People are making a huge mistake about the Kenosha shooting
By Andrea Widburg

The Democrats’ military forces, aka Black Lives Matter and Antifa, are destroying Kenosha. They justify their violence by claiming Jacob Blake was unarmed. People who don’t know the law assume that the police can prove their innocence only if Blake had a weapon. That’s not the legal or the practical standard.

The law requires only that the police reasonably believed that Blake intended to use a lethal weapon. This standard exists regardless of whether or not Blake had either the intention or the weapon.

In Kenosha, the police had been called to the house for a domestic violence problem. These cases are invariably the most dangerous calls police answer.

The police learned while heading to the house that Blake, despite the pictures of him hugging some of his six children, was not a nice man. There are criminal records for a man matching his name, address, and age. These records show there were warrants against him for domestic abuse, and sexual assault on a minor, and had been arrested in the past for waving around a gun, and had resisted arrest in the past, injuring a police officer.

This is correct:  It doesn't matter if an assailant is armed with an external tool like a gun or knife, because fists are deadly weapons if they can land blows sufficient to overcome an officer and allow a perp to get the cop's gun.

That's why discussions of thugs like Michael Brown and St. Trayvon the Child have been wildly off-mark.  These fellows weren't "armed" either, but it took their deaths to stop murders from being committed.  Michael Brown would have killed that officer just as surely as Trayvon Martin wanted to kill Zimmerman, the White Hispanic.
