If these idiots would just comply with the cops, they would not get shot
Well there's a reason they don't comply... But I agree with you.

Are we talking about the same Jacob Blake who was charged with 3rd degree sexual assault, domestic abuse, who resisted arrest, and was going for a knife in his car when the cops shot him? That Jacob Blake?
quote:
(CNN)Hours after Jacob Blake was shot Sunday, he looked at his mother in a Milwaukee hospital room, cried and told her he was sorry.
"I don't want to be a burden on anybody. I want my babies. Call my boss," Julia Jackson recalls her son telling her. She comforted him and had to redirect the conversation, Jackson told CNN's Don Lemon Tuesday night.
That's just the kind of man Blake's family says he is. He's a father, a son, an uncle and a brother who's focused on his loved ones, his sister says.
quote:
"His kids are his world. But not only that, his family is his world," Zietha Blake says. "He's upset because we're hurt, we're upset. He doesn't even care about himself. He's more so worried about us."
Jackson is a mother who believes in the power of prayer and forgiveness. Despite the agony that comes with knowing her son was shot in the back by a police officer, she prayed with another police officer in the hospital.
After demonstrators torched cars and set buildings ablaze on Monday night, Blake's mother called for peaceful protests and said her son would not be pleased with "the violence and the destruction."
Jackson says the damage in the city from the unrest "doesn't reflect my son or my family."
She asked for prayers not only for her son but for healing across the country.
Blake's family is rooted in a legacy of activism and devotion.
Before he became the latest in a long list of police shooting victims, the 29-year-old was a kid growing up in Evanston, Illinois, just outside Chicago.
He attended high school in Evanston, where he was a member of the wrestling team. He later moved to Kenosha "for a fresh start," his family told CNN affiliate WLS.
His grandfather, the Rev. Jacob Blake Sr., led the fight for fair housing in Evanston throughout the 1960s and '70s and led the Ebenezer AME Church congregation.
He organized marches following the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. that eventually led Evanston City Council members to ban racial discrimination in housing.
quote:
"We the members of Ebenezer AME, were quite distressed to hear the news about Jacob Blake," the church that his grandfather pastored said in a statement after news of Blake's shooting became public.
"It is also disturbing that this action was taken without regard for his children that witnessed this egregious and callous action."
In between tears during a news conference Tuesday, another of his sisters, Megan Belcher, called Jacob Blake her light.
quote:
"I'm not crying because I'm sad, I'm crying because I know how upset he is that his family's upset right now," she says. "Because his family is hurting. He loves his family. You all took him from his family, as you all stood by and let it happen."
Family attorneys say Jacob Blake is paralyzed and loved ones are hoping that he can walk again.
Zietha Blake, another sister, recounted how close the two were growing up, calling him her twin.
Almost every night, Zietha said she and Blake would call each other, just to joke around.
"We got a lot of insiders, a lot of things just between us, because we are like this," she said, holding up crossed fingers.
quote:
On Sunday evening, Blake was on a Kenosha street lined with apartment buildings. He was "breaking up a fight between two women," said Benjamin Crump, an attorney hired by the family.
Kenosha police arrived, responding to a domestic incident, police said.
Raysean White was across the street and said he heard two women arguing when Blake arrived.
He said he doesn't know what started the altercation.
White was filming the incident when Blake walked away, toward the driver's side of his car, and opened the door.
In video that's now been seen millions of times -- more than 9 million views from Crump's Twitter feed alone -- police are seen closely following Blake and shooting him seven times in the back as he leans into the car.
Blake did not have a weapon in his car, said Patrick Salvi Jr., another attorney representing the family.
In the vehicle were his three sons, ages 3, 5 and 8, Crump said. CNN has not independently confirmed this.
Blake is now in a Milwaukee hospital, where he has remained in intensive care. As of Tuesday afternoon, he was undergoing surgery, Crump said.
"It's going to take a miracle for Jacob Blake Jr. to ever walk again," he said.

In unreality world, we now have Saint Blake.
It is now rumored that he helped with the Gleason blocked punt.

Whole lot of comments for people that no longer follow the NFL or Saints.

This organization can get fricked.
I hope the league folds from abysmal ratings this season.

I'm not going to deny this as I don't plan on watching anymore at this juncture, but I always click Saints Talk out of habit.
I'll just say this. If you are cool watching these sports teams that put forth an agenda that doesn't bother you, you do you. But I've always used sports as an escape, and when I have to see politics injected into them at every corner, I begin to lose my interest more and more. I was fine with the kneeling and even defended it, but what's going on right now is honestly just ridiculous.

When are they going to put 8 year old Secoriea Turner's name or 1 year old Davell Gardner's name on their helmets?

As he reached into his vehicle when told not to. Vehicles are the most common hiding place for guns. Most police are told to shoot if they reach into their vehicle. The end.
Exactly, you can find several videos where the perp doesnt comply goes into vehicle then shoots cop. Happens in a lot of traffic stops.

Wow, it's truly amazing that all these teams, players, leagues, just get caught up in this. Supporting a piece of shite like this is unreal.
