CNN Sucks

This morning they have a reporter live in Kenosha standing in front of a demolished building. Why not in front of the Morgue were the victims are? Also they are already starting to be putting out crap about Jacob Blake. Oh he had a knife in the car. Also said that the police could not do anything about the armed vigilantes because it is a open carry state, didn't the curfew apply to them?

justice

As for the cops argument about open carry, the asshole shot three people, and that was reason enough to arrest him

As for the comment there was a knife, nothing justifies 7 bullets, with an obvious intent to kill Blake

Every picture showed him not making an aggressive action toward the police

Funny how none of them had body cameras

I don’t have any confidence justice will be found in Wisconsin

5. An "open carry state"

but if you happen to have a knife in your car, you can get shot seven times in the back? Apparently Blake should have been openly carrying an AK-47, then he would have been safe.

... because of my location. Just curious. Did MSNBC, ABC, CBS, or NBC report these things any differently than CNN? The morgue, the knife in the car, or the burned-out buildings? What did they report that was different from CNN? Thanks

The shooting has been reported on previously. The current story is in the streets.

As for the the shooter, yes the curfew did apply; so did laws on murder, which is why he's been arrested.
