Webb: It Was Jacob Blake’s ‘Own Fault’ He Got Shot for Not Complying with Police Orders

‘This is about complying, it’s not about color of skin’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

WEBB: "Yeah. Look, we need to look at this for the facts and a few seconds is not enough. We have Jacob Blake, who was tased. He pulled the prongs out. That’s very unusual, even based on their effectiveness which is around 60% to 70% according to most police data. He fought with the police officer. At one point he and the female officer were in a what I would call a mutual headlock. So she had her in a headlock, she had him. The knife was on him, he did not pull it but it did fall out. There were a lot of unknowns. And other officers were called to the scene. Then he goes to the SUV and reaches in. He creates another unknown after an ongoing incident for minutes, not seconds. This is about complying, it’s not about color of skin. Had a white man, any color of skin not complied with the police at this point, it would likely have led to this. Sadly, he was shot but it’s his own fault for not complying. It doesn’t matter the reason. At that point you comply with the police officer’s commands and you don’t fight with them."
