caution. The name is the same, and the age would match, but we do not have confirmation that the 2015 arrest is the same person. “Heavy”, when they searched for police records for Jacob, did not find that 2015 incident.

They did find an arrest warrant for him, for several crimes including violent crimes.

...a criminal with a history of gun violence using guns in the commission of crimes.

The reports so far has suggested that the man did not give them a name, or talk to them. Maybe they ran the plates on his car, and knew who it was. Or maybe they didn’t even know if it WAS his car.

Hence one possibility, a man with a knife in his hand looks like he is getting into a car, the officer tries to stop him, and when he looks in, he sees a kid in the front seat, and the man with the knife reaching for the kid, and so he shoots the man. He doesn’t know the kid is the man’s son — and frankly, men are known to use their kids as hostages, so I’m not sure it would matter.

Just speculation. Eventually, after the riots have gone a few days, we might learn something.

A GOP spokesman a few years ago cited statistics showing the results of mandatory sentencing laws. Fewer crimes "Because many criminals were in prison and unable to go on committing more crimes on the outside." So true.

Most cities' police say the first apprehension, conviction and jailing of a person is almost never a "first offense." Some are estimated to have committed dozens of previous crimes before that one. Busy, aren't they?

Could it be because a dead man can be sure with a 100% certainty that he will have lost his job and family?

While it all looks innocent enough (now that it's known he didn't have a gun - or at least that's what has been reported), the cops do not know what will happen if he is allowed to get into his car where he may have a weapon at his disposal to use. Problem is they don't know and they have a split second to make a decision.

The content is he was told to stop ant go to his car. They had no idea why he was going to his car, was it to retrieve a weapon, we’ll never know.

If his back is to them, why not taser?

I wonder if we even know how many times he was hit. We know the gun fired 7 times. But the guy shooting was also holding his shirt and pulling, and being pulled.

Not to mention the car becoming a lethal weapon if allowed to leave.

He’d be alive today had the people’s safety department sent a social worker with a clipboard.

I think that has to do with someone else’s post.

Mine was about criminals on the outside who would not be committing more crimes if they were in prison with longer mandatory sentences.

I am sure the officer had a second magazine so he would not need to save ammo for another incident.
