Politicians and media using us as pawns.

The problem is even if the absolute worst take on Jacob Blake is true, that he was a violent rapist with a knife, he still shouldn't have been shot, and when we get bogged down (intentionally by apologists for the shooting) in the minutia of Blakes character and actions it is just an attempt to avoid the real question which is what the hell is the justification for shooting him in the back 7 times when he was walking away from the cops or slowly over 7 minutes suffocating George Floyd when they had full control over him.
