Blake appears to have told officers that he had a knife in his possession, the DCI said. Investigators later "recovered a knife from the driver's side floorboard" of Blake's vehicle and no other weapons were found, the agency said.

is it illegal to own a knife
It's illegal to carry certain blade sizes and to conceal it in a vehicle. Also certain kinds of blades, such as certain kinds of daggers, dirks, and butterfly knives.

Knife laws are even flimsier than gun laws honestly.

It's illegal to go for a knife after wrestling with police and ignoring orders from them.

Almost as much of a joke as when you claimed that the guy in Atlanta was shot for sleeping in his car.

At least you learned something about reaching for a weapon while resisting arrest.

It should be illegal for three officers to suck so badly at their jobs that they can't pin down a single suspect without shooting him

true. but i think the cops wanted the easy way out. trying to end him instead of letting the suspect get away.
they didn't think that through on the consequences of actions.

He could have listened to their commands and not have tried reaching into his car after being tasered? Maybe they wouldn't have shot him but what do I know? I only operate with common sense.

If the doors open there's no need to reach for the handle.

If he wanted to lock the door he could have done so with his keys.

Yes, my first common sense instinct is to shoot him 7 fucking times. 7. You know, after the first 6, he's gonna be unaffected and continue to grab the knife, lean back out and lunge at the cop. Need to get that 7th in. That's how they train police.

The inside handle, with which to close the door after he enters, maybe even lock it?

And if you're talking about a key fob or whatever, that doesn't mean you can't manually close and lock the door. It's what most people grew up doing. Hell, it's my first instinct to do so when I get in even if I'm riding in the back of an Uber.

I totally came into the topic to stalk you... any way, to the surprise of nobody, you condemn a black man for supposedly reaching for a knife but defend a white racist thug who has a criminal record when he crossed state lines with an illegal firearm and killed two people...

Too bad the cops couldn't just step back like 5 feet or something crazy like that.

Knifes turn into high speed projectile weapons when touched by black men.

No amount of excuses can justify him getting fucking shot in the back seven fucking times. Intent to murder is clear with that many point-blank shots.

so lets pretend for a second he did reach for the knife, something he had already told the officers about.

and no one was like, hey we should back up and if he decides to charge out from the car well shoot him?

idk, common sense says youd de-escalate from a safe distance instead of pumping holes into someone you think might be reaching for a weapon that extends his reach by maybe 6 inches.

so not only does he tell them he has a knife, all three of these cops have guns, and people are trying to say that shooting him 7 times in the back was the only option? without him even posing an immediate threat, mind you.

There's a difference between committing a crime with the intention of not getting caught and what could only be described as suicide by cop by a seemingly non-suicidal person.

dafuq? telling a cop there's a weapon in your car doesn't mean you're actively using it on them. if anything it shows you're not trying to get the drop on them.

Because black men who don't commit crimes and obey orders are executed on the street anyway. That's a pretty valid reason to me.
