I saw the video, and all I can really say is that if you have police pointing guns at you and telling you to stop, you don't walk away and try to enter your vehicle. They will shoot you, regardless of race, because they know that people commonly keep guns in their vehicles. I hate that this happened and I hate that it happened in front of his children. He made a poor decision.

This is bullshit. Jacob Blake displayed zero aggression, and just stepped into the car. Also, if this was true, the cops would be saying this, and not just "we're investigating." There is no way the cop can justify fearing for his life because the guy was getting in his car. I highly doubt the cops are allowed to shoot just because he thinks the guy might have a gun.

And the victim's actions should not be the focus here. The cop's action was a much greater "poor decision" here.
