It's this mindset that has the world so divided. The protests are the culmination of too many people dying at the hands of public civil servants across America. At the hands of the very people that have taken an oath to protect and serve them. The playoffs aren't more important than human lives and they will continue. Would it be okay if your child while at school starts to act out for whatever reason and after the teacher tells them repeatedly to comply, the teacher starts beating your child leaving them in a wheelchair because they didn't comply ?

She’s the true victim and it’s mind-boggling that not one word was said about her. Blake put himself in this position. He knew he had a restraining order filed against him by her yet he showed up to her house uninvited anyway. He could have left before she called the police on him yet he stayed and terrorized her by digitally raping her anyway. He was ordered not to reach for anything that could be used as a weapon when he went to his car yet he reached for a knife anyway. He could have complied when the police showed up to arrest him yet he chose to fight back and resist arrest anyway. He was given every opportunity not to escalate the situation and make it worse yet that’s exactly what he did. Blake getting shot and paralyzed was the result of his choices, not the color of his skin.

I don't think it's about them being painted as ''innocent'', but rather the police are not held accountable when they misuse their power.

[@i10v3mu5ic]

Not making excuses for the guy at all, but if what he said in tge interview is true, that he didn't hear much of what was going on in detail, only that people were screaming, it's possible that he entered into a state of mind where he wasn't even thinking, just acting/reacting to what was going on. Like he just blanked out or something. That being said, it would have been a response based on emotions. My brother, in our younger years used to hate if anyone touched his glasses or his face. It was a thing of respect, and he would literally black out if someone did so. This kid was bullying him, and sure enough, he touched his face and ended up knocking his glasses off his face. He instantly blacked out and immediately started punching the kid. The kid backed off. They later became friends. In the case of Jacob blake, the outcome was much more serious. There is one thing I can say to his favor, though. He seems real calm, mellowed out in the interview, and the way he's mentioning God as he's talking, could mean he realized how serious what took place really was. At least I sure hope he has realized it and that this experience changes him for the better.
