Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man shot seven times in Wisconsin while his children were present, is criticized by the speaker for allegedly ignoring police demands during a domestic disturbance call. The host argues race was irrelevant, claiming Blake's actions endangered his own family and that similar outcomes would occur with any suspect. He condemns community protests like city burnings as foolish, asserts domestic violence calls are uniquely dangerous for officers, and promotes officialharshtwins.com with a discount code while dismissing the incident as a failure of compliance rather than systemic racism.

Unarmed Black Man Shot Seven Times00:06:27
Yeah.
Welcome to the show.
I don't know why.
I got to laugh every time I do that, man.
I can hear myself in the mic.
Just sounds good, man.
Yeah.
But anyway, man.
Just get serious.
This is a serious topic.
We got another unarmed black man shot in the back seven times in front of his kids.
And when I read that online, I was like, man, I'm like pissed off.
I'm thinking, how the hell did this happen?
Yeah.
Right?
You got all your kids in the car and you get shot in the back.
So I'm like, yeah.
But before I can even get into the story, you have to see what happened.
Yeah.
I mean, all of this could have been avoided.
So easily, man.
So people would just listen.
Yeah, just stop and listen to the officers' demands.
And it's funny, the media, when they show the video, nobody ever mentions that.
Nothing.
Another unarmed black man shot in the back seven times.
When if they was in that same position as this, as Jacob Blake, they would have stopped and listened to those cops' demands.
That's the common denominator in each and every one of these situations.
Somebody ain't listening.
Yeah, somebody don't know how to follow directions.
I've been put over a couple times in my life at gunpoint.
Never got shot.
Never had to go to the hospital.
All I had to do was listen to the police officer.
Put my hands in the air, get on both knees, now put your hands behind your head, just lay flat back, now roll over, now put your feet in the air, now put one arm in there.
He didn't tell you to do all that.
I'm just over exaggerating.
All you got to do is follow the cops' directions.
So check out the video.
And everybody's talking about, oh my God, he got shot in front of his kids, which is a tragedy, which is horrible.
But personally, I don't think Jacob gave a damn about his kids being in the back of the car.
Because if I was in that position and I'm with my kids and they're in the back of the car and the cops point a gun at me and tell me and start giving me demands, last thing I'm going to do as a father is jump in the car for my kids.
But you know why Jacob jumped in the car with his kids?
Because Jacob didn't give a shit about his kids.
He didn't care what his kids saw.
He didn't give a shit if his kids was going to get shot because he's being stupid.
Just being stupid, man.
That's your kids in the car.
You got two officers got a gun on you.
Yeah.
And you jump in the car with your kids in the car.
Yeah, the cops.
Nobody's saying anything about that.
I'm up more upset at Jacob than anybody.
You got your kids in the car, man.
Yeah.
And people don't realize that domestic incidents, domestic violence calls for police officers are the most dangerous situations for police officers.
40% of police officer deaths in this country are responding to calls just like this.
Everybody keeps saying Black Lives Matter.
Do these two cops, do their lives matter?
Because Jacob put that life at risk.
Yeah.
He looked, when I looked at that video, looked like he was trying to grab a weapon.
Anybody with a brain will be scared.
Anybody with two eyes will say, hey, he's going for a weapon.
Yeah.
And honestly, the people that's saying that.
So if you was the police officer, you'd be like, okay, what he getting?
Oh, he's probably getting his wallet.
Oh, his driver's license.
He fell up under the seat.
Yeah, maybe he's getting, I don't know, a stick of gum.
Let's just see what he come out with.
Stop making excuses for this man.
No rational person would think that.
If I'm a cop or you a cop, I'm thinking he's grabbing something.
This whole thing could have been avoided.
All he had to do was follow the cops' directions.
And on top of that, man, when the cops get there, they don't really know what's going on.
They know it's a domestic disturbance call, but they don't know who's involved.
They don't know what transpired.
They got to do an investigation.
They got to ask questions.
They got to approach everybody as if they're the most violent person in this world.
Yeah, because like I said, domestic disturbance calls is the number one killer of cops.
Sometimes the wife will call it cops, right?
My husband's beaten me again.
As soon as they arrest the husband, guess who ends up shooting, killing the cops?
The wife.
Yeah, it's just dangerous from both ends.
Yeah.
And it's, man, same thing over and over and over.
And it's like, I don't get it.
It's like, as black people, you see, cops will shoot you if you don't follow commands.
They will shoot you.
Yeah.
They won't shoot you for no reason.
If they feel like their life is a danger, they will shoot you.
But they're just not going to get out of the car and start shooting you.
Yeah, cops are not hunting down black men.
I've failed to see a black dude walking down the street just minding his own business, flying a damn kite and a cop just jump out the car and shoot and kill him.
No, all these incidents are handled, has the same scenario.
Not following commands every single time.
And black folks, the media is playing you.
Now, every time I see an incident with an unarmed black man, y'all out there acting a fool, you putting your life at risk.
Yeah, they burning down the city now.
And now you're burning down the damn city.
When all Jacob had to do was just stop, listen, follow commands.
I mean, the cops' life matters too.
They're not going to sit back and wait for him to pull out a gun and shoot and kill him.
There's more cops shot and killed than unarmed men, period.
White and black.
Hundreds of police officers already died this year.
And more often than not, they don't get no warning or anything.
They don't get no protests.
They don't get no the NBA wearing the jersey with that name on the back of it.
Don't get none of that.
No respect at all.
Yeah, Jacob is in the position he is today because he didn't follow directions.
It had nothing to do with his skin color.
I guarantee you, if he was white, they would have did the exact same thing.
Race played no part in this.
Absolutely nothing.
Hopefully he makes it through.
He's out of ICU and he's not dead.
So hopefully he makes it through.
But it's like this growing thing that I see in the black community.
It's like black people have a chip on their shoulder every time the cops show up, right?
And it's almost like, okay, they're going to make me a hero today.
I'm going to act out.
They're going to shoot me.
They're going to make me a hero.
Race Played No Part In This00:00:25
This is going to be on War Store.
I'm going to be famous.
I ain't going to go out like no punk.
I'm going to be a martyr.
Man, y'all crazy as hell.
Yeah.
